This television commercial appeared in the late 1970’s and helped Kentucky Fried Chicken take the number one spot in this category from Homestead Chicken. I’m not sure the same messaging (or images) would be appropriate in 2009! Please no vegan-spam. Just sit back, turn up the volume and enjoy this nostalgic TVC from my childhood.
Local usability leaders, Trent Mankelow and Sam Ng from Optimal Usability collared Steve Krug (author of Don’t Make Me Think) at a recent conference for a celebrity snap. His bible is almost compulsory reading for all Trade Me staff and copies are scattered across the office. We love Steve Krug and it appears that the feeling could be mutual. Read a sample chapter from Don’t Make Me Think.
Thanks for the great image, Trent and Sam!
Audience participation was required partway through this number in Auckland’s Vector Arena last Saturday as the sound system failed Art and Paul. I was lucky to be there for their first venue in their final world tour and must admit to having a tear in my eye as the whole arena picked up the tune where Simon & Garfunkel left off. It was a truely special moment for everyone there. Shame about the individual singing on this clip.
I pulled the guitar out at the bach last weekend and briefly rediscovered the fifth layer of skin under my fingertips. I also found out how useful Apple’s iStore is when digging out old tunes. Unfortunately (and weirdly) Billy Bragg’s rendition of Levi Stubbs’ Tears is not for sale. I’ve only got it on vinyl. Anyone able to email me an mp3?
