For the launch of their new blueberry, pomegranate and cranberry smoothies, Del Monte commissioned a poll to determine which British Celebrity British women would “most like to lick” based on looks, charm, confidence and “smoothness”. The results? Daniel Craig/James Bond might just be the first person to have a commemorative icecream treat fashioned after his likeness. Read the rest of this entry »

As much as I love Greg Graffin and his finger-wagging power-chorded visions of dystopian madness, it seems history will disprove his (very catchy) prediction from back in ’96 of a world population of 10 million by the year 2010 Read the rest of this entry »

I mark-up books a lot. The books I’ve most enjoyed over the years have inspired me to print in their margins recording a reaction, a response, or even just the date. Read the rest of this entry »

This morning I attended a free seminar put on by a gracious corporation launching a new product. I enjoyed a rather nice cup of tea, some delicious fruits, a rather dry mini croissant and a few good chuckles.
The seminar was intended to teach marketers how to pitch bloggers with stories and ideas. I couldn’t believe some of the questions being asked. Besides being a rather annoying hour, it served to remind me that some people really don’t use the interweb as much as I assume.
Audience Question: What are the top 3 ways to meet the “online audience”?

They later went on to include blogs, twitter and facebook.

I’m not really sure what to make of Canada’s political crisis. It seems like much ado about nothing. Well, that’s rather glib.
