With a smooth, deep, hard-driving sound, it&#8217;ll make you move.  Beautiful song, beautiful video.</p>
<p>The light and airy vocals and the mysterious, artistic styling of the video creates a complete package of sight and sound.  This is the type of work that inspires me to produce my own music and videos.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Australia has been releasing some great music the past couple of years.  The video for the <a title="Miami Horror" href="http://vimeo.com/6938463">Miami Horror</a> single, &#8220;Sometimes&#8221;, is a perfect example.</p>
<p>Intriguing lyrics, beautiful tropical scenes and a sophisticated vision help us remember that there is still beauty and love in the world amidst all the death and destruction. We may be adults on earth, but we&#8217;re still children when it comes to the universe and there is still much to learn and discover.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>Cupertino, CA —</strong> Brace yourself. Apple is about to   change its logo — again. The new corporate mark, set to roll out this   summer, will be the tenth official logo for Apple in the last 13  years. “Jony knocked this one out of the park,” said one executive, on   condition of anonymity. “You can barely notice the damn thing anymore.”</p>
<p><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-153" title="apple_leaf_0" src="http://bigskillet.com/wp-content/uploads/apple_leaf_0.jpg" alt="" width="500" height="550" /></p>
<p>Latest  iMac shows off the new apple-less Apple logo:</p>
<p><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-154" title="apple_leaf_1" src="http://bigskillet.com/wp-content/uploads/apple_leaf_1.jpg" alt="" width="500" height="467" /></p>
<p>Jony Ive, apparently searching for things to do now that iPad and   iPhone 4 have launched, presented his new design at Apple’s quarterly   Minimization Meeting last week In the meeting, Jony presented a minimal  one-paragraph argument for  making the change. “In the mobile age, we  need to shed, not add. We’ve  shed 24% of the iPhone’s bulk, we’ve shed  Flash, and we will now shed  the bulk of our logo. The leaf says all we  need to say.”</p>
<p>A new  brand campaign will celebrate the new logo:</p>
<p><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-155" title="apple_leaf_2" src="http://bigskillet.com/wp-content/uploads/apple_leaf_2.jpg" alt="" width="500" height="458" /></p>
<p>“The old logo was way too complicated,” explains a graphic artist   inside Apple. “Leaf, apple … apple, leaf — the eye never knew where to   focus. The solution is pure Apple. Or, I should say, pure leaf.” A new  theme line, a minimized version of the old <em>Think different</em> line  — <em>Think dif</em>™ — will accompany the new logo at launch. A  pure  brand campaign featuring the new logo is slated to run in prime  outdoor  media.</p>
<p>If all goes well, it will have minimal impact on Apple’s business.</p>
<p><strong>Ok, so this is not true at all and soon realized it was a joke&#8230;</strong></p>

		<description><![CDATA[After much contemplation, the decision has been made to divide "Earph" into separate companies so each can focus more effectively on its particular market.]]></description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h2>What Happened to Earph?</h2>
<p>Earph still exists, but in time will evolve into an inspirational design blog and creative outlet. It will be a &#8220;products&#8221; based business and will act as a storefront for artwork, posters, prints and clothing designed by <a href="http://www.earphexhibitions.com" target="_blank">Earph</a>.</p>
<h3>Introducing Big Skillet</h3>
<p>Big Skillet will now be the main point of contact for all design services formerly provided by Earph.  Big Skillet&#8217;s focus will be the design and development of simple, usable websites for clients who want to build companies, strengthen brands, engage audiences and create relationships.</p>
<p><strong>Services Include:</strong></p>
<ul>
<li>Web Design &amp; Development</li>
<li>Content Management Systems</li>
<li>Email Marketing</li>
<li>Search Engine Optimization</li>
<li>Hosting &amp; Domains</li>
<li>Branding &amp; Identity</li>
<li>Print Design</li>
<li>Photography</li>
</ul>
<h4>Big Skillet?  Funny Name.  What&#8217;s the Deal?</h4>
<p>Yes, people normally smirk and laugh a little when they hear the name &#8220;Big Skillet&#8221; and rightfully so.  Big Skillet was born out of the phrase &#8220;home skillet&#8221;, but was altered after hearing a line recited in an old 70&#8242;s movie, &#8220;Tell Big Skillet I said hi!&#8221;  &#8220;Skillet&#8221; was soon adopted as nickname of choice by family and friends.</p>
<p>I admit, Big Skillet is a funny name, but I bet you never forget it!</p>
