    Owners Lawrence and Sharon Tarantino are putting their New Jersey Frank Lloyd Wright designed home on the market. The nearby frequently flooding river threatens to eventually destroy the home.

    Priced at $950,000 USD, the listing stipulates that the buyer must also agree to move relocate the home. Apparently an architect has expressed interest in relocating the home piece-by-piece to Florence.

  • Tattoo Shop Uses QR Code To Test Potential Hires

    / Comments (0)

    Who said QR Codes are useless? Well we certainly have. We think they're one of the biggest turds created by digital advertising (and that's saying a lot). But maybe we're wrong.

    To cut down on time spent screening resumes, interviewing and testing artists, this tattoo shop in Turkey along with agency BÜRO, launched a campaign to test participants' skills.

    Berrge Tattoo used a print campaign to screen applications. Interested artists would have to fill in a QR code by hand which they would then scan, giving them access to details about the job.

  • Don't Text and Drive

    / Comments (0)

    Created from smashed car parts welded together, this sculpture from TBWA/RAAD for Nissan aims to stop young people to stop texting and actually pay attention behind the wheel.

    The sculpture reads 'FYI' and is puncuated by a QR code. This is possibly one of the few instances that we think a QR might actually be effective. Nice work.
