About that lousy Expo 2010 billboard in Times Square.
The other afternoon I tweeted an image of a billboard promoting Shanghai’s Expo 2010 in New York’s Times Square. I was surprised (in a not good way) when I came across the sign, and if I hadn’t been completely occupied with my reasons for being in New York, I would...
More on Apple and manufacturing in China.
Last week I posted on the bizarre spectacle of Apple’s fanboys rallying to the defense of their favorite computer company on the occasion of a negative Daily Telegraph story on Apple’s safety, environmental, and labor record in China. To my surprise, the post generated a significant amount of traffic and...
The Sorry Spectacle of the US Pavilion at Expo 2010. But I still like the Expo, anyway. [UPDATED]
Today Foreign Policy publishes “A Sorry Spectacle,” my history of the regrettable and often bizarre effort to build a USA pavilion for Expo 2010 [a/k/a, the World's Fair] to begin on May 1, in Shanghai. Some of the material has been aired on Shanghai Scrap and elsewhere over the last...
Why are the fanboys rushing to defend Apple’s child labor record?
[UPDATE: Outside of the Chinese media and the Daily Telegraph, it seems like nobody is particularly interested in covering Apple's child labor record. TechNewsWorld takes a hard look at why, and comes down hard on a compliant, Apple-infatuated media.] Spend any time reading online technology reviews and you’ve inevitably come across...
A few thoughts on handling online corrections, and the NYT’s memory hole.
Over at Bill Bishop’s new Sinocism blog, there’s a very interesting post and discussion about how the New York Times handles corrections to its online edition. The example in question concerns a switch in a China-related headline, from “Beijing Police Beat Artists Protesting Evictions” to “Evicted Artists Protest After Attack...
On money sloshing down the streets, and being misquoted by one of the world’s “premier” newspapers.
[UPDATE: I've received an email from an IHT editor assuring me that a correction is being prepared for online and print.] [UPDATE 2/26: The digital version of the story mentioned in this post has been corrected. Many thanks to the editors and writer who helped the process along. I appreciate it.] Late...

Morris，Radio和我于上周末被邀请去北京参加耐克的一场推广巴西足球队服装的派对。我们为这次活动设计了3件艺术作品，用视觉来诠释著名的巴西球星罗纳尔多和罗纳尔迪尼奥。 当天的活动炫极了。现场的布置和表演细致且完美地展现出巴西足球的文化以及耐克产品的深度。娱兴节目和精彩纷呈的表演接踵而至，令我们应接不暇。 活动后的那一整天，我们在北京城到处晃悠。因为Radio和我是第一次去，合理安排下行程是必须的。我们用这一整天浏览了天安门、后海、簋街和北京798。真希望能有充足的时间让我们登上长城当一回好汉，下次吧！ 最后，我们想要对最慷慨的耐克客户Sukwan说一声感谢，感谢他提供我们这次旅行的机会。 Morris, Radio and I were invited to Beijing to attend a Nike event promoting the Brazilian gears for the Brazil soccer team.

Nike & Wieden + Kennedy Shanghai Awarded Bronze Pencil In The One Show Awards
耐克（Nike）和Wieden+Kennedy于今日宣布，W+K上海凭借其与耐克（中国）公司联合制作的记录刘翔重返赛场的纪录片《追》获得了One Show Entertainment电视节目类真人秀系列铜铅笔奖。这是亚洲在此项评选中的唯一赢家。 纪录片《追》记述了刘翔克服伤病成功复出的过程。由于严重受伤，刘翔退出了2008年北京奥运会，但他走出了退赛的阴影，经过长期的康复过程，终于在2009年9月成功复出。耐克为他们和运动员之间的承诺和这些励志的故事而自豪，通过呈献刘翔复出的故事，耐克不但让中国的年轻人更了解刘翔一路走来的挑战，也让他们对一个真正的运动英雄重建信心。 该纪录片的一个剪切版本首先由中央电视台在2009年全运会期间播出，之后又在五家地方电视台播出完整版。除了在电视台免费播放外，该纪录片还发行了限量版DVD，通过中国大陆和香港的耐克专卖店发售。随着这些发行，《追》在网络上受到了喜欢耐克的年轻观众的广泛追捧。 “这个奖项不仅是对作品本身的肯定，也是对耐克和W+K合作关系的肯定，它也突显了在亚洲的品牌有机会通过阐述故事内容的方式来做大品牌，以此来加深与消费者之间的联系，” W+K上海的总经理Kel Hook如是说：“这对W+K上海也是个很大大嘉许，我们通过和像Nike这样的品牌合作，有能力创作令人瞩目的内容。” “One Show Entertainment”娱乐奖是The One Club于2008年推出的新奖项类别，用以表彰在娱乐领域内具有卓越创造性的作品，包括电视节目、电影（包括纪录片和商业片）、游戏以及其它所有形式的电子娱乐和在线娱乐节目。One Show Entertainment旨在对那些代表某一品牌并能加强其定位的娱乐节目进行表彰和奖励。 Nike & Wieden+Kennedy announced today that they have been awarded a Bronze Pencil via One Show Entertainment in the Television Category-Unscripted Series for the Liu Xiang comeback documentary Chase, which was the only winner from Asia in this category.

Nike Sportswear “Year of The Tiger” Cortez video
最近我们制作的一个短片在许多博客上都很受欢迎。 作为耐克“生肖系列鞋款”的一部分，2010年虎年，Nike Sportswear发售了一双特别的虎年生肖鞋。 受耐克（中国）品牌传播组委托，我们为这双鞋的发行活动制作一个短片。我们决定让Morris来设计字体，而大象和Sally负责现场绘制7双鞋子，来展现出Nike Cortez的演变。所有这些都是在一天的时间中搞定的，而我们也不知道用了多少瓶颜料。当然可以想见，第二天早上大象和Sally 都早已精疲力尽，但与此同时，展现在我们面前的是7双漂亮至极的球鞋和time lapse video。 在”虎年cortez”亮相晚会上，耐克播放了该短片，而整个会场的布置都是由这些油画的鞋子组成的，我们和宠物同谋的演出同时引爆全场！ 努力终有回报。 虎年快乐！ One of our recent videos has been getting some love on the blogs. As part of the “Year of” footwear collection for 2010 (year of the tiger), Nike Sportwear released special pair of Nike Cortez. We were commissioned by the Nike China Brand Connections team...
本以为充其量不过就是一次扭伤，事实上我的脚却肿成了两倍大，还伤痕累累，青一块紫一块的。源于坐船游览，这又是另一个故事了。 经过X光检查后确定了伤情，8周的恢复期彻底浇熄了我新年假期去北海道滑雪的计划。我在诊所上了石膏，收获一对拐杖，设想着单腿滑雪可能是下一个人生目标。 对于我的灾难有些小失落，摆动着我那平凡无奇的鞋（类似石膏保护套那种），被我们天赋异禀的艺术家Emilia Bergmans发现了，她决定把我这双奇烂无比的鞋改造一番。我们从一些球鞋的图标上面找到了灵感。一边改造成了樱桃红的匡威全明星Chuck Taylor纪念版，另外一边则是纯白的耐克跑步鞋。 感谢Emilia。 The hope was that it was a severe sprain, despite the fact my foot had swollen to double its normal size, and was displaying all shades of purple, black and blue …some boat ride, but that’s another story.
