Alec Brownstein, copywriter in search of a job found a brilliant, simple and cheap idea to enter the job market.
With only $6 his resume was delivered to 5 of the biggest Creative Directors in New York and landed straight on the top of the big piles of CVs on their desks. He didn’t have to print a single page or mail any motivation letter. Now he works for the Y&R NY and he would like to share his story with us:

Trying to find just one good thing in life that is not 1. illegal 2. immoral or/and 3. fattening. Nothing, so far.
People are creatures of habit. If you have losing habits, you will lose you.
Today, I will encourage mistakes.
Creativity is by definition practical. If you don’t believe me, stop the engine of your car and push to work today 
What we live is what we feel. What we feel is what we create. What we create is what we are. What we are is what other people live.
Ethics is not a new jacket, asshole. But the very skin you put under a shirt which you wear under a sweater worn under a new fucking jacket.
Let me love all of you out there that are not the center of the Universe today.
Taken from yesterday’s editorial on Iqads, which is written partly in Romanian. You can find more, however, if you have a look here from time to time.

We slept on the photos from the party for a while and let them bake with likes, tags and comments. Today we chose 7×7 of the most popular photos and prepared the long awaited FRIENDSbook. They were chosen both from the photos taken by us and the ones taken by our friends during the live-pic-event.
Enjoy and keep on liking, tagging and commenting on our Facebook group!

For all those Tarantino fans out there, here’s a reference manual about his badass characters, foot fetish and racial slur.
Doesn’t it make you wanna go home and play some Pulp Fiction, then some 4 Rooms, then some Kill Bill, then some Reservoir Dogs, then start all over again?

A while ago Mr. Jobs held a speech at Stanford College. Some think of it as one of the best and most inspirational speeches ever given. What we know for certain is that he received standing applause at the end.
In simple words he offered great advice about making the dots connect: don’t settle, believe, stay hungry, stay foolish. And we wish this to all of you.

Friday night we had this big party with friends and friends of FRIENDS and we toasted for the 7th anniversary of our dear agency.
The event was broadcasted live through the photos uploaded in real time on our Facebook group – friends of FRIENDS.
You can still tag, comment and like or unlike them there and according to the feedback, some of them will be enclosed in the FRIENDSBOOK 2010.
For those of you who weren’t there or for those who wish to see it again, here’s the photo sum up of the agency’s past year, 2009.

Since April Fool’s Day is gone and there’s no spoiler alert danger for this year any longer, we can all relax and lay back. There’s no such thing as butterfly attacks and no human was harmed during the shooting for the following viral video:
More about this here.
p.s: who else played a good prank on his friends yesterday?

Although some say that the internet/the cloud/the web is toxic for kids, others sustain that it could be healthy.
And here you are – another dilemma. What should you do? Is it good? Is it bad? What to choose? How can you find some more time? And so on.
It’s a serious matter. It’s about your kid. And you want to be the best parent ever.
I think that the answer (although it’s not really an answer) is „moderately”. What’s a lot is too much, and what’s a little, it’s missing.
After all, the kid falls, gets up, cries, laughs, hurts, gets over it and so on.
Even if I’m not a parent, I think we should protect him/her „moderately” (a thin line between freedom and control).
But then again, why am I to give advices?
Anyway, I’m going to watch Silly Symphonies again. I can barely wait to show them to my future child.
Good luck to all the parents out there (classical ones, 1.0, bio, 2.0, trendy, retro, 3.0, cool and so on)!
