L33t Designer - Web Designer Reality Show

Hmm… this is, if nothing else, an interesting tactic to create something ‘new’ on the web. In a world where reality shows capture the attentions of probably millions who want to know which chef won, who dissed Paris, which playmate got nookie… now online geeks (myself included) can find out which web designer won.

Enter L33t Designer, a soon-to-be-launched web reality show were contestants - web designers - are given challenges to complete in a …

Get a Mac - The TV Ads

I’m not sure if these ads are airing in South Africa - I dont watch much TV… But when I was in the states these ‘Hi, I’m a Mac… Hi, I’m a PC’ ads were all the rage. They’re really very clever and the advertising company that came up with the ideas for these definately needs a pat on the back for their creative work here. **sidenote - I wonder if they use Mac or PC?**…
