Tuesday night, whilst wandering the now sanitized-to-Disney-proportions streets of Times Square in New York City, I was accosted by a dancing toilet.
No, I was not doing anything illicit. There was an actual dancing toilet taking pictures with passersby and inviting me into a building to use one of Charmin’s remarkably clean restrooms opened just [...]

Through the WOMMA Word, I ran across this beauty of an article at BtoB Magazine, entitled “Spoils of social media go to those who wait.” The premise is that companies and “marketers have to think differently about cost, duration and metrics for their social media campaigns.” But I’d like to take it a step further [...]

I think that one of the more surreal experiences is watching the multiple TVs in the gym first thing in the morning. I’m not listening to the sound… I’m listening to some jaunty tunes on my iPod (that’s right… I said ‘jaunty’)… and ESPN, CNN and the local NBC affiliate are all plugging away [...]

How many times have you been a vacation repeater? I’ve never really thought of it that way until my recent trip to Jamaica. My wife and I decided to take a Jamaica vacation as an early Christmas present.

VeeDub: Emoticons exist for a very good reason – people are sensitive. Sometimes, given the chance to read [...]

I’ve had several people email me about my presentation at the WOMMA Summit
in Las Vegas, so I thought it might be fun to share the presentation with
everyone.
First off, I enjoyed presenting with Abi Sideman of Oddcast. Great guy, and
his first question to me was “How does a guy with a southern accent get a
name like [...]

Quick hits for a blustery Wednesday morning:
YouTube sensation (and subject of previous blog post) Tay Zonday has leveraged his Chocolate Rain fame into a deal with Dr. Pepper. and their new specialty (limited time?) beverage “Cherry Chocolate Diet Dr. Pepper”. His new video, Cherry Chocolate Rain is a high production send-up of the [...]

So every now and again, on a Saturday afternoon, I’ll find myself in front of the TV flipping channels when that damn Ironman Kona recap comes on. You know the one. First they follow the race leaders, but after those men and women have finished, they focus on a handful of normal people (or outstanding [...]

Ladies and Gentlemen, we can all stop striving to be the greatest agency in the world: Dell and WPP are going to do it for us. Why? Because they decided to. Never mind that the agency doesn’t have any employees yet (but will have 1,000+ at some point).
