Brands Matter

Working for a Taiwanese tech company, I am constantly reminded of the importance of branding. In Asia, copying a sucessful brand is an excepted practice, with none of the same legal rammifications as in the West. In fact, you know you are a market leader when your competitors start copying your branding efforts.

Creepy Baby

Not quite sure why this baby on this MRT ad freaks me out. It just does.

The Glove

Saw this ad on the MRT today. It's a maxi pad ad with a woman about to go to bed with a white baseball glove. I guess it's for those really heavy flo nights.

Disco Christmas

Another year here in Taiwan for Christmas. It's easy to get a little bummed out as there is almost no feeling of Christmas here and the 25th is just another workday. Was feeling a bit down today when I saw this apartment decorated for Christmas. Not sure if you can see or not, but those are disco balls hanging amongst the decorations. Because, of course, nothing says Merry Christmas better than disco inferno!

Some people have less manners than common barnyard animals.

No Drink and Drive

One of the ironic things of this sign is that it was posted at one of the MRT stations (subway) in Taipei. The only people who see it are the ones that already don't drive. I thought the wineglass mouth was pretty funny as well.

Desire Each Other Runs

Saw this tee shirt on the MRT this morning. Definitely words I live by.
