A Truly Original Anniversary Gift

Sean Ohlenkamp created a "Happy Anniversary" card of sorts for his wife of three years, Lisa.  Originating from a single desktop folder on her computer, it led to a maze of dozens of folders within folders, each containing another line of his anniversary message.  Both very sweet and funny, it has to be seen to be believed.

I have neither the creativity, the ability to think backwards like that....or for that matter the patience, to accomplish such a feat.



Sean works for Lowe Roche, an advertising firm.  Take a look at his personal website if you get a chance.  He has two commercials in particular that are hilarious.  One is for the Nissan Quest minivan, in which 'Sesame Street's' Grover is doing his "Near/Far" bit to show how roomy it is inside the vehicle.

The other one is a commercial for Coinstar where Mario from 'Super Mario Bros.' uses a Coinstar machine at the end of the level to get rid of all of the coins that he picked up.  Very clever advertising.  This guy is good at what he does.  He also has some work that he has done for the San Diego Zoo's new Elephant Odyssey which is pretty impressive.

I guess when you perform on that level for a living, a card from Hallmark just won't do for your anniversary.
