Awesome Trailer: Prometheus (International Version)
Yeah, yeah, yeah. I know it's been Prometheus this, Prometheus that for a month. But Avengers comes out this week and Batman's not giving us much. (Thanks Nolan) But, this Prometheus trailer features some interesting insights into the movie's plot. Now I'm absolutely dying to see this movie.
Awesome Time-Lapse Video of Yosemite.
Apparently I live in the same state where this video was shot.

Awesome Ride: Bentley EXP 9 F Concept
Whoa! I know we like to bash luxury car brands that step out of their comfort zone to make SUVs, but the Bentley EXP 9 F is probably the coolest automobile I've ever seen. Absolutely. Unbelievable. via Cool Hunting

Awesome Experience: The Zombie Mall
I swear I was just talking to my buddy Ian about doing this exact same thing if we won the Mega Millions jackpot. Damn Brits!!! This looks killer though.

Awesome Stunt: TNT - Push to add drama
Ah, another one that got lost in my bookmarks folder. This is great. And I love when companies are willing to do something cool for a small group of people knowing that over 22 million will see it on the Internet later.
Awesome Ads: ESPN - "Handshake" & "Michael Jordan"
ESPN has always had some of the best commercials around. These two new ones don't disappoint.
Awesome Movement: Kony 2012
Despite the criticism and the director's public nude rant, this movement has been pretty impressive. With over 100 million views and counting, the general public is now pretty aware of Kony and looking for more information, which is what they set out to do. This Friday, April 20th, is their global day of action called, Cover the Night. Click here to find out what you can do.
Awesome Trailers: Mass Effect 3
I missed the first two installments of Mass Effect, but with the heavy promotion for part 3, I decided to check it out. Only been playing for a little bit, but so far so good. Plays like Dead Space, which is nice. Hopefully it doesn't get boring half-way through.
Awesome Performance: Dr Dre & Snoop @ Coachella 2012
Damn I really wish I was there. Between the Nate Dogg tribute and a cameo by Tupac in hologram form, this was one hell of a performance.

Awesome Ad: DB Export Dry - the wine is over
This spot cracks me up. I can totally relate to this. Why does everyone in SF wanna go wine tasting all the time??

If you wanna jump to some fun landmarks:
Loch Ness Monster
Area 51
Google Headquarters
Awesome Story: Caine's Arcade by Nirvan Mullick
Just saw this on Devour it's one of the best stories I've seen in a very long time. Caine Monroy is a 9 year old from East LA who literally built his own arcade out of cardboard in the front of his dad's auto parts shop. The amazing thing is, because his games are built with the passion and joy that only a child with his imagination could possess, they look more fun than most of the $1billion video games that get released every year.
This kid's amazing. And you if you agree, you can click here to view his website and donate to the scholarship fund that was set up for him.

Awesome Video Blog Post: Glove and Boots - ode to seuss
Although their followers is still below the 100k mark, Glove and Boots are two of my favorite Internet characters. Dr. Seuss is also my favorite writer of all time (sorry Augusten Burroughs). This tribute to the great Seuss is hilarious, a must watch!
Awesome Part II: New Era Caps - Chicago vs. Chicago Round 1
Personally, I loved the first series featuring New York fans Alec Baldwin & John Krasinski. But, this first video featuring two Chicago baseball fans with different team affiliations, Nick Offerman aka Park & Rec's Ron Swanson and Craig Robinson of The Office & Hot Tub Time Machine fame is even better. Absolutely love the dialog on this one and can't wait to see Round 2!
Awesome Pitch: The Muppet Show sold to CBS
I'm sold. This is the original pitch to CBS to get them to buy off on The Muppet Show. Freakin' genius if you ask me. I wish I could use the Muppets to pitch all of my ideas to clients. via Devour

Awesome Act of Kindness: Keep Aaron Cutting
Speaking of cleaning out bookmarks, this was bookmark #1 from August of 2011. It's an amazing story. After the London riots, many small businesses were left in ruins. One of them was Aaron's barbershop. Aaron had been cutting hair in the same location for decades and couldn't afford to fix his shop. So, a group of interns from BBH in London decided to tell his story to help raise the money he needed. All in all, they raised 35,000 pounds, which is over $55,000. Truly amazing. You can see the original video below and see the progress they've made in rebuilding Aaron's shop by visiting their blog here.
Awesome Promotion: Uber Cab - ubercade
If you're in a major city and require a level of class that a regular cab can't deliver, Uber Cab is the way to go. I use it sometimes in San Francisco. It does cost more, but it's worth it. This was an awesome promotion idea for their Washington D.C. launch. It's just sad that it wasn't exposed to the masses, which I guess doesn't make it that 'promotional'. Oh well, awesome idea!
Awesome Ad: Target - color changes everything
I've been cleaning out my bookmarks so the next few posts may be dated, but they're still awesome. I don't know if it's the color, the fluid movement or the song, but this spot for Target just makes me feel good. It actually makes me want to redo my place. Amazing work.

Awesome Ads: Toyota - Coach T
March Madness may be over but these spots are still fresh in my mind. By far the best college hoops inspired ads this year.
