I’m not dead, How to kill a fly and don’t forget to Stumble.
I haven’t walked off the face of the earth, I have just been busy and not busy (learning how to relax) lately. While coming home yesterday from a relaxing “not busy” trip my car died 40 minutes away from returning to Columbia which is a whopper of a problem since I was about to sell it before moving.
Hopefully it ain’t no thang.
I am far too scatterbrained to write a narrative about the current events in my life (and probably won’t until I get a job and new location to call home).
But, I will leave you with yet another random news blip I found interesting.
Flies can be successfully swatted with a little….strategy.
Oh yeah…and how could I forget?!
I was introduced to the best Firefox plug in ever a day ago called Stumble Upon. You need this in your life now. What it does (from what I inferred) is takes you to a totally different webpage each time you click the button “Stumble!” based on where you surf and your established interests. So far it has not let me down.
Check it out.

Interesting look into Facebook’s evolving platform, widgets, apps and the 300k+ developers for them, Sheryl Sandburg and so on. Good stuff.

Change is good and much needed.

Graduation
I am done with school forever!
Still nomadic, so blogging has taken a backseat to looking for jobs…
So if anyone knows any jobs in NYC or other cities in marketing, sales, or advertising…please let me know, I have a few options but I am always looking for more options!
You can check me out on Linked In if you do know of anything as well!
Hope all is well everyone and wish me luck!

No Camera, No Problem.
Radiohead’s new music vid for “House of Cards” does not use any cameras at all in the filming but instead uses structured light and laser scanners to produce an image!
Check out the music video here.
Check out the commentary on the technology and concept for the video here.
A really good song whether you like the video or not, so enjoy.

Woe is Me and Delta is a Joke
Current tally of random Delta transactions via my checking account:
About 2500 dollars.
This is getting a little crazy now since Delta has NO WAY to tell me who this flyer is, where they are going, where the ticket was purchased or ANYTHING.
Even though I can give them to reference: The card number, my name, my location, ANYTHING pertaining to me and my card…they still cannot access ticket information.
Is this not the most idiotic thing you have ever heard in your life?
So where as a few hundred dollars sucked and ruined my Friday, now I have thousands and since the amount is so big it must be “investigated” by my bank….which means no money/no card til Monday at least when I can talk to my investigator. Joy.
(Deep breaths)
I’m pissed. Big time.
Delta, you suck by the way.

Swingtown Really Isn’t the Ideal Town
About a month ago I wrote about the CBS show “Swingtown” and the controversy of it being on network TV during primetime and how it might pose a threat to advertising.
Well it turns out the show is facing a little advertising trouble.
Why?
Well, advertisers are not choosing to advertise on the show for their own reasons…some disclosed, some undisclosed. But the general consensus appears to be that company’s do not align with the message/lifestyle/whatever of the show.
So what will happen?
The show is doing well in it’s primetime slot for the most part right now, but a lack of advertising support might force the show into a slump. We’ll just have to see.
