• NEW! Rob Lowe Is The Latest Colonel In KFC Campaign
    Rob Lowe is the latest actor to play Colonel Sanders in a KFC campaign -- but I believe he's the first to ditch the Southern accent. Although it does come and go. The Colonel promotes KFC's Zingers chicken sandwich with a promise to send a sandwich into space this summer. The Colonel, dressed in a space suit, addresses the media, and Americans, with an important message of exploring the unknown by sending a Zingers chicken sandwich into space.

  • NEW! Using Sound, Lexter Helps Blind Athlete Run Unassisted
    Lexter, a Swedish sound design company, used technology to improve the life of Oscar Widegren, an 18-year-old blind athlete who typically runs with the help of one of his parents. The company, aiming to improve the lives of many via technology, used sound to allow Widegren to run in a straight line, unassisted. To Widegren, this is the definition of freedom and independence.
