Leaping Lumberjacks

Some of the guys and myself ventured up to Stacy, MN today in blizzard conditions to chop down a couple of Christmas Trees. This is our second annual trip and we were happy to see the petting zoo make a return appearance this year, along with Santa!
Stuart wouldn’t come out of the car for [...]

London

I’m in London. 29 and I’ve finally ventured beyond North America. I’m traveling with my friend, Fabian, who knows the city rather well – which has proven quite useful.
In two days we’ve been to see Saunders and French at the Drury St Theatre for their farewell show. In fact, we saw it the night [...]

My Own Private Word Cloud

Courtesy wordle.net, I gave it my blog URL and it created this word cloud. Very insightful. Make your own.

Six MCAD students crammed into a booth meant for four. Five girls and one guy – clearly a homo.
Girl is sitting at a table by herself in front of the opened french doors to 25th St. She has perfect posture and is holding her hands in a position around her coffee – one in front [...]

I saw the midnight showing of The Dark Night on Friday morning at Block E in Minneapolis. They were showing it on at least three screens – and this theatre isn’t usually all that crowded. Young guys jumped at the opportunity to wear makeup, coming out in full Joker-drag. I saw at least twenty [...]

After seeing Joseph Jaffe record himself on his fancy Flip, I had to have one. It was last month at an event organized by Tim Brunelle for his Future of Advertising class at MCAD.
I put this together today after fighting with iMovie trying to figure out how to make the playback speed faster [...]

I saw a facebook ad for this strange looking Nike product called the SportBand. Am I the only one who thinks this looks like one of those electric dog collars? I have images of people being forced to run farther and faster, trying to rip this thing off their neck as if it were [...]

4X4

I was tagged by my friend Tim Brunelle, to post this meme. It’s been a while and this one looked fun, so I’ve obliged. Others in this storm include Matt Dickman, Valeria Maltoni, and Ann Handley.
4 PLACES I’VE BEEN

In the shower of the Presidential Suite at The Venetian Hotel in Las Vegas. Just don’t [...]
