Hands down the best ad I've ever seen
was an edit of the Jeff Goldblum PayPal ads in 2012.
The clips were a super simple edit of the OG, slowed down so Jeff seemed to be slurring like a drunk.
I tracked down the dude who made the edit to let him know the impact it had on my developing humour as a teen. (Do this to people, it's nice).
I then reached out to the then CEO of PayPal to pitch him a redo. We didn't make contact.
I didn't stop there though, I pitched the then head of social, who passed it along to her team.
In the ideal ending of this anecdote, PayPal would have heard the call and said "yes, what a wonderful creative direction for us!!" and this post would wind up with a neat resolution.
That didn't happen though so maybe just imagine it.

I think many high-ambition people underrate fun and humor.
And I’d even go so far as it say it holds them back
designers, go work with Sam.
friends, we are looking for a designer to join @schematikio
if this is you → reply with your best work :)
why join:
- so much fun
- probably one of the sickest jobs right now, building hardware with ai is an amazing challenge
- youll be leading all the design :) and design is really at our core
- wide variety of projects from starter kit box, the app, pcb silk screens, the branding, the merch anything!
- cracked team
- if you wanna learn hardware, you can learn it here, if you love hardware, you can do it here
- our office has a hardware workshop
- we are inventing a new way of working with AI, our company is kind of a constant experiment in new ways of working
- good equity
- yes you'll get a schematik jacket
what might be dealbreakers to some:
- orange will remain a brand color
- you are the only designer
- we are in-person, so we want you here in amsterdam
- you need to be self-driven, there won't be a better designer to coach you here
- if you want the best cash base comp, join anthropicp
- the smell of solder
If you made it this far, reply with your best work. If you DM or e-mail me please write it by hand, not ai.

I actually love seeing people on a run. you go little buddy, feel the wind in your hair, feel your heart beating.
I hope your body does the endorphin thing and you feel all accomplished and euphoric. Good for you.

Maintaining faith in humanity is a civic duty that can change the course of people's lives. I don't think it's just self-belief that pushes us forward but belief in others.
service needed!
come to my house and squirt me with a water gun every time I try to open a new tab or look up anything new instead of reading what's in my saved & bookmarks.
