think i'll start wearing a seatbelt now
via adgabber.com
I'll be the first to admit that I don't always wear my seatbelt. OK - Amanda nags me about this constantly - I rarely wear a seatbelt. This PSA from the UK is pretty damn effective...

I'd love to tell you how this thing will work but [leans in close for full effect]... it's magical. I suppose this is what passes for good copywriting these days?

sweethearts + twitter = tweethearts
Sweethearts might be the original micro-messager, doling out lovey-dovey phrases short enough to fit on one of their pastel-colored, chalky-tasting candy hearts. This year, the company adds "Tweet Me" to their repertoire of little love notes.
It's nice to see that even a company that has been around for a century and a half can find inspiration in, erm, @gremanda.

you had me at 'personal robots'
via youtube.com
Killer highlight reel of 1983's most awe-inspiring new gadgets: from portable cassette decks and palm-sized TVs to betamax recorders and (wait for it) personal robots "literally with minds of their own." Where do I get in line for one of those?
Bonus points for perms and special effects.
