The day before...

Copy: Monday 10 September 2001 - The world can change in a day. Don't miss your daily edition of in-depth news.

It's not often that a print ad literally jumps up and throttles our attention like this one - done for local newspaper brand Cape Times - did this morning.

There are four executions. This one in reference to 9/11, another (beautifully shot) for Hiroshima 1945, the JFK assassination and the '76 Soweto riots [all after the jump].

Using iconic events from history, the campaign highlights the fact that world-changing events often can¹t be predicted and that the course of history can, quite literally, change in a day.

Love the art direction and the hard-hitting message of these ads. Stunningly arresting.

Makes you think what the Virginia Tech campus looked like on Sunday morning.

Chapit Domestic Robot: Cute Little Monkey!

This cute, little monkey robot is not only adorable, but also very handy! Chapit is an "intelligent" robot companion with some amazing abilities. The little guy can recognize individuals and differentiate between a man, woman, or child. Best of all, not programming is necessary so less computer savvy consumers have nothing to worry about. This little cutie will also serve you with a few basic tasks like turning lights on and off or electric devices like you T.V or air conditioner.

The little guy can even talk! He comes with a 100 word vocabulary and can learn up to 10,000 words. Chapit even has an internet connection which allows distant control. Let's say your on your way home from work and you want your lights on so it looks like you're at home and those pesky neighbourhood kids don't get any ideas like breaking into your house. Just pull your car over to the side of the road, whip out your PDA or laptop and tell little Chapit to turn on the lights and T.V.

Power Book & Macbook

Yes folks, I take pictures of every mac I come across. Today I met two happy mac users who had a brief giggle when they saw my compaq. As interest grows in these beautiful machines, my wallet begins to twitch.
