Kodak is bidding farewell to its Olympic association after many great years. This however has surfaced an unintended consequence. Let me explain...
During this most recent games in Beijing I did a rather in-depth (and popular) post called; Twenty Years of Kodak Olympic Pins. Soon after this post went live I got a call from another Kodaker telling me that they had some extra pins in storage and wondered if I would like them. I said sure, I was sure to find a good home for them. Guess what? There were 10,000 pins!! All the same design! And they were from the 2004 Games in Athens!
Here is what they look like:
Our normally very creative band of people here in the office have come up short on ideas for what to do with these. Here are some of their suggestions:
- Create a unique sculpture?
- Place them face down at the exit of the parking lot with the warning "Severe tire damage, do not re-enter!"
- Come up with an over the top photo project for our Tips & Project Center
- Use them to hang 2,500 pictures on various bulletin boards? (Do the math, it works.)
- Place them in a time capsule for some future civilization? (I can envision the analysis now, "Obviously this was some sort of precious currency for this civilization.")
- Give one to each of the developers of the first 10,000 i-Phone apps.
The ideas just weren't coming. If a picture is worth a thousand words 10,000 Olympic pins have to be worth something to someone! That is where you come in - let us know what you think we should do. We welcome all suggestions. As evidenced by the list above we need help.
I am counting on you!
