  • Atlantans will use almost anything as a sled

    January 10th, 2011 / Comments (0)

    Going on now at Piedmont Park: We spied a For Sale sign, a blow up pool, a laundry basket and something that looked like a cardboard shark being used as sleds in this video. Also glad to see the skiers are practicing good skier safety and wearing their helmets. Would Piedmont Park be classified as a green slope?

    What are you doing today? Did you brave the icy snowy roads like the die hard employee that you are? Or are you at home safe watching The Craigslist Killer on Lifetime and sipping spiked hot chocolate like we are?

  • Account Execs Would Hate This

    If your AEs schedule meetings like its their job (ok, it is their job), show 'em who's boss January 19th, Boycott A Meeting Day.

    "Every minute you avoid spending in a meeting is a minute you can get real work done instead." Ain't that the truth.

    This is a great TED Talk about why meetings (and other interruptions) are the end of productivity at the office:

  • Ed Hardy for the Homeless

    January 10th, 2011 / Comments (0)

    Utah interactive agency Super Top Secret has finally found a way to get those ridiculous, bejeweled Ed Hardy (and Affliction) t-shirts out of the hands of decent Middle American citizens and into the hands of people who are in desperate need of a shirt on their back - because obviously only in desperate need would it be OK for a grown ass man to wear a Dragon and Sword Rhinestone Tee.

    Here's the deal you can't refuse: send them your bedazzled menswear and they will donate them to the homeless for you. In exchange they will send you a much more appropriate and stylish t-shirt of their design.

    They don't expressly promise to protect the anonymity of their donors, but we expect that that's implied.

    We got a great deal from Scoutmob at Publik this weekend (did we see you there?). This video by Proper Medium explains why we love Scoutmob. Do you feel the Scoutmob effect?

    Did you know you can also Scoutmob when you travel? They've launched in San Fran. and New York and will be launching in 10 more cities soon (including Springfield).

  • Happy Snow Day

    January 9th, 2011 / Comments (0)

    A single flake hasn't fallen yet but some businesses and schools are already closed tomorrow in anticipation for a big snow (if 2-3 inches can be called that, we can hear the laughter from the Northeast as we type that).

    Wishing everyone a happy snow day tomorrow, even if you have to go to work.

  • The American Dream Realized: A Street Corner to Kraft Commercial Story

    January 7th, 2011 / Comments (0)

    At the beginning of the week we introduced you to Ted Williams, the homeless man on a street corner in Columbus, Ohio with the "golden voice". This weekend, he'll debut as the voice of Kraft Macaroni & Cheese. Kraft will get way more than they paid CP+B for with this spot, there's no other reason we, and the rest of the viral machine, would care about this commercial.

    The man with the golden voice, a consummate professional, in the recording studio:
