    Here’s some Marketing for you…

    Posted on November 16, 2005 | 2 comments

    So while watching NBC’s Medium this week, the couple go see a preview of the Memoirs of a Geisha movie. They show a full page ad in the newspaper and a big color poster at the theater and mention the name more than a few times. So when they go to commercial, guess what movie I see an advertisement for?

    Mini-Update

    Posted on November 16, 2005 | Leave a comment

    So a few little things:

  • I got up extra early yesterday, so I napped (bad idea), and now I’m awake!!! But at least I don’t have to be anywhere until 11 in the morning.
  • I’m really liking SpamArrest as my new challenge response mail filter.
  • MegaMillions is up to $315 million! I bought a few chances at that. (Hmm… I wonder if the results are up yet??)
  • NBC said they have more information on getting glasses for Medium-3D episode and I don’t think there is any more info at all.
  • I’m off to bed now!

    MailBlocks Service is discontinued tomorrow (don’t forget your refund)

    Posted on November 15, 2005 | 6 comments

    Don’t forget the Mailblocks service is discontinued tomorrow, November 16th, at Noon. So copy/migrate your mail and don’t forget to get your refund.

    The more I play with it, the more I like SpamArrest and a substitute. I’ve mentioned it before and been playing around with it the past few days.

    Red Trousers – Free Movie from TiVo

    Posted on November 15, 2005 | 1 comment

    TiVo is giving away a free movie called Red Trousers. It’s only for Series 2 DVRs with broadband (but not the DirectTivo). This is just to test the new “TiVo Video Download” service. Here’s the thing, it’s downloading the movie via your high speed internet! It’ll be interesting to see.

    I’ve always thought there would be a market for showing the first 15 minutes of a movie (or even 30 minutes). Let me pick some movies I’m interested in from a list, it downloads the first fifteen minutes, in exchange I answer a few (5-8) multiple choice questions for them. (If you don’t answer all the questions, you can’t delete it, which means you can’t download another).

    I need a new e-mail spam blocking service…

    Posted on November 15, 2005 | Leave a comment

    So I’m looking for a new service to replace a service that I’ve loved, Mailblocks, they’re shutting their doors today (or tomorrow). I want a spam blocking service that uses captchas (I do understand the pros and cons but most importantly I’m aware that it does work and I do check my pending box for real messages). I see there are two other companies out there that look similar, SpamArrest.com and iPermitMail.com. I’d really like to use IMAP for my mail.

    Can anyone tell me if they support IMAP? Or can anyone recommend these companies in particular? Or some other companies with similar service? It’s looking like SpamArrest will be my choice but I am looking for options.

    Sugar Free Alpha-Bits

    Posted on November 14, 2005 | 6 comments

    Why would they do this?!? Sugar Free? And the box looks the same! That’s just mean!

    So I was going to have a bowl of cereal as a little snack tonight and I was pretty disappointed. I don’t generally keep sugar around the house so I had to use powdered sugar. It actually worked pretty good, just don’t watch anything too funny when you eat it because if you laugh you might accidentally inhale some of the sugar…

    The Daily Three Things

    If you could only choose three beverages to drink for the rest of your life, which three would you choose?
    Coca-Cola, Hawaiian Punch (it’s a drink at the bar that tastes like the real thing) and water.

    Found at Michele’s.
