Originally seen here and on this very cool new user submits the story site called iSpotAStory out of NYC (met the brains behind this site when I lived there, glad to see she is really pushing it hard these days!).

CBS rejects ManCrunch.com Superbowl ad.

Technically Speaking, I thought this was America 2010, apparently hate, discrimination, and homophobia all run wild no matter what the news media tells you, even $2.6 million isn’t going to make this commercial air on Super Bowl Sunday!

If it is so worthless, how did the Red Cross become tangled up with such a worthless communication tool? Guess that $10 million isn’t worth anything either in helping victims of this terrible disaster in Haiti? Worthless, flash in the pan, won’t last next year.

Those are direct quotes said to me. While it might be totally worthless to send out your 140 character or less tweet, it appears that those that can think outside the box and utilize it as the tool it can be is making it a difference maker. Who would have thought that something that is nothing more than another communication tool would be the one to rally people around a disaster?

Technically Speaking, those that dismiss technological advancements are the ones resigned to working the jobs that we all hate to say is a job at all.

Now one of the so called “rules” – or as I like to say – “it’s my ball, and I’ll take it home whenever I damn well please rules” was you can’t pull user info into a banner ad. Like the ones that were quite annoying, but intriguing nevertheless. The ones that said “Your friend Todd Sawicki is now playing Vampires R Us, you should too!” – those ads. Yes, while rather annoying, they made publishers and advertisers a ton of money.

Well a few minutes ago I logged onto my Facebook account. At the top I saw the below banner.

Facebook banned ad networks from running these type of ads, but now they basically steal the idea and put it into play for their own use – what is more annoying – stealing a great idea or first saying it’s illegal and then stealing it and using it for your own use?!

Technically Speaking, if you trust Facebook to do anything but make a ton of money, you really should look a little deeper at what they do. What they do is all for the benefit of Facebook only. Like any good enterprise company should do I suppose. Just drop the act, no one is buying it. You are not a startup. You are full on corporate American greed at it’s finest. Just re-tooled for the internet and 21st century.

If you are too shy to leave a comment, ping me with @ via twitter or something!

Technically Speaking, I’m back from NYC and the short lived cubicle life, back in the STL for the holidays, and picking up new work for my 2010 dance card.

One last thing I want to share with those that have given me the crazy eye about my definition of a nice lawn – not so crazy am I?

Little Wonders by Rob Thomas

Ate this for lunch on Saturday…

On a walk around the neighborhood I live in on Saturday night…

Technically Speaking, I now live in NYC, and this was the first week.

New York, New York, is everything they say
And no place that I’d rather be
Where else can you do a half a million things
All at a quarter to three

The above quoted lines comes from the old Huey Lewis song “The Heart of Rock and Roll“. The past few months have been quite interesting, and while I was actually wondering about how I went from possibly being in LA to not being in LA, to maybe out of a job again, somehow it ended up that it won’t be LA but it will rather be NYC. For those keeping score, Adquotient who is owned by Atrinsic (NASDAQ:ATRN) is where I’ll be.

This all came up rather suddenly for myself as well as the other remaining team member who is currently in LA after our team members in Australia decided to stay down under. We both will be arriving next week Sunday (10/4/09) in NYC and kicking it at the 7th Ave office on Monday morning 10/5/09. We have both had about < 10 days to get ready for this, so we are totally stressed and making the best of a quick cross country moving event. Needless to say, it’s pretty much the clothes on our back for the moment.

Technically Speaking, if you have any questions or a sublet/rental opportunity to send my way, ping me on any of the available channels you have me on!
