I ran across this article on CNET about RFID being used to send drivers of Mini’s a personalized message on billboards as they drive past. I think it is a pretty novel marketing idea, but at what cost? This will be fine and dandy until some jerkoff tries to take a picture with their phone at 60mph and kills someone because they weren’t paying attention. Then I will be pissed off. The only problem is I won’t know who to blame.

The boards, which usually carry typical advertising, are programmed to identify approaching Mini drivers through a coded signal from a radio chip embedded in their key fob. The messages are personal, based on questionnaires that owners filled out: “Mary, moving at the speed of justice,” if Mary is a lawyer, or “Mike, the special of the day is speed,” if Mike is a chef.

And what is with the big insurgence of creatively fresh billboards and large-scale advertising mediums. I have been noticing a lot of companies are starting to alter the urban landscape with huge testaments as to why their product is right for you.

I was recently talking to an old friend about the Hi-C Ecto Coolers and drinking them as a child. First off, excellent product tie-in Hi-C. That match was made in heaven as the Ecto Cooler became far more popular than expected and the flavor actually lasted for almost 20 years. It was in 1997 that Minute Maid changed the name from Ecto Cooler to “Shoutin’ Orange Tangergreen”. Shoutin’ Orange Tangergreen was then renamed in 2006 to “Crazy Citrus Cooler”. This leads me to the point of this story.

The conversation about Ecto Cooler involved it’s flavor. My friend made the argument that Ecto Coolers were simply Hi-C Orange drink renamed. I felt that there were some modifications to the formula to change the flavor. I do not believe that the Ecto Cooler was simply a re-colored orange drink but instead a new citrus blend. We were not able to settle on an agreement.

After doing a bit of research on the product I have come to the conclusion that I was correct. If you look at the current and previous naming schemes, both indicate either “citrus” or “tangerine” which leads me to believe that there is more than orange flavoring in those drinks. So to you oh arguer of argue, I say bring it on, because Slimer’s got my back on this one and no proton pack can stop us.

I’m starting to feel old, I remember when Hi-C came in CANS!!!!! And notice the reference to “citrus cooler” in the commercial.

You start one of your own. Words to live by from Wilford Brimley, the man, the rancher, the diabetic.

This is pretty awesome. Not so much the content of the video, but the fact that someone pirated the signal and broadcast over the station. I wish we would see more stuff like this. I’m not a fan of big media, but thats obvious already. I wish someone would pirate broadcast over most of the crap of TV today, it would be a big improvement. And hopefully their broadcast would be during commercials, because NO-ONE wants to watch those anymore.

I just received this email in my mailbox a few minutes ago with the subject: “Jesus Wrote:”. Hey, if the good lord is tossing me stock picks they must be winners. WOW am I flattered. Its just too bad he doesn’t understand the English language. But hey, I’m not going to hold it against him.

Did you saw it grow on November ?
Time has come to another one.

I just don’t know what to do. I received an email the other day and the person ended the message with the SAME salutation that I use. I don’t know what to do now. My life has become a catastrophic mess. What has really been troubling me is that I haven’t been able to email the person back. How would I end my message? See this is not a typical “thanks” or “have a nice day” kind of salutation, this was a rarely used salutation, so to respond using the same salutation would be possibly offensive as I am offended having received such a message.

I am open to your suggestions for a solution to this problem. I do realize that I could simply change my salutation, but that would be an absolute last resort and only if I could come up with a better salutation than I already use. This is not going to be an easy feat. So please let me know what to do, how I can move on after such a shocking life event.

Now if this isn’t scary I don’t know what is. All of a sudden the Terminator is real.

Singapore has launched a contest to build a robot that can operate autonomously in urban warfare conditions, moving in and out of buildings to search and destroy targets like a human soldier.The country’s Defence Science and Technology Agency (DSTA) said on its website it is offering one million Singapore dollars (US$ 652,000) to the developers of such a robot that completes a stipulated task in the fastest time.

Now how in the hell is a robot going to determine who is good and who is bad. People can dress anyway they like, and there would be no way to estimate the threat of the human in the room. I just hope that they at least make the robots look like something out of a Hollywood movie rather than bland metal machines. I want faux flesh baby and animatronic faces with real expressions. They can call Walt Disney for more info on that one.

Now I am torn by this introduction. An ~$18.00 DVD player. This makes it cheaper than most new release DVDs. Welcome to disposable. What a waste, all of the electronics and crap that we keep replacing and all the junk keeps getting dumped somewhere. How wasteful. But now like consumer printers, the hardware is almost free and the money is made on the ink.

A DVD player is to go on sale for just £9, demonstrating that gadgets have now become as disposable as an old shirt and cheaper than a night at the cinema.

Asda is to offer the player, which costs less than a DVD blockbuster film, as it steps up the pressure on traditional electrical stores.

The arrival of the £9 DVD player demonstrates how supermarkets are shaking up the high street.

On a grim note, my friends little brother knew this kid and actually lived just down the street. You have to wonder why the quite, non-threating types always go nuts and kill a bunch of people. Do they know something everyone else doesn’t?

Police killed a teenager who they said used a sword to kill his mother and injure three other people, including an officer.

Investigators had not determined the motive for the attacks, Chief Doug Schmitt said Friday.

How very sad.

Right now you can get 670 Nintendo games, which the seller is claiming all the games ever officially licensed for the system. It also comes with what appears to be the entire Nintendo entertainment system with accessories. Dang this is sweet. At the time of this post the current bid is $12,000. A little too steep for my checkbook but it would be sweet as hell to have, no doubt.

Well according to Michael’s hair, it looks as though his frosty white locks are starting to thin. A bald Michael McDonald just won’t cut it, get some regain Mike, you need that mystical silver hair to enchant your fans.

FAVORITE YOUTUBE COMMENT:

I mean REALLY, where is there room for COMPLAINT?

How cool would this be. I would just ride around town with the siren on and speed like hell. I mean who in their right mind would pull over the Ghostbusters.

Probably someone who hasn’t heard of Zuul.

I have several wooden cooking spoons. Some I use for cooking meat, some I only use for mixing frozen beverages. My grandma used to have a wooden leg before she lost it to termites.
