Why does this video give me the same endorphin rush I got from Lost last night? Because it’s not just the perfect singing, and bravery. It’s the true spontaneity where singers and Taco Bell order-takers are getting along as harmoniously as the music. It’s the quirky debate over $25, then back to the song.

Ron Callari, writing for InventorSpot, covered the top 10 pharmaceutical companies enaged in social media. I couldn’t help but be amused by this quote about me: … has a personality that overshadows the company’s online presence… While damaging the brand ‘by association’, Nalty quit Merck to become a micro-celeb of sorts and a social media…

Thanks to Spencer (Farting in Public) for being the gracious victim of a prank that involves me picking up a complete stranger in a convenience store. That stranger, of course, was played by EdBassmaster…
Honestly I don’t want to summarize this Speaker Text press release (via Tim Post) because it reads like a crisp short story (see Post’s writeup). I’d feel like I was Cliff Noting a classic and depriving you of the experience of reading about a company as if you were between chapters of a Grisham novel…
I’m planning on doing a thorough review of the major online video sites, but here’s my first attempt at creating the perfect online video site: It would have the traffic and community of YouTube.

I like it.
That was nice. I watched it twice. 🙂
I really like that video too. Was it really an ad for Taco Bell? I just assumed it was a fun video. I plan on eventually doing drive-thru prank videos.
They’re going to be spending a lot of time on the toilet after that meal.
