I was in town for the next web conference last weekend and by luck of chance my trip coincided with the queen’s day festivities on Saturday. So here is a nice video capturing the spirit of Queen’s Day in Amsterdam which is basically an excuse for people to get pissed drunk at 1pm, not that im complaining. It was interesting to say the least..everyone was in orange and there were free concerts everywhere.

Human Tetris - An interesting Facebook campaign by EastPak, the backpack company.
The brand’s Facebook game Spak, which you only get to see if you “Like” the page, lets you play a with your Facebook friends’ faces superimposed over the falling bodies.
The Eastpak brand is only active in Europe and China, which may explain why there are none of the “professional jumper, do not attempt” disclaimers you might expect to see in the U.S. The rough-and-tumble nature of the game no doubt underscores Eastpak’s brand promise: “Built to resist.”
Fun, fun and fun.
