Oscar Nominees Montage

I watch the Oscars last night and I was mildly amused by the the opening montage of nominee snippets. I can’t objectively say that my amusement wasn’t caused by the realization that it was very similar to the “Get a Mac” ads from a few years ago.
As I said, it’s an observation, not a complaint. As my last entry on The Art of the Mashup explains, no one exists in a vacuum – everyone is influenced by someone.
I’m sure the Get a Mac ads were inspired by something else as well.

Man, UFC rocks. I wish I could find a clip of this fight.

Why I’m In A Good Mood

I’m in a good mood today for a number of reasons:

  • A check cleared from one of my new clients
  • I moved out of Miami and am back in New York
  • My wife and I are going out drinking tonight with friends in the East Village
  • I dig my new job at Deep Focus
  • NECKFACE has his own Wikipedia entry
  • A check cleared from one of my new clients

Did I mention I have money to go out drinking tonight?
