BFFs Angie and Kristan blog about anything, everything, and sometimes even nothing.

Advertising + heart = success

by Kristan

Angie and I both have immigrant parents (I have 1, she has 2) so I think this new Google commercial really hits home for us. But parents and children of any type should be able to appreciate the idea of love and sacrifice.

Yes, this made me cry.

Google’s new icon (favicon) = BLECH

by Kristan

Google recently unveiled a new favicon (that little square symbol that shows up next to the URL input bar of your browser and/or the tabs. Voilá:googlefavicon_0109

My reaction: EW.

This was the original design submitted by André Resende, and it is MUCH nicer:favicon_andre

There were also a lot of other designs earlier on in the process, MANY of which are nicer than what Google ultimately chose/bastardized.

What do you think about the new icon? Which option is your favorite?

Fear the mouse ears

by Angie

Google Chrome has their own web browser now, but it’s only for Windows, so I haven’t tried it.

Wait, I have Windows on my new Mac.

Like my media sales professor said, everyone is going to be working for Google and Disney. Sorry Microsoft.
