Um, is this a joke? Amazingly Gross Carmex Ad Campaign

It seems that CARMEX® is either the recipient of a jokester advertising agency or they are truly a progressive bunch, regardless, their new ad campaign “Share the Tingle Video Contest” has me floored. UPDATE: for clarifications, I want to point out that I’m floored because nobody thought about how bad/gross that sounds, not that I [...]

Couldn’t say it better myself

I’ve always been pretty outspoken about the fact that I think DRM is from the devil, so when I saw a Prius with this license plate, I had to take a picture. It was outside of my favorite coffee joint Albina Press, and I was able to ask the owner of the car if this [...]

MobileMe apologizes and handles things well.

Apple clearly does things its own way, and almost never apologizes for tearing up a market and changing the rules of the game, which I appreciate. However, when a promise falls short, and they fail to deliver that special “Apple Brand” to their customers, I’m glad to see they are direct, responsive, and apologize openly. [...]

Trying out WordPress 2.6

I just updated to Wordpress 2.6, and thought I’d try out their new Quick Blog bookmarklet “Press This.” It’s kind of meta to blog about a blogging bookmarklet while using the bookmarklet… Kind of.

Update: Either I’m doing something wrong, or it doesn’t seem to work that well yet.

Some beautiful illustrations and animations over a 40 year old interview with John Lennon.

You really have to watch this. It’s beautiful on a lot of levels, and for a lot of reasons. Yeah, I’m a hippy inside. Somewhere. I just have never met that person.

Found at Punch Graphic Design’s blog.

Serious problem with Trial Software - and the Apple mistake

I recently tried out OmniFocus, Omni Group’s ‘Getting Things Done’ application. I actually liked it, a lot, yet decided not to buy it due to it’s combined price of $79.95 for the desktop version plus $19.99 price for the iPhone companion application. In the end, it was a good product, but seemed pricey considering the [...]

MobileMe out and pretty astounding

www.tuaw.com has a 23-image walkthrough of the new service, and I have to say, the one thing that stood out was how unimpressed I was. I was looking at the pictures thinking to myself, “Yeah, so what. That looks like the applications I use.” Then I remember: THIS IS A WEBSITE!
Going through the images, I [...]

Quick video summary of our Whistler trip.

Just a few quick shots of what we were riding. Not that impressive, but lots of fun.

Glaspeys and Meldahls go to Whistler from Jason Glaspey on Vimeo.
And I realized later that I said “I’m glad I had armor on.” Meaning, the pads probably saved my life… You should see my bruises…

What in the hell is wrong with this world?

I don’t think there’s anything I can say that improves upon this leprechaun search.

Short conversation between me and my wife

Holly: “Alright, enough vacations. We need to start investing in assets.”
Me: “Memories are assets, Holly.”
Holly (sarcastically): “OOOOH, that’s good. You should write that down.”
So I did.
