Treats Truck Brownies for the win

Alright, this is so good that I had to throw down a blog post about it. My colleague Chuck just brought me a brownie from the Treats Truck, and I must say it’s pretty ridiculous.

You know you want to track down the truck and get one for yourself.

SEO rap is on point

JRL drops a great post (via urg, natch) featuring the SEO rapper. Best part about this is that this is so on point with reality it’s not even funny. I think I might have to make this mandatory at work. Where’s Thilk when I need him…

John Stewart’s awesome reporting on enslavement and Barack Obama

Okay, I’m officially voting this the funniest thing that’s been done this week so far - during a live interview, John Stewart asked Barack Obama, flat out, if he planned to “pull a bait and switch and enslave the white race” on the Daily Show.
As I’m having lots of trouble with the official Daily […]

American Disinterested Idol?

Okay, so last night, Carly Smithson was voted off American Idol in a “shocker,” a word that I think only begins to sum it up. I don’t see exactly how she missed the mark in her “Jesus Christ Superstar” performance, especially when you compare it up to the disastrous performance that Jason Castro threw down […]

I can’t get rid of students I don’t know on LinkedIn!

Okay, so for the latest edition of “How Not To Be Annoying On The Internet,” I chose to pick on (sorry, Mario) LinkedIn, because I can’t seem to choose “I don’t know anyone here” when it comes to the social network’s suggestions of fellow students at institutions that I’ve gone to, while I can do […]

jetBlue & Paypal is a pretty awesome deal

Caught this post earlier today on The Bargainist about how a purchase of a flight on jetBlue paid for via PayPal nets you $20 back, just for paying with that service. Lots more skinny here from the airline itself, including the note that the offer is good for the first 4,500 people who take them […]

Beamz video just won’t stop playing in my head

Okay, so after yesterday’s interesting video featuring Microsoft and Windows Vista (note the category on Gizmodo is “Horror”), I figured that my brain couldn’t handle any more, but that wasn’t true. After all my vacation catchup, i had apparently missed out on this featured item, also on Gizmodo, for the Sharper Image’s Beamz video.

That’s all […]

DirecTV’s “We Go Viral” spot

I caught up with DirecTV’s latest ad spot that has been all over the airwaves but unfortunately not present on the company’s site just yet. Check out my current favorite, which I’m calling “We Go Viral” because it just so fits what plagues the world of PR and media relations these days.

Hope you enjoyed that […]

OMG it’s Scarlett

Chris just IMed me with one of the more badass things that’s come across my desk in a week or so, this link to JoBlo’s item featuring the Rachel Nichols-played Scarlett character in the upcoming GI Joe flick.
Click it. You know you want to.

Citibank payoff ridiculousness

Okay, so I have a few credit card accounts that I’d been paying down, and usually once I get them to a reasonable amount, I just pay off the balance in full once it’s a few hundred dollars. I have one card that I had reached a $400 and change balance, and I wanted to […]
