Honest Products

Here is a interesting contest on Worth 1000 that renames commonly used products to match their qualities. Some of my favorite logo hacks are the following FBI and Starbucks logos.

Scobleizing Randumb Tweets

On this month’s issue of Fast Company, Robert Scoble’s business article was a stream, or better yet, a dribble of blabbering twitter messages. And the Scobleizer bunny gets paid for this. Since twitter does not achieve and make available all your tweets I thought I do a scoble and blog my tweets for posterity. In this post I repost some off the wall and totally random tweets.

• Buy one, get one free. It’s the buy shit no one else wanted sale!
• A marketing slogan will not save the world.
• It doesn’t matter anymore if you eat organic food, we all inhale the same bio-fuel produced air.
• The air quality is so bad in the bay area that you have to chew the air before you can breath it in.
• GoDaddy is more a dead beat dad.
• At the apex of the vortex welcome to the matrix as the cortex is conjecturing about sex.
• I understand a newly immigrated Chinese speaking English better than a born and raised Brit speaking English.
• Getting ready for the impending zombie attack.
• Some people have a hat rack, I have a laptop rack.
• The only reason I subscribe to magazines is to rip them up for scrap paper for piñatas.
• To think outside the box, first you need a box.
• Is the hiring process like speed dating? You quickly get to know the candidate, but just want to know if candidate can perform.
• It drives me nuts that my girlfriend does not know the difference between star wars, star trek and stargate!
• If you are one in a million, in a world with six billion people, there are six thousand of you out there.
• The good thing about taboos is breaking them.
• Eating lamb, who new such a cute animal would taste sooo good.
• Watching a horror flick and paying bills, not sure which is scarier.

Scobleizing Political Tweets

On this month’s issue of Fast Company, Robert Scoble’s business article was a stream, or better yet, a dribble of blabbering twitter messages. And the Scobleizer bunny gets paid for this. Since twitter does not archieve and make available all your tweets I thought I do a scoble and blog my tweets for posterity. Being an election year, I thought I repost some political minded tweets.

• A two party system does not allow for real choice, real change, real debate, real democracy.
• The Cadillac One, the President’s bullet proof limousine, is the antithesis, diabolical, and polar opposite of the Pope Mobile.
• If Adam Smith was right, that there is an invisible hand, then there is also an invisible chain and cage, there is an invisible gitmo.
• If Adam Smith was right, that there is an invisible hand, it is because that is all that is left after corruptalism disembodied the corpse.
• Adam Smith was wrong, because his premise was wrong, there is no such thing as free markets, there are deceitful gouging capitalist markets.
• I feel like Adam Smith’s invisible hand just went down my pants and stole my money as I was paying for gas.
• It has been said that Bill Clinton was the first black president. In that logic, Obama might be the first Muslim president.

Scobleizing Question Tweets

On this month’s issue of Fast Company, Robert Scoble’s business article was a stream, or better yet, a dribble of blabbering twitter messages. And the Scobleizer bunny gets paid for this. Since twitter does not archieve and make available all your tweets I thought I do a scoble and blog my tweets for posterity. In this post I repost some questions first posed on twitter.

• Which came first, the chicken or the chicken nugget?
• What was the best thing before sliced bread?
• Which is better, to jump the shark or to jump the fail whale?
• Is marketing art, science, or illusion?
• Is RAM the new disk? Is R&B the new disco?
• Why is the perfect storm most often a shit storm?
• Is the hiring process like speed dating?
• Are you a player, playa, or playr?
• Are you down with HTTP? Yeah, you know me!
• Do chickens get breast implants? Cause this chicken tastes fake.

A Vision of Students

It seems soo 1999 to go to a class and learn off a black board. Even though classrooms have computers, the chalk is the most used technology in schools.

Here is an innovative collaborate video survey of 200 students at Kansas Sate University.

Here is some basic stats, from the students point of view, about college.

• My average class size is 115
• 18% of my teachers know my name
• I complete 49% of the readings assigned to me
• I will read 8 books this year

Simple Marketting Rules to Making Money

Here are some simple marketing rules that I found on the back of a direct mail marketing company.

A sales pitch must contain one or more of the following key emotions such as fear, greed, guilt, anger, exclusivity, salvation and flattery.

Your copy must contain on of the following 13 power words you, save, money, save, easy, new, guarantee, love, free, discover, results, safety, proven, and health.

Don’t use ‘we’, ‘us’, or ‘our’.

Never try to sell two things at once.

The only purpose of marketing is to make sales!

ExhibitionTube

Is YouTube about exhibitionists stripping and teasing? Is YouTube exploiting those that take strip in front of a camera and upload the video to share with friends and total strangers alike? To try to answer these questions and explore them further here are some clips with the original descriptions.

Get Dick Cheney Laid

There is a new and shiny web 2.0 service called Get Them Laid that is trying to get Dick Cheney, the Vice President of the United States, some hard and fast loving. The only thing is I can’t tell if the site is a gay site (the web site’s logo seems like two dudes having sex). Either way, gay or straight, help out Dick get some. According to his bio on the site, the last time he got any was…

A very long time - his heart is not so good.

The Vice President also needs help getting any because…

Dick can’t get laid because his black heart is about to fail and because no one beings in existence find him attractive

I would say that the creep veep can’t get any because he is lurks behind a bush and President Bush beats around his own bush.

Ultimate Urban Ninja

First off, let me state that you should not try the following tricks at home, your friends home, or anyone’s home. But if you do, film it so we can all see how you ended up in the hospital. The people in the videos are trained professionals and in my laymen opinion clinical nuts. To get start here is a video of an urban ninja while at the mall, jumping and leaping from root tops to stair cases to just about any platform in front of him.

I guess this is how these urban ninjas train at the gym.

One of the first urban ninja videos out there was of the Dvinsk Clan from the Russian motherland. The video is of a skinny Russian kid doing some crazy acrobatics on some abandoned old school Soviet era building, it looks like the Soviet ghetto.

But now there are British and French urban ninjas. These high kicking death defying leaping ninjas seem to employee moves from karate and kung-fu to gymnastics and break dancing. This genre of craziness is also known as urban tricking, free running, or Parkour.

In the following video the Team Ryouko Yamakazi tricks off an UPS truck, bus stops, and just about anything else they can find in Toronto.

If you want to see more crazy break dancing, gymnastic, karate expeditions, capoeiristas, and plain old urban ninjas check out The Worlds Best Tricks Volume 2 and Volume 3.

What is Web 2.0?

Are you unsure what Web 2.0 means? Does Web 2.0 mean blogs, or wikis, or social networks, or flicker, or myspace, or just some site with fancy JavaScript effects? Here is a great video that explains Web 2.0 in a 5 minutes. The Machine is Us/ing Us.

The video above is a video response to another more documentary-minded video on Web 2.0. Here is the more verbose definition and history of Web 2.0.

Of course, this blog post with embedded YouTube video is very Web 2.0, don’t you know!
