The ad that never ran



Here's an old one. Dong-A Pharmaceuticals contacted me in early 2002 about doing a newspaper ad. They were doing a series of ads featuring young people with extraordinary achievements, and how Bacchus, the company's flagship energy drink, was supporting such spirits. They showed me the concept design of the ad (on the right), which indicated that I was to be the second person on the series. After several hours of photo session, the studio came up with a finalized photo (small inset photo on the lower right) to be used for the actual ad. I went home and waited for the ad to appear, but eventually I was told that the ad run was canceled. A couple of months later the second series of the ad appeared, featuring a college student that flew fighter jets several times. Oh well. Click on the photo for a larger image.

Wesley on Television (EBS)

Professor explains to Wesley

As mentioned in the previous post, I was on television again. This time I was in a documentary by EBS about the electromagnetic radiation from electronic devices. I sat next to the professor so I guess that helped the exposure. ;-) I have edited the portion that covers our lab into a DIVX AVI video (7.3MB) and uploaded it.

Wesley on Television (SBS)

Wesley explains the mission

Finally, for the first time in 3 years I was on television again. The footage from the OpenWireless field day was shown during timeframe 09:43 ~ 11:58 of the "SBS Special for 60th Anniversary of the Restoration - Made in Korea - Part 5: The Impatient Koreans" on SBS yesterday at 10:55PM. I was shown for more than several seconds - speaking English, no less.

For those who missed the broadcast, I've got the video uploaded for just the relevant portion (8.2MB DivX AVI). Right-click and save, if you want. Please don't stress out my Mac. Thanks. :-)

Old News...
Wearable computer, a.k.a. Wesley's Wearable Project WDS-PWX-0 Rev.2.
I'm much more fashionable these days. But man, KBS video archives has a permanent record of that time when I was fat.
