Technically Speaking

Probably because they didn’t put the two commercial actors in a Colts and Saints jersey! Right? Right??? Please tell me this is 2010 and not 1910.

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!

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!

I just finally offloaded some pics I had sitting around on my iPhone. This one below I posted on my tumblr blog just a few moments ago. Yes, this is for real, taken while stopped at a light!

Here are a few pictures I took via the iPhone at Mayhem Festival 2009:

And another one – God Forbid prior to them taking the stage:

Here is one of Seasons After – this year’s Jagermeister band, really good band – the festival surprise for sure:

Lastly, I went to this River City Rage indoor football game back on June 20th as a last minute thing to do one Saturday. I totally loved it! I’m more about football any day of the week than any other sport.

Now they are in the playoff’s and they get a home 2nd round playoff game this weekend – tomorrow night. I already have my tickets for that. Here a couple of pics I took last month.

Oh and it appears there is some Michael Jackson tribute show at half time by someone named Scorpio. Interesting. Hey, it’s the IFL and it’s the playoff’s!

SPECIAL HALF TIME SHOW BY
MICHAEL JACKSON

UNDERSTUDY/IMPERSONATOR
SCORPIO

FROM LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA

The multi-talented Mr. Spicer, aka Scorpio began

to sing at the young age of 5 years old.

When Scorpio came to California he joined the longest running

black dance show, THE SOUL TRAIN. He was one of the

top soul train dancers/performers.

He began to choreograph and help with video performance

for such artists as New Addition, B2K, etc.

In 1993 Scorpio performed on the XXV Super Bowl half time

show with none other than the king of pop himself,

If you are looking for something different and fun to do tomorrow night (Saturday 7/25/09) and you are near the Family Arena, you should drop in on a very cool way to play football.

Technically Speaking, that’s it for now.

Technically Speaking, how hard is it for you to go green to show your support for the people of Iran that actually got off their asses when their system failed them?

It’s that time of the year here in the #STL that usually wouldn’t be a problem, but this year due to some unforeseen circumstances, didn’t hire a yard crew. Now that spring is fully here, and some other unforeseen events, looks like it will only be for a short time anyways.

As many of you have read, I took the job out in Los Angeles with ShopitMedia as their Director of Publisher Management as announced here.

Some of you may be scratching their heads as you may have also seen this earlier post on RWW about another position I recently took with Bit.ly in a consulting role as their Community Manager.

No confusion. The Bit.ly gig was only a part time opportunity which I’m still doing at least for the current time being. The ShopitMedia gig is full time. Also, note that Shopit is the main company. Lot’s of interesting stuff they offer, so you may want to check that out if you aren’t looking for traditional banner advertising.

And what about the siliconANGLE blog? Oh yeah, I’m still doing that also! Just not as much as I use too, but I contributed an article there this week. I also participated in several different threads over there, as that is what we want to see – other people’s angles via the commenting! Also – We still need more regular contributors to sign up! We already have had many new names show up in the past week, but we can always use other angles!

Technically Speaking, you have been updated, and now some yard work awaits me!

While I had a very successful trip to Los Angeles, of course I am a bit behind and just finally getting around to catching up on my RSS feeds. I found this video below that is just a pure LOL / ROFL video. Great way to break up a rather busy morning. Of course, found where else? On the blog that never sleeps!

Technically Speaking, the trip to LA did in fact land me a new full time gig as – Director of Publisher Management at Shopit.com.

Literally in seconds after I posted that below post, @jamievaron was paying attention. She just showed and proved to me that she deserves the J-O-B @twitter. In fact, if I had influence over @ev and @biz, my advice would be to snap her up before someone else grabs her. Talent like this will get away really fast.

Technically Speaking, what do I know or what does it matter if I throw out an endorsement or not? – I’m just a former co-founder and publisher relations person from a small startup who is also looking for work.

Woo hoo! The lovely FAIL whale is back! I just received this moments ago on twitter. Must be a busy morning of tweeters out there. With members of congress on board, such as Missouri’s own Claire McCaskill (an active tweeter!), as well as the mayor of San Francisco – twitter isn’t the quiet new kid on the block any longer. Also nice to know that Claire actually does her own tweeting!

Technically Speaking, the whale is cool, the owl creeps me out! btw, be sure to check out my latest siliconANGLE post – I think that needs a good comment thread started!

Good to see there are cool things going on in the other end of the state – Kansas City to be exact. Bruce Branit took two years to create this amazing 10 minute experience. Bruce Branit is the owner of Branit VFX and based in Kansas City. You should check it out:
