So there is some Buzz around American Idol as they gear up for the upcoming season.  Got me thinking about the best performances on the show’s history.  Now, I didn’t watch the first few seasons, but have been hooked for the majority of the show’s run at this point.  I am 100% sure that I [...]

One of our company’s interns reminds me of the illicit love child of Bill S. Preston (Esquire) and Ted (Theodore) Logan.  I made him watch this today.  The scary part – he was born AFTER one of my all-time favorite movies was released and that made me feel extremely old.

Countless reports have flooded the Internet today that the NFL will conditionally reinstate Michael Vick. Before I get into analysis, let me get my biases out of the way: 1) I am a passionate Baltimore Ravens fan.   2) I have supported Ray Lewis is his return to the playing field after his murder trial.

Using only song names from one artist, cleverly answer these questions. Post your version as a comment.  You can’t use the band I used. Do not repeat a song title. It’s a lot harder than you think! Band: Dave Matthews Band 1) Are you a male or female? Spaceman 2) Describe yourself: Proudest Monkey 3) [...]

Earlier this week, Jennifer Van Grove over at the awesome Mashable site wrote about Muck Rack and how they are offering a Twitter-based press release distribution service.  The basic premise of the piece is asking if media and PR pros are open to the new method (with a $50 per-character price tag).
