Using 873 stock images, BBDO Brazil and director Cisma created this video for their client Getty Images. Usually stock images are something to laugh at, but in this case, this video is just beautiful. The entire research and construction of this project took six months to complete.

Infographic: What Kind of Geek Are You

We have officially reached a time when the geek culture has been deemed acceptable in our society. Yes. I think I’ve always been a part of the small percentage that thought geeks were cool, but it was mostly because I could never understand why they weren’t. Steve Urkel, was annoying, sure. Some may call him a little bit clumsy, but have you ever come across someone with a sense of humor like his? Minkus was somewhat of a know-it-all, but he had good intentions. After all, he loved Topanga. It didn’t matter that she was never going to share the same interest in him in the end, but that never stopped him regardless.

Geeks rule. Enough said.

I’m a pop culture geek; which one are you?

Interested: Business Casual Work Wear

So I recently acquired myself a job in downtown Seattle that requires me to dress business casual every time I come in. After being in the business school for four years, you would think that I would have this down by now, but I don’t – therefore, it is on the list of things that still do not make me a complete adult. The mothership stepped in, naturally.

Now that I am so much more aware of it though, business casual wear is all that I want to shop for. No, it isn’t, really, but it’s on my radar.

This new collaborative collection between Banana Republic and Trina Turk has got me swooning.

Currently Craving:

It’s 73 today in Seattle and there is nothing that I want more right now than a good ol’ ice cream sandwich. Leave it to me though to be sick on this fabulous weekend. It’s really a shame.

The above photo is an advertisement [via The Frisky] of Carl’s Jr.’s newest dessert. It’s a cute play on the name, but let’s be real – I just want this:
