Very recently we launched an important little site about water with our pals at Droga5. It’s for a UNICEF initiative called the TAP Project, which is a marvelously simple way to get clean drinking water to the people in the world who need it most. You can go to the site and donate some money if you like.

In beerscience news, we launched a very important Milwaukee’s Best Light sponsored project to help Americans track the manliness of their taste. Have a look at tscan2000.com to learn much more. This excellent bit of technology would never have succeeded without the help of the insightful folks at Miller and several of the top names in the field of computers. And lasers.

And in lighter, and much more ice cream related news, we made some delicious banners and built a lovely widget for Dreyer’s Ice Cream and American Idol. Basically, our old pals at Goodby asked us to make something to help people count down the days until the American Idol finale, while thinking about Dreyer’s Ice Cream the whole time.

You might be aware of the fact that beer can be used as a gateway to good times, but did you know that it can also be used to blow stuff up? It can. And that's why we've created the Milwaukee's Best Light Beer Cannon with our dear friends at Mother. Go to the site and see videos of beer and other things getting shot out of a cannon at the worst stuff ever. You know you want to find out who walks away the victor in the battle of Milwaukee's Best Light vs. The Ceramic Kitten. Hint: Beer always wins.

Oh. My. God. So much going on. Where to begin? First. Comcastic. We teamed up with Goodby, Number 9, our pal and sound designer Sean T Drinkwater and Erik Natzke to build out this site. TBG was responsible for the High Speed Internet section which entails 5 skills games that will eventually lead players to a tournament for their chance at getting into the Guinness Book of World Records. As a player, you will be able to challenge and chat with other logged in members to compete in the games head to head. Your score will be recorded, making you eligible to become the best mouse user EVERRRRR.

Next. The Passat B6 Minisite, created by our one and only Robert Hodgin, in conjunction with Arnold Worldwide, is live. There is going to be a total of 120 mini-videos that showcase the new features of the car. Right now, there’s about more than a third of them up, but the rest will be incorporated within the next couple of weeks. Check it out!

Third. The Milwaukee’s Best Light Poker Game. Made in conjunction with Mother New York. This is really awesome. Went up on Thursday on our Milbest site, alongside some other Poker-related content, all very fun. Test your poker skills against Poker champ Chris “Jesus” Ferguson:

Fourth! God, we’ve been busy. You know how when you call and we say “oh yeah, it’s pretty busy.” See? We weren’t kidding. Finally, we offer you Boston.com’s tenth anniversary game, Lobstah Bash. Defend boston from a rabid candle and present hurling lobster. Don’t ask. Just play. And be warned. It’s HARD.

IN OTHER NEWS: Gametap, a project we’ve been working on with Mullen, got a nice writeup in The New York Times yesterday. I saw a decent article in AdWeek this week as well, but that one, ahem, didn’t mention your Barbarian friends. We josh. Anyway, if you’ve seen the enigmatic Get Goatz or What Is Adat spots on Adult Swim, you might begin to have some idea what we’re takling about here.

Speaking of Adweek, they did a really nice writeup of the insanely, completely addictive game we did for Saucony with Nail.

Finally, we’d like to welcome Jill as an interactive producer. She was last at Electronic Arts. And we’d like to welcome Cole as our latest rock star Flash designer. We found him on Flickr. No joke. Who says the Internet’s all hype?
