Now this is a great remix of “Singin’ In The Rain“, yet another example of great Volkswagen ads.

Networking Update 1
O.k. So I’ve gone through the process of adding the links to my “Networking” section, on the left side. I’ve signed up to 3 different sites and I’ve been playing with how they work and what can be done.
- Ecademy – Seems to be chalker block full of features and additions. You’ve got blogs and message boards, meetings and clubs but only if you can afford it. I’m still looking through it, but so far, nothing for the broke ( which is me ).
- LinkedIn – It’s a friendster for business. You can search profiles, groups, experiences, business industries, anything that the users put up. And another bonus, it’s free. I’m connected to 1 person so far, woohoo!
- MeetUp – This site’s purpose is a little different. Like LinkedIn, it’s free. They’ve got a small twist, its goal is to create physical networks. Sure they’ve got a message board but their strive is to make the face to face connections, which is scary but I think can be very beneficial. I’ve got my first meetup on Feb 10.
Ultimately like real networking, it’s something that takes time an patience, so one week isn’t going to get me huge results. I’ll check in from time to time to let you know how the network grows.

Still Looking, Still Working
Well, I’m still looking for finding ways to extract event data. If you’ve got any suggestions or sites to read, send them my way. At the same time, I’m now working on building out the advertising portion of the database and UI. This of course is needed if I want to make money, and well…I do need money to make the business go.

Lovin’ It Too Much
Not only do companies have problems with translating things into foreign languages. But now slang is the problem too. Ha Ha, McDonalds! Takes their recent catch phrase “I’m lovin’ it!” to a whole new and disturbing level. Did I say Ha Ha?

Doris Day Does Dallas?
It seems there was a mistake in a shipment of Doris Day DVD’s. The BBC reported, Sex movie mix-up shocks couple.
Now here’s the kicker.
The couple, regular attendees at their local Baptist church, settled down with a cup of tea to watch the 1957 musical… “My wife and I were very shocked but we watched it until the end because we couldn’t believe what we were seeing.”
When people are in shock they’ll watch just about anything! This was a mistake, but just turn the T.V. on and you’ll see this kind of stuff happening intentionally.
