Ivar’s is a famous clamchowder house in Seattle. For the Superbowl this year, they bought one half-second ad (yep, .5 seconds) as a local TV buy in Seattle. I thought it was a pretty interesting idea since it got them some press and definitely spread word of mouth. Plus, they might have made a “subliminal”…
I am headed to CES on Tuesday and at this time of the year I am always reminded of my two favorite Vegas quotes: Luck is believing you’re lucky – Tennessee Williams Что происходит в Вегас остается в Вегас – a Russian friend of mine Technorati Tags: CES,Consumer Electronic Show,Las Vegas
Over the last week, I have had two small world moments with acquaintances/friends that just hit the public eye/spotlight. The first one I saw the other night was an acquaintance from high school who is on The Mole. I was randomly watching the Mole and saw a guy that looked familiar but I couldn’t remember…
MSN and Windows Live have a PR outreach program called "The Expert Series". It is a group of people throughout MSN and Windows Live that are chosen by the PR team as experts in certain areas. Once an expert has been established, the PR team then goes out to newspapers and radio stations and pitches…
Now that the writer strike is over, the big question that I want to know is: How long will it take to get the reruns off the TV and get back to some new programming? Do you think that the writers have been actually doing some writing during the strike and as a result there…

I normally like watching the Super Bowl ads every year along with the game. However, this year like most other watchers, I was pretty disappointed with the ads that were shown during the show. In particular, I thought that they biggest waste of money was by Salesgenie.com and by Bud Light. That being said, there…
After spending Saturday tailgating for the UW Huskies game and having a great time, I had to laugh when I saw these Green Bay Packers tailgating photos of Justin Timberlake, the guy from Dawson’s Creek, and Jessica Biel. If you look at the pictures in progression, make sure to look at the person in the…
Nearly every time I watch Letterman or Leno (admittedly not very often though), they have a section of their show dedicated to a different YouTube video that was popular that day. When is YouTube going to create their own TV show showcasing just the most popular videos from YouTube?? Or do you think that it…
One of my good friends from school entered a photo from his African travels last summer into a competition on CandeNast. The picture is a close-up picture of a lion’s paw. The winner of the competition is the highest rated picture and the winner gets a $20,000 dream trip vacation to anywhere in the world. …
