So, I guess the talk of the town (on the internets anyway) are the (so far) two new Microsoft ads starring Bill Gates and Jerry Seinfeld.
Microsoft has gotten tons of flack saying that the ads are dumb, pointless and just plain bad. I guess, since Microsoft is spending $300M on their ad campaign, they expect something superhuman. Most people tend to focus on the fact that this campaign isn’t counter attacking Apple’s Mac and PC ads, and blow them off because of that.
Seriously, WTF?!
Ok, so I know this is totally lame, and that it’s another case of someone that’s had too much time on their hands. But it made my morning…… a little bit brighter. What can I say, I’m easily amused.
It’s a Wolfenstein 3D/Flickr mashup in javascript. You can run around in a pixelated 1995 video game environment, and look at pictures of your flickr stream on the walls. I think it’s made for the narcissist in me.
No Nazis in sight though.
I don’t mean you, of course! You’re awesome! Just those other smug idiots.
Maybe this isn’t a rule exactly….. exceptions exist I’m sure. I’m just saying that I haven’t met anyone with an iPhone that’s not a douche. Yet, anyway. Please, someone, prove me wrong.
Maybe it’s just me being jealous.
Maybe I just want one myself.
Maybe this video says it all…….
Hey folks!
First post! Yeay! Thought it was about time I started a blog of my own. I have a family blog that I’m really crap at updating, since I can only be bothered writing in it when something really interesting happens, but then, usually, I don’t have time, or I need to sit and think of something really witty and smart that has some serious substance.
I post on that blog about once a year. Sometimes two.
And even then, the posts are mostly to let people know that I’m alive by posting a video compilation of our latest vacation, or how our car kept breaking down constantly. People just don’t care about that.
Zzzzz.
This is a new attempt in my constant search of a medium that actually fits me and is more meant to be a blog of random thoughts and fun links that I find online. Not always well thought out posts that inspire deep thoughts and drawn out intellectual discussions. No, this is just going to be random crap I don’t have room room for in my own head.
Enjoy! …or don’t.
