One of the most popular search terms for people showing up at my blog used to be the Cookie Monster - because I posted a pic of the good ol' C.M. in an old post and Google Images kept directing people here to check it out. Since that traffic has slowed down, I guess I … Continue reading Me and the Monster

When life hands you lemons…
Make Lemonade. Do yourself a favor and take 35 minutes to watch this documentary called Lemonade that chronicles the big things that former ad agency employees were able to do once they were given the gift of losing their job. During this recession, I have watched fellow colleagues get the pink slip. I have watched … Continue reading When life hands you lemons…
Books IN Cameroon
In October, I wrote a post about Books for Cameroon. My college friend, Wendy, was putting together a monumental Peace Corps project to bring 22,000 books to more than 28 libraries across the West African country of Cameroon. She was just a few thousand dollars short of the funds needed to pay for a shipping … Continue reading Books IN Cameroon
OK Go, you make me smile
It seems that every time a new OK Go music video comes out, I fall in love all over again. It reminds me of that Mouse Trap board game. Except way cooler.

Friday Funday
Just wanted to a take a quick minute to wish everyone a happy Friday and a fun-filled weekend. Here's a video from a Volkswagen campaign. They took an ordinary subway staircase and transformed it into a piano. Might not have *much* to do with driving a VW, but it is about brand awareness. They try … Continue reading Friday Funday
