Creative marketing, butt...



This new spot was released to promote these new ultra slim notebooks. It seems like a home movie, but make no doubt about it, these were created as part of the company's marketing campaign. It's an usual spot, but I think it's actually really smart marketing. This video is popping up all over the blogosphere and has people talking. It was added only yesterday and already has over 200,000 views! I'd say it's approaching viral smash territory. And if this gets even just a fraction of the viewers to question what type of computer they're throwing and look into it, then it's a success.

What do you guys think of the ad? Too weird? Or just weird enough to start the buzz?

You could be a jetsetter!


At least, for one month. Jet Blue just introduced this deal for September 8 - October 8, where if you buy their All - You - Can - Jet Deal and fly anywhere in the US, from anywhere in the US, as much as you want between these dates. Let me tell you, if I wasn't employed and digging my job, I'd snap one of these up in a heartbeat! You can see pretty much all of America with this baby. For more information, check out the site at Jet Blue.

"Spaced" case

I just finished watching "Spaced" on hulu. It's this hilarious show that ran in England in 1999. It stars Simon Pegg and Nick Frost - the dynamic duo behind Shaun of the Dead and Hot Fuzz. I blazed through the entire series in a matter of days, since there's only 14 episodes. They're all on hulu, so if you have the time, you should check it out! I've embedded the pilot below, to make it even easier for you guys to get hooked.


(I first heard about the show, thanks to @jamesgrosch)

Hell Hath No Fury...



I don't know who I feel worse for - the girlfriend who now has the whole internet worried about her sanity when it comes to boyfriends, or the boyfriend who had to deal with the whole thing. We've all sent emails/texts we regret, but not all of us have had a video compilation made of all of them. Just something to keep in mind before sending out those drunk text messages or angry emails.

Social Media Cuteness

I love me some geeky crafts. The latest one I found on Mashable and it is so cute! Check out these pillows from @craftsquatch:


They have pillows for all the major social media sites: Flickr, FriendFeed, Facebook, Twitter, and Myspace. You can get your favorite platform to brighten your living room! I think these are so cute, and the material looks really soft and comfortable.

My personal favorite is the Twitter Fail Whale:
Which social media pillow would you get?
