  • My dilemma

    Branding has been my problem from day one.
    Passion has been my problem from day two.

     

    Routine has been my problem from day five, because I couldn’t think on day three and four so I decided to just walk around my living room, stare out the window, and down right do nothing.

  • The CRTC wants to hear from you, only after they put you to sleep

    The CRTC is asking for feedback around this whole fee-for-carriage debacle. The government is stepping in and asking them for a formal report behind why people are up in arms, kicking and screeming. The study is to figure out “whether local television stations should be able to charge cable and satellite companies for distributing their programs.”
    But first you have to watch this very scripted William… Shatner impersonation that… could be played… more… like a government answering… machine message

     

    I commend you for trying to incorporate YouTube, but as system surrounded by broadcasters, I expected a little more.

  • Sensuality for all

    This ad is destined to become one of the most controversial of the year, and certainly both the advertiser (New Liaison Dangereuse) as the agency I make it (Glow) seek just that, because together sensuality, half-naked bodies and religion (for more worse, the Muslims), not made to go unnoticed

     

  • Self-Promotion for Introverts by Nancy Ancowitz

     

    introvert-self-promotion

    The world needs us, can’t live without us, and often doesn’t quite get us. However, we persist, mostly behind the scenes, quietly contributing to society—writing, creating, designing, researching, solving problems, and digging for treasures ancient and new. Are you one of us? If you’re more of a Warren Buffett than a Donald Trump, and more of a Greta Garbo than a Madonna, you’ve come to the right place. It’s time for you to stop hiding from the spotlight. Time to get recognized and compensated for your gifts. Rather than buying in to the common misconceptions about introverts, you’ll apply your quiet strengths to raise your visibility in a way that feels right for you. And guess what? You don’t have to brag. Not even remotely. You can promote yourself authentically without the ‘ick’ factor.”

    Sometimes someone who looks like in extrovert is an introvert? Interesting perspective.

  • Add Tweetmeme to Blogger templates

    I was trying to figure it out, and I found an answer.

    Click Expand Widget Templates and look for “<div class=‘post-header-line-1’>”

    After that it’s a matter of adding your tweetmeme and fbshare.me code, wherever you want it. The key is to set the url’s with <data:post.url/>.

    In this example I decided to float it, and switch the service to use bit.ly, but you can do what you will. Here’s what I used.

    <div style="float:left; margin: 10px;"> <script type="text/javascript">'; tweetmeme_source = 'usedeverywhere'; tweetmeme_service = 'bit.ly'; // --></script> <script src="http://tweetmeme.com/i/scripts/button.js" type="text/javascript">var fbShare = { url: '', google_analytics: 'true' } // --></script> <script src="http://widgets.fbshare.me/files/fbshare.js"></script> </div>

  • Balanced News by Embracing Bias

    I had a thought in class for a newspaper. What if newspapers had two or more articles on the same topic, but from different perspectives? Would that be of any use? Would it change readership? Would embracing bias and showing both sides of the bias, counteract it?

    If not in the sense of traditional print media, then maybe a flag on google news that indicates, left wing, right wing or editorial? and maybe a view to see 2 articles side by side? On one side, the left wing, on the other, the right.

    Anyone up for wring an app like that? I’d be up for using it.
