Nik's digital conversation starter on Communication, Business, Experience Design, and Technology.
When making a presentation, sometimes the photography you’re working with needs a tweak, especially photography found on Google Images. Such is the case with this series made just for fun.

If you can’t compete directly with the iPad, compete by attacking the minds of customers. I’m not sure how many people will actually wait for the MS Courier given that it’s just a concept, a concept that I would surprised (although ecstatic) to see MS actually deliver. In the meantime this is just inspiration for Apple and iPad developers; it looks like a dream.

Online Brand Building for Web Apps - Tip #1
The New Founders Program by Harvest (time tracking webapp) is example of a good way to build a brand online.
Startups apply for a free year of service in exchange for an interview about their company. The interview is then featured on the Harvest blog.
Harvest in turn gets:
- buzz from it’s target market - “hey check it out, my company got interviewed by Harvest”
- a warm fuzzy feeling contributing to the community
- original content for Google to go gagga over
Seen other great online brand building examples? Have you improved on this method, garnered interesting information about it’s practical usage, or developed other tactics?

Pecha Kucha Vancouver should Crowdsource Auditions
Cause+Affect “felt compelled to make a public statement about the last Pecha Kucha Night” after “a significant amount of feedback”. I’m glad to hear the venue issue will be resolved moving forward but if you “can not spend time auditioning” why not let the audience do it? I bet local startup Strutta could help.
