I've always been fascinated with branding, names, and coming up with a good way to present something, whether it's really cool or rather mundane.
A common elevator brand name is Otis, but the elevator in my office is Schindler.
Does that make it Schindler's lift?

stuck in my head
Special thanks to Sylvia for posting this video on her facebook page. I can't get it out of my head now.
For the record - it's a medley of John Williams music from a variety of movies, but uses dialog from the Star Wars movies throughout. 21 year-old Corey Vidal is an impressive talent and this is just the tip of the iceberg.
Way to go Corey!
Now to get this out of my head, I need to listen to six hours of The Girl From Ipanema. That ought to get it.

Never-ending Hallway
I'm looking for a place to live in the Philadelphia area.
This hallway appears in one of the converted factory loft-type places I've toured. Notice the ramp and doorway creating a fancy optical illusion that the hall is actually longer than it is.
This would be fun.

How to Drive
Today is Saturday and on Monday I'm getting in the car and driving to Pennsylvania. I'm kicking off a new job in the Philadelphia area, working for The American Bible Society as the Director of Web Communications. My GPS will get me there, but since I have a passion for the details (anal) I looked up the route on Google maps.
Along the way, there were pictures of the road through Toledo. Most of them looked just the way I remember from the many times I've driven through Toledo, gotten on 475, and even hit the Ohio Turnpike. As I continued to pull up the images along the way, I discovered a rather disconcerting image.
Doesn't this seem dangerous to you?
I feel a little more confident since the directions continue...
13. Continue on I-76 E, Partial toll road, Entering Pennsylvania. 350 mi
However, I'm a little apprehensive about arriving anywhere after driving through a retaining wall of an overpass. But according to this next image everything seems like it's going to be OK. Just drive into the light...
Until I find myself on the wrong side of the road and have to cut across a cement barrier and directly into the side of this tanker.
I'm just going to follow the GPS and take my chances.
