I’m With The Band

13 Nov

I played the piano throughout middle and high school. I wasn’t awesome, but I did win some superior awards at Guild. Maybe if I had stopped playing contemporary songs by Jodeci, Brian McKnight and Eric Clapton, I could have mastered Mozart and Beethoven. My loss, I guess.

Well, it’s been over 10 years since I’ve played. And I was starting to forget how to read music. What’s an A flat again? So I convinced KC to buy me a kickass fully loaded keyboard with the money he recently won at a Texas Hold ‘Em match.

It’s starting to come back to me. And now with the huge success of inthechair.com, I can play along with an orchestra. No matter what instrument you play, the site lets you practice and get feedback from other musicians. While the photos on the site are freaking lame, the concept is very cool. And best of all, you don’t have to deal with a nagging teacher.

Move over Wonderbra. Wonderjock is the new tease in town.

Aussiebum is nothing like your grandpop’s undies. There’s no paddings, rings and strings. Inspired by the Wonderbra, this innovative design separates and lifts. And the cup protrudes everything out in front, instead of toward the ground. Obviously a lot of men think size really does matter. Over 50,000 pairs have been sold.

Check out Aussiesbum’s new revolution in men’s underwear.

Get ready for in-text placement ads

27 Oct

IntelliTXT is new user-driven technology that provides in-text placement ads. It is completely user initiated and allows you to engage with users on their terms. Advertisers can show text, movie trailers, commercials and even search capabilities.

If I’ve lost you, let me start over.

Imagine you’re reading about the latest episode of Laguna Beach on a gossip blog. Certain words throughout the blog are underlined and appear in green text. You notice the word game is underlined. You’re interested. So you roll over. A small box opens up next to the word with an ad in it. The ad has some text and a video preview of Tomb Raider. It looks like a great Christmas gift. You click on the link and go directly to the advertiser’s site to purchase the game.

To see an example, roll over game preview on their home page.

This technology is new and I have contacted them to see if I can get additional info. So far the only big advertiser using the technology is ask.com. But if you really think about it, IntelliTXT would be great for all of our clients.
