Harvard Magazine ~ Autism: ‘Probing the roots of a devastating disorder’
The January/February 2008 cover of Harvard Magazine (the Alumni Association’s magazine) has been sent out and has this sunset cover on the topic of autism:
It’s a mother and her son walking on what appears to be a beach at sunset. They are disjointed by a lightning bolt and some strange puzzle pieces. The image shows [...]

In a follow up to the Depend on Grandpa post, we declare "Viva las undies!" Grandma is back in action again thanks to the "best protection" available, and she’s taking a swing at the good life:

IBM Do ~ Avatar Island Commercial
IBM has a new ad out as part of their "Do" initiative:
It’s about the online world, avatars, and of course the little islands that they create. I think that it’s pretty much a direct reference to Second Life. I’m not really sure what islands have to do with "Do." Sounds like a bit of "doo" [...]
Creepiest ad smiles

This is from The Costco Connection January 2008 page 53.

Paradise retirement images range from the literal beach ads, like this T. Rowe Price one, to this very subtle Charles Schwab colors-only ad:
You have the beach, ocean, and clouds here — all in one otherwise hidden image. The same colors were later adapted and added to other ads. For example, there is this one for [...]
Sony Bravia ~ bunnies wave to a whale
I didn’t expect this Sony Bravia bunny commercial to resurface this year, but Wired has posted it as one of "The 10 Best Gadget Ads of 2007":
The weird part is that when I originally watched this I figured that it was a bunny ad that would probably have no significance to the Rapidsea cause (even [...]
The Onion ~ Point/Counterpoint on ‘Footprints’
I mentioned the religious significance of the footprints in the Navy Seal recruitment beach ad by the same name. Well, The Onion has taken that story and written a Point/Counterpoint article. It’s old, but worth a read.
Here’s a Point excerpt: "You dreamed you were walking along the beach with Me…. You noticed that many times [...]
