Comment on Brachiosaurus at O’Hare by Ruth

When I volunteer at the airport I love giving directions that include “turn right at the WWII fighter plane and the left at the dinosaur”.

People look at me like I am crazy… but they are both inside the terminals!

As I understand it this dinosaur was kicked out of the Field Museum because of the arrival of ‘Sue’. What do you do with a spare dinosaur? Why put it in the airport of course!

It’s about time print started learning ways to survive. These “bizarre” magazines make me hopeful for the print industry. And that’s what I’m thankful for these days — enough to even write a post about it: http://blog.psprint.com/graphic-design/things-to-be-thankful/

Comment on Update: Facebook is popular. Like 300 million users popular. by Eric

In Facebook terms, you’re young! I think the largest demo is females 18-25, but 26-34 is second. The fast growing demo is females over the age of 55!

I actually graduated about a year too late to join FB while I was still in college, so had to wait until they rolled it out to everyone. While I don’t spend too much time on FB, I do get use out of it, and it’s a good way to keep in touch with friends.

I’m also beginning to use FB for work projects since it’s such a good way to engage people.

Interesting post. Initially, I intended to avoid Facebook since I didn’t appear to fit the demographic. Really, a 30-something male using Facebook? Seemed inappropriate. A couple years ago, I took a chance and I’m now a regular user. I’m even encouraging my co-workers to look at the business development opportunities that might arise.

Comment on Creepy Palm Pre ads are… A raging success? by Eric

I used to have a Palm Treo and I loved it, and I think the Palm Pre looks very cool. If I were still on Sprint, I’d be all over it.

Unfortunately that woman from the ads haunts my dreams, but I can’t really hold that against the phone.

The Palm Pre looks sweet and will probably be the next phone I get, but those ads are pretty creepy.

Ha! I didn’t notice that in the first couple of viewings, but that is hilarious.

My favorite part of the clip was the caption, “Owns Home Computer” under the man’s name.
