Beware Celebrity Endorsement a Tom Hanks film
by: Sarah

Beware celebrity endorsement is right, just because Tom Hanks spoke fancy words doesn’t mean you have to follow his lead. But oddly enough his little moment will help many people decide who to vote for.  Obama has other celebrities backing him up: Oprah Winfrey, Bruce Springsteen and Jessica Alba.

Seattle news report with tons of insight in the technology of the near future
by: Sarah

Wow, that is quite the video there. This reports on Chrysler’s offer to cap gas prices, which have skyrocketed to a whopping $3.63 in my area recently, to $2.99 a gallon. Of course they have their stipulations, but who doesn’t.

Microsoft has signed a world wide deal with Kia and Hyundai so their customers will have the ability to use voice commands to control a number of different features with the use of their in-car software. For already is in the contract with Microsoft, but theirs will expire in November.

T-mobile has already launched their 3G network in New York, but now they have announced that Seattle is the next lucky city to get their 4x faster download speed. The new network launch will take place this fall, so get ready you Seattleites.

I don’t know many Zune people, but there are some out there, and this should excite them. Microsoft Zune fans will soon have the ability to download popular t.v. shows directly to their Zune!! At $1.99 each you can get shows like South Park, Battle Star Galactica, Heroes and my favorite The Office.

Webby Awards took place and guess who are the winners! That is correct, buzz travels fast, but Colbert is the Webby Person of the Year for connecting to his fans using the Internet. Will.I.Am of the Black Eyed Peas won Webby Artist of the Year for his music video supporting Barack Obama. A few others are

The Church of Insanity, online confessionals at its craziest
by: Sarah

The Church of Why Do Men Have Nipples?

Wow, I never thought I would read something so asinine, so disgusting and unappealing as the website I ran across today.

I was on CNN and stumbled on a article titled, Forgive us father, we’d rather go online. At first I was intrigued to think about how these people are using the Internet for a better resource than for just news and porn. But after visiting the site and reading some [a lot] of the confessions I grew more and more disgusted.

Not all were bad, but a lot of people were confessing their sins for having premarital sex, watching porn, masturbation, cheating, lying, ect. But when I got to this one in particular, my first thought was, “this person is nuts.”

Oh boy, here comes the crazy:

I screwed up my relationship with God. I love God, but I use to put my ex- above Him. I would get so excited to see this person, I would get butterflies everytime before we would meet, even after years of knowing this person. I loved that person so much, giving them everything I had; my time, my resources, my effort…but in the end, it wasn\’t enough. That person left me. Not the first time either thy has left me. God is a jealous God. He will take things away that hinders our relationship with Him. Since then, my only priority is Him. I worship Him, I pray several times a day, I constantly talk about Him, I serve numerous ministries, I truly love Him with my all; mind, heart, and soul; intentions, money/people, and talent. God longs to be longed, and He seeks to be sought. Never will I make the mistake again of placing something made of flesh over Him. I love that person still, and miss them dearly, but I will stay in faith that God has His divine ways of doing things. I give that person over to God. Sometimes God takes things away, in order to give us more. I will try to let God do the steering, for I know He will take care of me if an accident occurs. If I drive, I am the only one liable if an accident happens. I love you, Jesus, who will now be my 1st love hence forth.

Now, after reading that, how many of you agree with that person? How many of you are thinking that individual is completely insane?

This is the real world folks. You can’t depend on an imaginary friend to hold your hand through everything in life. The Bible is just a book, you don’t see people out there in The Church of now do you?

I’m getting bored of Facebook
by: Sarah

I completely understand this song. It’s like we are on the same wavelength, maybe the same Facebook group? But seriously, who doesn’t hate logging in their Facebook only to see the 300 new application requests, or the crap-ton of pokes. Maybe I really am popular! haha no seriously, quit poking me it is getting creepy.

I am officially getting bored of Facebook, where is the next new social networking site? Who doesn’t miss the good old days when Facebook was strictly for those in college, where it required a college email before you could even dream of logging in.

Juicy Campus is the forum for juicy college gossip
by: Sarah

Update 3/17/08: Here is another hit on CNN for the Juicy Campus news. For those of you who haven’t been featured on the college gossip website, then read what this girl has to say. She told the reporter that, “when she read the posts, she felt like she had been kicked in the stomach”

I read an article on CNN this morning about a college website for students. Unlike Black Board, the site used for scholar purposes, JuicyCampus.com was used to continue the ‘playground drama’ most experience in high school.

The website was basically an anonymous forum where people would post juicy gossip about one another for the world to see. Some, heck even most threads were viewed several hundred to thousands of times.

JuicyCampus’ endless threads of anonymous innuendo have been a popular Web destination on the seven college campuses where the site launched last fall, including Duke, UCLA and Loyola Marymount. It recently expanded to 50 more, and many of the postings show they’ve been viewed hundreds and even thousands of times.

Most of the time students will be all for freedom of speech, but it can be a little disturbing to see your life behind closed doors posted on the Internet.

The Cornell University junior was in his dorm between classes when the text message came in from a friend. Check out JuicyCampus.com, it said.

The student found his name on the Web site beside a rambling, filthy passage about his sexual exploits, posted by an anonymous student on campus. The young man could only hope the commentary was so ridiculous nobody would believe it.

“I thought, `Is this going to affect my job employment? Is this going to make people on campus look at me? Are people going to talk about me behind my back?” said the student, who asked not to be identified. He also wondered about his 11-year-old sister, who is spending more time on the Internet. “What if she Googles me? What will she think about her big brother?” he said.

Matt Ivester, The founder of the juicy gossip site, had said “College students are clever and fun-loving, and we wanted to create a place where they could share their stories.” Well, that sounds all fine and dandy, but with anything on the Internet it should be monitored by admins.

Click here to read more on this, it is rather interesting.

Bud Light Talking Dog - "Sausages! Sausages!… Sausage!" on AdChops
by: DS

imageI have seen this spot during the games leading up to the final super bowl selection but didn’t have it captured.

Adchops beats us to it with a classy-as-usual write up. Check it out over there.

As for the commercial, it’s a good one from Bud Light. I’m not usually over impressed with beer commercials but this one is pretty funny.

Here is a link to a Bud Light “mega post” we did last Super Bowl, all pretty good. I hope this year will be better:

Suns Virtual Locker Room
by: DS

We posted a kick ass commercial a couple week back about Steve Nash and The NBA “Where Amazing Happens” now we have something new that just launched from the Suns that could end up being very cool, The Suns Virtual Locker Room.

image

It’s not a lot different than many other “green screen” flash driven interactive time wasters but this one looks like it will go pretty deep and have some funny stuff in it for Suns fans and anyone that likes to dig around.
