via Awaken Your Superhero with Christopher S. Penn by Christopher S. Penn on February 20, 2008
I’d been hearing a lot of buzz about this little machine ever since Podshow’s sponsorship of it with a few prominent podcasters I listen to, like CC Chapman and Julien Smith. Yesterday I got to play with one of the boxes, courtesy of Peta Andersen, and I think one of these is in my future soon.Why?Take a look at this picture.

via Awaken Your Superhero with Christopher S. Penn by Christopher S. Penn on February 19, 2008
I’m pleased to see the ever continuing evolution of PodCamp as a community gathering. It’s amazing to see how people adapt PodCamp to fit what’s appropriate in their communities and local cultures, and I hope we continue to see new innovations. I wanted to clarify something that occurred to me on the drive into the office this morning:Keynote speakers are a violation of the PodCamp...

The Original Xbox Logo Was Blue (No Surprise) [Microsoft]
via Kotaku by Mark Wilson on February 14, 2008
When most of us think "Xbox," we think green, or, "sickly green" as it was recently described to me by Microsoft's marketing team from Wunderman. And it's an important point, since green has been the unifying theme between Xbox and Xbox 360...as well as between Xbox and Halo, where we see the color shared by the box's "X" and Master Chief himself. But green wasn't always intended...

The greatest hoax ever played on the Internet is the idea that Google's growth was somehow "natural" or "viral", and that the strength of their search results alone is what propelled them to their insane 70% market share. I've even seen videos of Googlers listening to speakers come in and tell them this myth, and I'm sure many of today's current employees think it's the...

Escalator Ads Are the Most Awkward Way to Advertise [Badvertising]
via Gizmodo by Adam Frucci on February 14, 2008
Here's a creepy way to advertise a hair salon: stick the lower half of some guys face at the bottom of an escalator, and place various hairstyles on the stairs. As the escalator moves, said guy gets a new haircut with every stair that passes by. Creative? Yes, definitely. Unsettling? Oh hell yes. It's at a mall in Mumbai, so it's not like I'm going to be forced to see it anytime...
