Since we have a tie, I’m going to give each winner a $25 iTunes gift card instead of half a Nano. Just send your name and email address to steve.wax@gmail.com. And I’d also like to clear up one mystery. Who is “Training for ‘09″? — and is “Pratt Course Catalog photo shoot” insider information about the picture?
On the first day of shooting, Kim from Verizon made us this amazing home-made apple pie. It was even better than it looks, and it made us forget all about yesterday’s nasty speeding ticket business. Thanks, Kim!
Tomorrow we begin shooting episodes nine and ten of My Home 2.0 in Ft. Wayne, Indiana, and we’ve already had an inauspicious start. About five minutes from the airport, we were pulled over by a cop for doing 70 MPH in a 55 MPH zone. To be fair, I wasn’t paying attention to my speed, but I didn’t think I was going very fast. It’s hard to judge when there are NO other cars on the road with you.
The kicker? Another 2 minutes up the road and the speed limit changed to 70 MPH.
It was a nice little speed trap to nab people coming from the airport, because they got both of us who were driving on the road. Anyhow, if you happen to be in Ft. Wayne look for us around town — we’re the ones driving 35 MPH on the highway.
This is one of my favorite DIY projects from Campfire’s MyHome2.0 Campaign for Verizon’s FiOS. The possible uses are endless, but what I like best is you can give friends and relatives a spot on your wall — your real wall, not your Facebook wall – to post photos. And you can dig into the family shoe box, scan your favorites and have them cycling through on another screen.
I always knew there was something fishy about Julia Child. For years, I thought it was the oddly-intoned voice. However, according to the AP and ABC News, documents released this morning name Child as part of the first organized intelligence operation in US History. During WWII, Child was recruited by the OSS (a pre-cursor to the CIA) to stir up trouble against Hitler.
Lord knows what havoc Child wrought on the schnitzel.
Lisa, our office goddess has been interviewing people for an intern position. Josh came by a few days ago and then did a follow up with this video. Should we hire him?
Creativity Magazine has a lengthy story on our True Blood campaign for HBO, focusing on the storytelling aspects:
Expanding the universe of an existing property, whether a film or TV show, further through deeper stories involving marginal characters is not a new type of storytelling, witness the cottage industry of Star Wars and Star Trek literature. But True Blood’s is an exceptional case in that the peripheral mythology has been written by an agency. The success of Campfire’s latest creation is obviously based on the storytelling prowess of Cain and Hale, along with the agency’s respect for the overall artistic integrity of the show.
