This comes from an email I sent to coworkers today. Now that I’m a Digital Strategist my lone concern is strategery and digital. This blog will become the staging point. Do not fear the 1derland. Embrace the 1derland. Embrace.
I often remark on the fact the world wide information superweb is a vast land of hope, wonder, and pornography – which it is. The amount of pornography is both vast and wonderful giving us all hope. But it’s so much more than just a place to find broadband speed smut. The internet is a friend, a research partner, a teacher, an entertainer, and a place to find hundreds of hilarious compilations of people falling down, (like this awesome one for instance http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0AbQpzn6t4c).
Now that I’m now a Digital Strategist, staying current with what’s happening on the inforwebs is not just a way to waste time between meetings – it’s now a way to waste time between meetings, AND my like my job. Or something. I think? But since I wrote it in my job description it’s safe to say it’s true until someone tells me different. I’m pretty sure that’s in the playbook.
Being that I’m a giving man, (and Paul Leone most certainly is a giving man,) I’ve decided that I want to share my daily finds with those of you who spend your days buried in spreadsheets and budgets. In this way we can all participate in the awesome. Expect about 4 links a day, feel free to submit anything you find, feel free to forward as necessary, and if you’d prefer not be on the list respond with “unsubscribe” in the subject line and my automatic mailbot will tell you to F-yourself.
Enjoy.

I’ve been digging stop motion for a while, and no one does it better than PES. I checked out his site for the first time and the commercials are amazing. Check Nike, Scrabble, and Beasty Boy (maybe especially Beasty Boy), but it’s all pretty choice stuff.
I have this weird thing this winter for running around in 2.5 inch split leg shirts when it starts snowing. Whatever, it happens. But according to this at least I’m not alone. None of them have an American flag though. Advantage? Paul Leone.

Really cool designer who does stuff with a different random object each week. Maybe next week he’ll find a use for all those extra Human Race shirts we have in the back. Hammock?

I’ve played with this twice and lost.

BONUS ARTICLE: I get this distinct feeling that Michelangelo would have been my BFF. Dude had authority issues, a thing for naked chicks, and some very secular beliefs. Opposites attract.
