Untitled: chartreuse (b): How To Show BP That... →
Like you I’m really disgusted by BP.
The fact that they are the cause of what the US media is calling “the worst enviromental disaster in the U.S.” needs some type of retribution.
I saw some folks on the television protesting last night on the news.
No offense but that is not enough.
They need to pay.

It’s hard to argue with the browsing experience of an iPad.
At the same time, it’d be nice to post to tumblr without needed to insert tags for formatting.

Circumstances aside, Sheppard died that night because he grabbed onto a vehicle in traffic and the driver chose to step on the pedal instead of pulling over, or calling the police, or hell, staying put. In motorist/cyclist altercations, the former always has the advantage of probably not dying and should behave accordingly.
I agree with the overall point you’re...

Mark(Twain)eting
attentionindustry:
Theory: Mark Twain’s insistence that his autobiography not be published until a century after his death is marketing.
It is arguably the kind of marketing that wins awards.
In that it is creative, original, risky, and executed with a complete disregard for generating a result when it counts.
[Of course, in the situation the idea has been applied, it works perfectly - Twain...

Facebook: calling the identity bluff. →
I'll be in NYC from Thursday May 20th

If you’d like to get in touch, check the about page.
(I’ll be leaving Monday May 24th. So, don’t wait.)
Yeah, my more serious blog has an about page. How’s that for classy?
attention industry: Facebook: calling the identity... →
The interesting thing about the current facebook backlash has nothing to do with privacy, and everything to do with identity. The Zuckerberg quote relating the desire to maintain two (or more) distinct personas to a lack of integrity got me thinking about this.
I love blogging on my phone, from bed.
Sad but true.
The Culling.
I stopped following about 110 people, a few minutes ago. I don’t mean anything by it, I’m just trying to get things down to a manageable level.

Uncomfortable (tumblr-specific?) moment.
I’m pretty sure this is the only place I frequent online where I’ll see someone post 20 items in a row explaining the importance and relevance of feminism, followed by something straight up racist, without indicating any awareness of this dichotomy.
Tumblr is becoming livejournal, which I’ve been worrying about since I got here. Time to trim the follow list.
Wow, haven't done this yet.
Tomorrow will be my weekiversary at my new job at OSL Marketing.
I spend the whole day thinking about digital strategy, and working with the team to develop solutions and new approaches to marketing in the digital space. (That sentence might be messy, but I could talk for a solid 20 minutes about what my role entails, without getting bored or repetitive.)
Obviously, I have a lot of fun doing...
