Summer is for reading

Hope Summer is treating everyone well. Mr. Hero and I are having a killer summer so far. Every once in a while, it’s worth interrupting summer to post something. This time — It’s for Amazon coming out with their new Kindle.  Finally, I think they’ve really ‘got’ it and I’m going to want to pull the [ READ MORE ]

iphone 4

Now that it’s the summer it seems that your friends at SOTB have had a lackadaisical approach lately with keeping up with posts. Sorry about that. So the iphone 4? Yes that’s a question because as an iphone 3GS owner I just don’t care.  What I mean is, the iphone 4 doesn’t move the needle in [ READ MORE ]

Star Wars + Adidas + World Cup = Awesome

This is an awesome cross pollinated video that is just killer. (While I’m sure it’s the Star Wars Adidas line that makes it possible in the first place, it actually seems slightly cooler). The passion and insanity that the World Cup brings to everything is unparalleled. It’s going to be an awesome month, with lots of things [ READ MORE ]

Cellphones and toilets

Mr.Pink just brought to my attention an article in the NYT about Cellphones and toilets in India. It turns out there are more cellphones than toilets.  If you’ve even been to India (I’ve had to launch a product in India and was there for a couple of months) you wouldn’t be surprised at this article [ READ MORE ]

Simply specatcular

This is awesome. It’s in a language I don’t understand, but is a gentle reminder — do the unexpected — and great things happen. (Watch the driver almost tear up right near the end). Happy Friday. [ READ MORE ]

You just never know what the customer wants

Found myself down in the Financial district, walking past the Bull earlier in the week. Given it’s location, on a sliver of bricks between two lanes of traffic, it’s amazing that it is a tourist destination (even though I think it’s wicked cool). There was the standard gaggle of tourists, who appeared to be a mix [ READ MORE ]

iPad out in the Wild

Saw my 1st iPad out in the wild today, actually at the gym and I was surprised. Surprised by who this person was and why they bought it.  Since it was the first ‘normal’ person I’d seen with one, of course I had to ask, and of course they were excited to talk about it. I [ READ MORE ]

Perfect timing, Starbucks is giving it a try

Yesterday, I was talking about the re-usable cup at coffee shops, and wouldn’t you know it – -Starbucks was giving it a go at all of their shops today. (actually after I thought about it for a while, I think they were promoting this on Facebook for the week’s prior, but I didn’t remember). In an [ READ MORE ]

Never going to be a ‘me too’ site

We’re never going to be a ‘me too’ type of site, with up to the second,witty commentary about every breaking news story, but this ‘Star Wars Uncut’ video is amazing. It shows you just how damn creative the masses can be when given a simple framework and instruction. Star Wars Uncut “The Escape” from Casey Pugh on [ READ MORE ]

Will it blend – Ipad

Not sure about Mister Zero, but I’m not totally psyched about the Ipad (I would tell you why but who cares). What is totally awesome is the “Will it Blend” video from Blendtec demolishing an Ipad.  This is some of the best viral marketing ever.  They just throw all sorts of stuff into these high-power [ READ MORE ]
