Skip it.   The Neighbors’ Window – Oscar Winning Short Film A long time ago, we worked for a creative director who told us, “There’s no such thing as greener grass. It’s all just different grass.” True, true. But if we could add to that wisdom: “The greener it looks, the messier it probably is.” This Oscar-winning short will have you reevaluating the whole concept of envy.  Different grass, same life lessons.   Throwback From the Archives: Apple Releases First iPhone in 2007 “You zoom in or zoom out by pinching or un-pinching with your fingers. It’s spectacular.” Watching the iPhone’s debut feels like listening to your grandma describe texting today. “You just use your fingers—no buttons!” It’s both dated and somehow still magical.  And yes, it really is spectacular.   The Mixer The world’s first soda brand that’s still around.
