Say What? Data Visualization in Mapping

Published by on

At Relish, we love data visualization. I also have a personal affinity for linguistics and cultural differences between seeemingly similar population groups.

Aspect Ratio History in Film

An acquaintance once quipped, “Letterboxing is bogus. They just cut off the top and bottom of the screen so you can see less.” Clearly, this interpretation of the modern screen dimension process is incorrect.

Even more so considering that at one point in time, the “chop the top and bottom” theory was actually put into practice!

The Power of “The Good Idea”

Published by on

Social media is taking the power away from money and giving it to “the good ideas” and those who posses them. In the past, the only way to bring attention to your brand was to spend a shit-ton of money developing marketing and brand campaigns and then paying even more for ad-space and media-buys to […]

Slight change of heart – iPad

Published by on

Though I still feel that the name, “iPad” is truly awful, after meeting up with an old friend and colleague yesterday, my overall thoughts on this product have changed a bit. See, Scott is a media guy and one who, when we first met, really didn’t like Apple products at all (Interesting combination, I know.). […]
