Hats off to General Motors for this refreshing viral advertising campaign featuring flying cars. I almost hesitate to reveal GM as the sponsor because conspiracy theories would be more fun (and they’re already taking place). For instance, Future Technology Today is taking them pretty darned seriously. I think. Meanwhile, the GM chat board is pretty…
YouTube is expanding the once-selective* “Partners” program so that more video contributors can monetize their work. We’ve already seen the “requirements”* drop so that amateurs with fewer views have been invited to join in recent weeks. YouTube released this in a press release (and its blog), and the most interesting statement concerned the potential revenue…
Have you noticed the annual Halloween stores have begun to open? How do these companies survive with 2-months of sales a year? Oh. 95% margins, that’s how.

great one Kevin! i have gotten a dozen of those kinds of calls..
I am working at home all day. My client has my phone number… every time the phone rings, I feel compelled to answer it. By 3:55 I had received:
3 prerecorded calls for the Mayoral race*
1 prerecorded call for the Senate race
1 live call from a company surveying what college I am likely to choose if I graduate high school
*one from the incumbent, two from other sources
No calls from W… I think he was all tuckered out from his call with Nalts, probably slept in…
…er… duh… governer’s race, not mayoral race…
And to think I missed an opportunity to prank call PC.
