So from here on out, at least in my little part of what’s left of this world, if you’re filling up at a BP when there are other options immediately available to you, and if I see you doing it, just know that the guy in the Jeep who’s giving you the finger and screaming “JACKASS!” at you at the top of his lungs is me.
I think this is a brilliant way to get the slow, the apathetic and the uninformed folks who continue to patronize British Petroleum to take a hint and stop supporting them with their cash.
I know I’ll be shouting “JACKASS!” out my window at people in BP stations from herein.

Well … this just disturbs the piss out of me.
Just goes to show you that you can make high design and user experience available to the masses, and the masses will still find a way to fuck it all up. At least with the phone the users can teabag themselves while chatting with their BFF. That has value… or something.
One thing I do very much miss from hosting my own blog is seeing the analytics. However, I guess not seeing them is a blessing as well: I can’t get depressed about how no one is reading what I write if I can’t see who’s reading what I write!

The creators did an amazing job of pulling character models and textures from Blizzard’s World of Warcraft, animating them and compositing them into real-world footage. The dialogue is a good insight into who we WoW geeks are and why we do what we do.
