Being in the know with AHAlife
Who doesn’t like to come across something cool, something unique, or that one thing that you know will be just right for your friend who likes the neat things in life? Then check out AHAlife.
AHAlife is a collectively curated online discovery platform that just recently launched. Users can learn about and purchase top-notch lifestyle products and each product is submitted by an AHAlife “curator”. Curators can be well-known (Diane von Furstenburg and Tim Gunn are two) to top bloggers from around the world. Users can also submit products and become part of the curator community.
The idea behind AHAlife is to find the more interesting products in the world, feature them in an editorial fashion, and collect orders for them either on-demand or even in a timed sales format. The platform features one product each day for 24 hours.
Check it out here and if you’re lucky enough to know someone that can help you get invited as a curator, think about that cool product you saw last time you were in whatever city and share it.
Tour the world in 80 seconds
It’s Sunday night. I’m in a light mood. Saw this very cool video put out there by Sony to promote one of their cameras. Go around the world in 80 seconds. Cool marketing piece.

A Creative Twist
I came across this the other day and think it is not only funny as hell but I bet these guys are killing it with these as they describe "soul crushing" posters. They're actually really funny and there is something for all occasions.

The 5 coolest products right now
When I first made Anthidote I did so as a place to be able to cover true talent, true quality, great products, and rational thinking – four areas in which I like to surround myself. Well… with all that has been going on with politics and current affairs for the past several months the posts at Anthidote have been a little heavy on the “rational thinking” side of things. I decided to have a little fun and put up a post covering the top 5 coolest products on the market right now from what I’ve been seeing lately so here goes:
1. The Zero Halliburton briefcase :
2. Marushin Motorcycle Helmets :
3. The FrancisFrancis X-1 Trio Espresso Machine :

Cachaça (and great marketing)
I recently came across an ad for Cabana Cachaça (that most excellent Brasilian spirit made from sugarcane juice) which caught my eye for two reasons. One was for the below image and two was because the ad directs the viewer to the URL with the words “Uncensored Images and More at….” then prints the URL (see below). This is brilliant marketing. To top it all off, when you get there the web site is excellent. Check it out for yourself:
