Apple Ranks Number One

In a news article at Yahoo/Reuters they polled brand recognition with branding professionals (it’s an odd url, I’m assuming it won’t last but I’ll put the pertinent info below). It’s interesting that Apple nudged Google out of first place. I’m surprised that Ikea isn’t as high in North America as it is globally and that Al Jazeera is on the global list. Even though I’m a big fan of 80% of the North America list, I’m still surprised that Pixar made the list. Also, Coca-Cola didn’t make the top 5 list anywhere world-wide….

A bit of how the extremes of space and the ocean can be very similar. Did I say the 3D looked great?!?

Out of Commission

So I’ve been sick for the last week (still am a little) so not much (any) blogging the past week. I’ve been home from work for a week, it’s been a long time since I’ve felt that crummy. Feeling a bit better today so I thought I’d say I’m alive :)

Haven’t left the house for the last week other than for food, drugs or the doctor. Can you say bored!?!

Your New Year’s Resolutions

Jill does a new take on new year’s resolutions, she makes them for others! You might not find it as funny since you don’t read her regularly, but I am finding it pretty hysterical. You can read her all the time at The World of Jill Twiss.

So Srah did this Year in Review thing. Take the first line from the first post of each month and list it out. I liked it. So I did it too! Clicking on the links takes you to all the posts in that month.

Jan) It’s the start of a New Year!
Feb) It’s been so nice outside this weekend.
Mar) Okay, so the Internet has hit rock bottom.
