Here's the much anticipated holiday greeting from my company. I hope you enjoy watching it as much as we enjoyed making it!
It’s alive!
I am proud to announce the launch of the brand new Mozaic web site. I have been working with a team on the concept, design and content of this site for over a year now and it's finally up for your enjoyment. I'd love to hear what you think! Visit http://www.mozaicltd.com and soak it up.
If I could change the world…
If I could change the world... I would be $10 million richer. Today Google announced it's 10^100 project. Basically, they're giving people with ideas that will change the world $10 million to go ahead and change it. Project 10 to the 100th is looking for ideas like the Hippo Water Roller or maybe even the PFNC Global Communities project. Read more about 10^100 on cnn.com.
To the beat of a different drummer
One of my former high school band mates is a drummer for a street percussion group called The Cadence. Comprised of a bunch of Missouri State University percussionists, the guys have made it all the way to the Top 20 of America's Got Talent. They're performing TONIGHT at 7pm CST on NBC. You should check them out. The grand prize is a headlining show in Las Vegas. So if you love them (which I know you will), please vote for them!
Help Steve win $10,000
Please take a second to watch this (hilarious) video from my friend Steve Luther. Steve is a finalist in a contest to win a $10,000 scholarship for law school. Not only does Steve star in the short film, my friends Kate Finneran, Rich Finneran and Ed Bolton also deliver outstanding performances. If you like what you see, please visit http://errgh.com/HelpSteve/Vote to vote for Steve. You can vote once per e-mail address per day. Thanks for your support!
I’m so excited and I just can’t hide it
I just received awesome news from one of my friends from college. As part of a group project my senior year, I worked with a team to create an integrated communication campaign for the League of Women Voters St. Louis chapter. The organization has a rich and active history, but has been struggling to recruit new members. As part of our proposed campaign, we suggested tying in a special event as a throw-back to the 1916 Walkless, Talkless Parade. Today I got word that the organization is going to have a reenactment on Saturday, September 6th! The event is in conjunction with the Kids Voting program. I can't tell you how excited I am to hear that the LWV is breathing new life into their organization and teaching kids about the importance of voting.
And now a word from the Peanut Gallery
Growing up, I never had a peanut butter and jelly sandwich. No Reese's Pieces. No peanut butter Girl Scout cookies. Deprived? Not really. My mom is terribly allergic to peanuts. While I have a sensitivity to them (attributed mostly to apprehension and the fact that I've never developed a taste for them), if my mom is exposed to peanuts in any form (did you know that some SOAP has peanut oil in it?), she swells up. Without a shot, her throat can swell shut and she'll stop breathing. Last night, the St. Louis Cardinal's hosted a Peanut-Free section at Busch Stadium. This section allowed fans (especially families with allergic children) to watch the baseball game without worrying about a reaction. The only bummer is that there are no other peanut-free games scheduled, yet.
2X Ultra Cool
I went to stock up on some laundry detergent a week ago and could not find my usual brand/bottle, much to my dismay. Before leaving the aisle with a second choice, I noticed a smaller version of my usual brand on the bottom shelf. I picked it up and saw the words "New 2X Ultra Tide." Those (smart) people at Tide decided to come out with a concentrated version of laundry detergent that saves plastic, water and space. Okay, so maybe I'm being a bit over zealous when it comes to laundry detergent. But seriously! How many other consumer goods products could eliminate excess from their products and generate excitement about new ways to improve standard products?
Fly Derrie-Air
I am a big fan of funny. And the The Inquirer, Daily News and philly.com did a phenomenal job of making me laugh. Visit http://flyderrie-air.com/ to find out more about how the ad department at these Philly newspapers fooled readers and proved to advertisers that compelling print ads get attention and drive traffic to the web!
I can see clearly now…
Give the Gift of Sight is an organization that donates eyeglasses to people in developing countries as well as the underprivileged in North America. Visit http://www.givethegiftofsight.org/youcanhelp/ to learn more about how you can recycle your old frames or make a donation.
