Guess Where I’ve been

Off to Paris for a conference this next week. I reuploaded my old pictures from last time in Paris the winter before last. There’s also Deux Sevres and the coast last Summer.

“Subliminal” Advertising

Darren invites two ad wizards to a meeting to throw together an impromptu ad, and they find they’ve been had. Don’t miss the last 20 seconds or so.

?The problem isn?t that we?re getting stupider,? says Curtis. ?It?s that media?s getting smarter. Now they can track Web usage to determine how much interest a story is receiving. That?s why there is so much more bullshit in the news these days?it turns out that?s what the mass-media consuming public really wants. If 11 percent of readers keep clicking on Anna Nicole Smith, then they?ll say, ?Oh, people want Anna Nicole,? and they?ll keep feeding it to us. Of course, 50 percent of us would like to see hardcore porn, so where does that get you? But if you think about it, the Edward R. Murrow-era was really a historical anomaly. It was yellow journalism in the 1800s, and it?s yellow journalism today.?
Full article hi yaa.

I was glad to hear from Gero that little Matthis (age 18 mo.s) likes his stuffed animal. He’s named him Bobbop.

I need to go visit my friends with children more often, I’ve got way too many stuffies at my place.
