This is so cool.  Scan a barcode with your iPhone and this app will show you the price and information!  (This app is only for this specific store’s products, but eventually it must develop into something for like Amazon or Zappos or eBay that will work for EVERYTHING!)  How awesome would that be?!?!

I’m deadly tired from the flu that I’m currently fighting, but Adurday is too important to disregard!  So, let me just say- this ad from the 80s gave us a timeless catch phrase that I remember even though I wasn’t born yet.  I’m not sure if Wendy’s actively did anything to encourage the phrase’s adoption by popular culture, but if they did it certainly worked. ...

One of advertising’s classics! I almost used this campaign as one of the case studies for my thesis, but my thesis advisor told me not to.  Oh well.  I still think it applies very well to my general argument that the most effective advertising appeals to cultural subsects and is based off of pre-existing cultural trends. However, I think that Mac users tend to be less anti-establishment...

Random Thoughts of the Week
1.  I just drank a lot of coffee, so hang in there, this post should be long and babble-y and incoherent.  Woo!  My favorite.  :-D 2.  I really need to get a new job or a second job or something.  Hanging out at my apartment all day has only led to three things: (1) lots of video games, (2) obsessive cleaning, or (3) cooking more than anyone could ever eat.  I already cleaned the entire apartment...

Dracula: 5 May →
I’m reading Dracula in real time.  It was written as an epistolary novel (like a diary), so the entries are posted in the blog on the same day that the journal entries are dated. This is a very cool concept, but it has one huge fatal flaw.  I wanna read the next entry now.  I have no patience.  And I refuse to wait until my interest is gone!  I’m seizing the moment! Does anyone know...

It is MAYYYYY!!!! Classes are finally over, my thesis is handed in, and I can SLEEP AGAIN!  Hallelujah!  And I can finally work long enough to actually make enough money to pay my rent again!  I will have time to do my spring cleaning!  I will have time to do laundry for the first time in like two months!  This is all kinds of wonderful!!! Speaking of paying the rent, I had a fabulous interview...
