  • AdTrap Proposes Ad-Free Internet for All Your Devices

    / Comments (0)

    Not sure if this is scary considering the business we're in or an honest wake-up call for how pathetic and overwhelming online advertising has become, but there's a Kickstarter fundraiser campaign going on that you should be paying attention to. They've raised $76,497 on their way to a $150k goal — and there are still 25 days left to reach it.

    Simply put, AdTrap is a small, zero configuration device that removes ads from your internet connection before they reach any of your home devices. Video, music streams and mobile apps and websites, all ad free. One of the great things about AdTrap is that it's browser independent and works with any of your connected WiFi devices. Just plug it in, sit back and enjoy an ad free internet experience.

    How you feeling about this? More on Kickstarter.

  • The Xperia Soda Stunt from CP+B Sweden

    / Comments (0)

    Upon entering the biggest movie theater in Stockholm during the opening weekend of the new James Bond movie Skyfall, movie-goers were given a free soda. Prior to the movie starting, a video began to play letting people in the audience know that some of them were the lucky winners of a new SonyXperia acro S smartphone. Then certain cups started to ring and moviegoers were shocked to open the cups and see that the waterproof smartphones were actually inside, floating among their sodas. Agency: CP+B.

  • The Nerdery Launches The Nerd Drive: A Recruiting Campaign to Hire 100 Nerds in 100 Days

    / Comments (0)

    The Nerdery has its headquarters in Minnesota, where the unemployment rate is two percent below the national average — but the jobless rate is miniscule everywhere among skilled web professionals. Bottom line: The Nerdery needs more Nerds — and eventually, maybe all of them. For now, The Nerdery is rallying the community at-large to support its Nerd Drive to hire 100 Nerds in 100 days.

    Anyone referring a nerd they know will earn $100 if their referral gets an interview — and their referral bonus grows to $500 after their nerd has worked 90 days for The Nerdery. Much like a PBS member drive, thank-you gifts for supporters will escalate in value. Anyone who simply refers a nerd will be sent an “I Love Nerds” pocket protector; they’ll be rewarded with a mug if their referral follows through and applies for a Nerdery job.

    With offices in Minneapolis, Chicago and Kansas City, The Nerdery has made Inc. magazine’s list of fastest growing private companies in its first five years of eligibility, and has roughly doubled its staff and revenue almost every year since its founding by three programmers in 2003.

    We do indeed love our Nerds locally, but this seems like a genuine opportunity for Nerd bliss — or at least for you to get some shiny swag out of referring a Nerd The Nerdy's way. Give it a look.
