The scary part is that EPIC looks like it could really happen. This is some fine motion-graphics work and worth the peek. All the ideas and theories could really happen. Just how far will this “internet” take the world? And will it be for the better?
Elsewhere, I received the most excellent piece of mail yesterday. It was a nice envelope with my address ink jet printed on the front in what looked like Apple Chancery. Opened it up and there was a trifold "letter" of the same paper and a vellum sheet in it. It was, for all intents and purposes, a wedding invitation. I was like, “Now, who do I know that might be getting married.” It turned out, however, to be the most clever direct mail piece I have ever seen. It was a “wedding” announcement for Cingular Wireless and AT&T Wireless. It was brilliant. And from the looks of it, they sent one out to every one of their customers. What a great piece of junk mail. I am definitely holding onto it.
Weebl & Bob give another history lesson.

EPIC does sound a little scary. Tech gone power hungry at the very least. Why do they have the shadow of PI look like the pi symbol? Is it just a design choice? Mixing a mathematical symbol with the "techi" name? Or something deeper I'm not grasping?
The π-shadow could be referencing the movie “Pi”. The idea is that the internet is becoming its own sentient being — an ever evolving life form. And with that, it can also become a metaphor for the etheral, yadda, yadda, yadda — and God is speaking to us. Basically, the movie “Pi” has this dude decipher π into a message from God. The internet as a metaphor for God? Who knows… but EPIC seems to be shown taking on a god-like existence.
By-the-by, that name seems a bit vague, Anonymous… you go by anything more specific?
