Happy St. Patrick's Day - so sayeth the muppets

Happy St. Patrick's Day y'all. And now from the muppets. Who knew Animal could be so sad.

Two Words - Balls of Fury

OK, technically that is three words. If you count "of". But still, this is a must.

 

Balls Of Fury - Trailer 2

Posted Apr 20, 2007

In this secret society, the competition is brutal; the stakes are high; and the balls--more often than not--are white. Welcome to the unsanctioned, underground, and utterly unhinged world of clandestine Ping-Pong tournaments.

Shoes and 16 Million Views

Shoes. 16 million views of perhaps one of the stupidest music videos I have ever seen. 16 million. Did I mention 16 million?

So, if you are a PR person, what if at the end of an interview your CEO of a quirky brand tilted his head into the camera and said "shoes" in an odd way? Half the folks would think him nuts. The other half would realize he got the joke and think your quirky brand is cool. Weird, but cool. Because they "get it".

 

Justin.tv - Yes Somehow We All Care

Another site that has hit, and passed, the tipping point. Justin.tv. From the site:

Justin wears the camera 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Even in the bathroom. Even on a date.

So there it is. Being on justin.tv is a good thing. And as I type this, he has only been live for 19 days, 16 hours and 17 minutes. This will be big. Go Justin!

 

Going out on top - nicely done ze frank

The Ze Frank show, at least the current version, is no more apparently. This is the final.

Erica O'Grady on Scoble Show

Erica O'Grady interviewed by Scoble at SXSW. And oh ya, Andy Baron of Rocketboom too.

Never Hire a Poet - or you might have to Dooce them

Who knew that poetry was a form of job security? Well maybe not, but at least they are articulate!

For the unitiated, more on Dooce

Speak Your &#*/*$ Mind

Went to refresh last night. Sidebar conversations. A few questions were answered in the most amazingly politically correct manner. Political correctness is lame. It does almost no good in such a venue. 

So this morning I had the link below in my inbox from another anonymous attendee. I needed that.

If You Don’t Have the Balls to be Hated, Then You Don’t Deserve to be Loved

If I didn't know better I would have thought it was written by amanda chapel.

 

Snapvine, a new chicken way to break up and more...

I just discovered snapvine. Pick a message or record one. Type in mobile numbers. It sends the voice mail to all of those folks, online or offline. A new way to break up!

Blatant self promotion warning --> Yea! One of my photos in the flickr set for houstonist was featured as their photo of the day. Thanks Matt. The link to the Houstonist post is here.

The Houston Aquarium is not like other aquariums. It is an event destination with lights, trains, ferris wheels, meeting rooms and of course fish. And sharks. And of a neon train that runs and night. And... well it is just Houston.

And Rocketboom is back.
