I probably love this commercial more then anyone else. If you work in tech, things that get you and your colleagues excited are typically things that any normal non tech dork would not give 2 cents about. Intel, in the uber nerdy semiconductor space, embraces the lack of awareness of their excellence as a company […]

I love blogging, but the current state of affairs keeps me from doing as much as I want. In addition to blogging here and on writing on Bucknuts, I am now doing a blog on Bloguin’s corporate home page. Here is the link to my initial effort (you get to see a funny College Humor […]

The NBA playoffs have been pretty entertaining thus far with a lot of unexpected drama as we march to the Finals. Also entertaining, has been the great satire of the NBA marketing/PR machine that loves to beat its chest. Below are 2 examples. I’ll probably have to replace the SNL one with a Hulu clip […]

Holy lord. The mother of all commercials. If you are a guy in your 20’s and haven’t played Punchout on Nintendo, I have some serious questions about your upbringing. Fast forward 20 years later and I am guessing unless you are finishing up college, you yearn for a simpler time when PunchOut, sleepovers, trading baseball […]

Imagine going to your website and finding that it was down. Not just your website, but your business’ website. What do you do? The hosting company’s website is actually down too. What’s going on? Is it your computer? Your Internet connection? Are other people’s sites down? Tell me what other service compiles information in real […]

I think many of us have seen the funny videos from Jib Jab, the original one being “This Land“, chronicling the 2004 presidential campaign. Last election Jib Jab scored again with “It’s Time for some Campaigning”, shown below. But of late, Jib Jab’s focus has been in their Starring You videos in which you insert […]

A couple days back I put up a promo video that I was fond of from Gawker Media which proclaims blogs as “the future”. However of late its been clear that if blogs really are the future, then unfortunately newspapers and magazines are “the past.” With dozens of high profile magazine closing down in this […]

In the past I have tipped my hat to Gawker media for their ability to sell blogs to premium advertisers. I think in general Gawker does an amazing job at not only understanding content, but also advertisers needs as they seem to have a high fill rate of premium campaigns and a lot of repeat […]

I know the guys at Bleacher Report pretty well and was honored that they spilled the beans a little early on the big announcement of their CBS NFL correspondent initiative. Below is a screenshot of the landing page for the new program which officially launches tomorrow. From the official release: “CBSSports.com and Bleacher Report will […]

I recently polled the great bloggers of Bloguin about their receptiveness to having some content sponsored. The example I gave was what if Yahoo Fantasy Sports sponsored a blog (meaning they would have their advertising or branding in or around the post) on the worst fantasy pick you have ever made. Yahoo wouldn’t have to […]

Commercial of the week segment is basically on life support. I don’t watch that much tv anymore and have been extra pro active in flipping the channels, hence I don’t really see commercials anymore. However here is one that caught my eye promoting Andy Sandberg hosting the 2009 MTV Movie awards. No, I won’t watch […]

A friend of the Pantless Knights who I used to work with turned me on to them awhile back and I have been checking out their awesome videos ever since. Today they released a new video, a satire of “Jizz In My Pants” from SNL fame. Have to say this is some of their finest […]

Lots of interesting goings ons in the world of online sports last couple of days. I think the most intriguing news of the day is that Chris Mottram of The Sporting Blog, will be heading to SB Nation as Senior Editor. “My main focus will be working on the homepage as the editor of SBnation.com. […]

Been out of pocket recently with some friends visiting from Ohio. People from Ohio love it out here in California. This video below articulates where some of their enthusiasm for travel stems from.
