Neural Advertising: The Sounds We Can't Resist
In the early years of mainstream cell-phone use, the Nokia ringtone was recognized by 42% of people in the U.K. — and soon became widely loathed. That, Lindstrom says, was partly because so few users practiced cell-phone etiquette and the blasted things kept going off in movie theaters. The Microsoft start-up sound has taken on similarly negative associations, because people so often hear it when...

Origin of Gonzo Journalism
The term “Gonzo” in connection with Hunter S. Thompson was first used by Boston Globe magazine editor Bill Cardoso in 1970. He described Hunter S. Thompson’s “The Kentucky Derby Is Decadent and Depraved”, which was written for the June 1970 Scanlan’s Monthly, as “pure Gonzo journalism”.Cardoso claimed that “gonzo” was South Boston...

Football Season is Over
“No More Games. No More Bombs. No More Walking. No More Fun. No More Swimming. 67. That is 17 years past 50. 17 more than I needed or wanted. Boring. I am always bitchy. No Fun – for anybody. 67. You are getting Greedy. Act your old age. Relax – This won’t hurt.”
- Hunter S. Thompson, February 16th ’05 suicide note.

Operation Loft Lift Continues
It’s something I’ve been thinking of doing for awhile. Trying to not let ideas become idle. Hung a white board up in the loft. Promote creative flow. Yes, that’s a well.

Swarley: No as in cannabis or some guy named Buddy Me: You should have all three Swarley: I don’t know anyone named Bud. I hope I have space for everyone. Would have been a perfect “that’s what she said” moment. I dropped the ball on that one.

Music is so awesome, even in the basement of a dive bar with four total people listening. All it takes is guitar, drums, and a dude with a foot-long beard singing/screaming lyrics he’s reading off of a folded piece of paper. No matter the crowd or the sound, these four guys are making this...

Check it out gadget geeks, I just got me one of them fancy new music rectangles you all tote around all the time. It’s even got one of them moving picture machines inside so I can make me some talkie movies.
fun with nicknames
So Tooth no longer wants to be referred to as The Situation, as he doesn’t wish to be associated with that D-bag on Jersey Shore. No argument here. He came up with a name designed to keep people on the edge of their seats, waiting anxiously for…The Anticipation. I like it. But now I’m jealous and want my own bad ass “I go to the gym, now” nickname. I thought long...
