Online Ad Revenues to REach $103B by 2015
Social networking site Facebook.com led all online publishers during Q1 2010 with 176 billion display ad impressions, representing 16.2% market share. Yahoo Sites ranked second with 132 billion impressions (12.1% market share), followed by Microsoft Sites with 60 billion impressions (5.5% market share) and Fox Interactive Media with 53 billion impressions (4.9% market share).

You release a new iPhone® 4 with iOS 4 that has amazing 1280x720p HD video recording capabilities — with editing… and you can’t stream the WWDC 2010 Keynote Address larger then 643x360p? Sorry Steve – you never looked so bad.
Welcome back 2003 – WTF?
Sorry if it’s just me — but when you are trying to convey new technologies like a 326ppi Retina Display on a new iPhone 4 that has a display resolution of 960×640… you might want to figure out your streaming solutions.
Does the new iPhone 4 allow me to bluetooth pair with my laptop and send sms messages from a keyboard like my T68i from 2001?
Genius.
I somehow popped backstage last night at BHTM 2010 Live at Red Rocks without ever having a ticket. It was a good show – with sun, rain, a torrential downpour and meeting new friends — but nothing compares to the 06/07/08 four hour live recording dvd show.
From me to you… enjoy the adventure.
Rock on.
From last night:
Human beings are primates. We’re social. Everything we do is related around socializing with others of our species.
Yet we’re always tempted to think otherwise. That our businesses are not what they actually are (social groups), but more like machines. Taylorism, Homo Economicus and all that…
This is why I always recommend people reading the work of my good friend, Mark Earls. Mark’s thesis is, simply, 1. That people are social animals, 2. That businesses are social groups, not machines, 3. That what holds these social groups (businesses) together is a collective sense of “purpose”, 3. A business without a strong “Purpose-Idea” is at a considerable disadvantage.
Which is why I made the drawing so that “Purpose” is at the very center of the design…
Thanks Hugh.

Openers Sammy Hagar and the Wabos, J. Geils Band
Aerosmith’s summer ’09 tour was one of the most ill-fated in the band’s colorful career: the band was struck by severe injuries and nearly lost Steven Tyler. But the mended Rock and Roll Hall of Famers are taking their explosive show back on the road again this summer, including a sold-out homecoming show at Fenway with J. Geils Band.
My only question is – how in the hell does Steven Tyler keep moving?
He’s popping 62 years, has overcome both a heroin addiction from the 80s and a pain killer addiction from 2009 — he is older then both of my parents and yet somehow still keeps the show alive. What in the hell are they putting in his water?
This will be his 26th concert tour – Unbelievable.
Golf balls in the Mayonnaise jar
When things in your life seem, almost too much to handle,
When 24 Hours in a day is not enough,
Remember the mayonnaise jar and 2 cups of coffee.
A professor stood before his philosophy class and he had some items in front of him.
When the class began, wordlessly, he picked up a very large and empty mayonnaise jar,
and proceeded to fill it with golf balls. He then asked the students, if the jar was full. They agreed that it was.
The professor then picked up a box of pebbles and poured them into the jar. He shook the jar lightly. The pebbles rolled into the open Areas between the golf balls. He then asked the students again if the jar was full. They agreed it was.
The professor next picked up a box of sand and poured it into the jar. Of course, the sand filled up everything else. He asked once more if the jar was full. The students responded with a unanimous ‘yes.’
The professor then produced two cups of coffee from under the table and poured the entire contents into the jar, effectively filling the empty space between the sand. The students laughed.
‘Now,’ said the professor, as the laughter subsided, ‘I want you to recognize that this jar represents your life. The golf balls are the important things – family, children, health, friends, and favorite passions – things that if everything else was lost and only they remained, your life would still be full.
The pebbles are the other things that matter like your job, house, and car.
The sand is everything else –The small stuff.
‘If you put the sand into the jar first’, he continued, ‘there is no room for the pebbles or the golf balls. The same goes for life.
If you spend all your time and energy on the small stuff, you will never have room for the things that are important to you.
So…
Pay attention to the things that are critical to your happiness.
Play With your children.
Take time to get medical checkups.
Take your partner out to dinner.
There will always be time to clean the house and fix the disposal.
‘Take care of the golf balls first.
The things that really matter.
Set your priorities. The rest is just sand.’
One of the students raised her hand and inquired what the coffee represented.
The professor smiled.
‘I’m glad you asked’.
It just goes to show you that no matter how full your life may seem,
there’s always room for a couple of cups of coffee with a friend.
Let kids be creative … surprising things happen. Specific use of SmoothCam is what peaks my interest here. You’ll have to wait for it, but it shows creative power when edited to some melodic black metal.

Don’t be scared – just click em.
S . A . F . E !
I hope you enjoy the moon walk.
Good luck.
Genius and scary. I don’t even know what it’s for or if this is completely real, but I intend to find out.
1. Dean’s Blue Hole – this is no joke.
2. Guillaume Nery is no joke either – but considering the deepest any freediver has ever gone in the blue hole is 120 metres (394 ft) – just last month – I do not believe Guillaume actually made it to the bottom. Still, this is ridiculously insane and opens up an entire new world to a sport I knew existed, but had no idea s to what capacity it was being taken.
Excellent work goes out to Bluenery Productions with a quick 1 month turn around on this project.
Live from Wolf Creek golf course in Mesquite, Nevada – CartChicks just finished the front 9. Advancing to the back with Cold Coors Lights in hand. Wish us luck!
