This is the last post for the summer. My vacation starts tomorrow and I know I would be beheaded if I kept hanging in front of the keyboard the next few weeks. So, I’m trying this new thing, I call it “logging off”. I don’t know if you’re familiar with it, at least I wasn’t…
Rather than summing up the blog so far, here’s a little about what’s to come:
-New features on the blog
-Info about upcoming event
-The book
-Some wacky ideas
Looking forward!
Cardo Systems have just had 15 microseconds of fame. The number of views and video responses exposing the (obvious, one would think) hoax the last few days is amazing:

I love this thing, what’s most symptomatic (I think) is that it’s more or less obvioius that it is a viral video created by a company, and that it has no obvious source (until exposed). It raises another question regarding the sender. If companies can unconditionally post advertising (or PR) on the interwebz, why use an outmoded system like tv advertising where it is obvious that it is advertising (and thus creates the pavlovian response of zapping)?
An interesting question with no obvious answer.
