I’m not hiding, I’m on vacation

If you’re wondering why I might not be so prolific in the next few days, it’s because I’m on vacation in Hawaii. You’ll see a slew of photos of mine over at Flickr Flickr if you’re interested, and I’ll attempt to keep it real here as much as possible.
Aloha!

AT&T & A-B spots

I’m not the only one who sees the resemblance - maybe only to the end of the second spot, but still - between this AT&T “Buddy” ad:

And the ever-famous, way mashed-up Bud ad from years ago, am I?

Awesomest cat video. Ever.

MetaFilter is one of my favorite Websites, and has been for as long as I’ve visited it and been a member. The posts completely vary in quality, but that’s what happens when you have a site like that - a “community weblog,” as it were. Tonight, I caught this post about Charley, a cat with […]

Music, viewed differently

You might have thought that Excel and other software wasn’t able to be used for anything that wasn’t amusing, but you’d be wrong.
A few weeks ago, David had pointed me to this item on jamphat, “rap represented in mathematical charts and graphs,” and I couldn’t stop laughing. That, combined with the Rick Astley chart, […]

Sweetening the deal

While we’re all pretty much fascinated (okay, concerned, slightly?) by Bear Stearns being bought for $2 today, as opposed to the few *billion* it was worth last week, it’s important that we see the lighter side of the situation.
Check out this comic from Stock Mania! - you know you want to.

Vick’s dogs

I had been meaning to post about this and it was sitting in my inbox for some time now, so now’s as good a time as any. A little over a week ago, Brittney Gilbert posted an item on KPIX / CBS 5’s Eye on Blogs about a blog that’s doing something positive after the […]

Still digging this Sprint / NASCAR spot

I’ve gotta say, I’m still really digging this NASCAR / Sprint Cup spot that Sprint has been running on television, featuring the “monsters” versions of the Sprint Cup rides, using the flashy light that the phone carrier has been utilizing in its ads of late.

Every time I watch it, I catch something new that happens […]

Pontiac does it right with G8 commercial

Jeremy just hit me with an IM pointing me to Scott Beale’s post about Pontiac’s G8 advertisement featuring the world of Midway’s “Spy Hunter” video game. I’ve gotta say, the demographic being reached and the target market for the product are actually spot on with this, as folks who dug the game are probably ones […]

Saying goodbye to Dale Jarrett

For those of you who don’t follow NASCAR, you’re probably not too aware of the career of Dale Jarrett. For those of you who’ve ever turned a television on and watched a few commercials, you’ve probably seen the UPS ads featuring the driver looking to “race the truck.”
Well, this is going to be Dale’s last […]

If only I needed to seat 12

Eliot had passed along a link to this post on Gizmodo about the Fletcher Capstan Table that grows 73% larger in just seconds. Kind of insane, once you look at it.
