I *am* the empire

Just a quick shout out to Ariel for the great t-shirt, which pokes fun at how Microsoft has been referred to sometimes as the evil empire. And, as promised, I took a photo of me wearing the shirt in my office this morning...

                                     

TPKE, baby!

Last summer my org had a huge offsite in alignment with the annual company meeting, during which we launched some new organizational services standards - which guide us in how we service our customers. To help cement these standards in our minds, a group of guys pulled together a fake boy band (ClickThru) and lip-synced to an awful boy band tune, creating a dance routine and a video. They then performed live on stage for us. It was hysterical, and I loved the idea of an organization theme song. But I hate boy band music. So I took a couple sound clips, removed all of the music (to get it past legal, the only thing that could remain were the voices), and recorded and remixed a more hip, cool version. Check it out.

And then I went a little crazy, creating an industrial/goth version: Download tpke_cbuck_vs_nitzer_ebb.mp3

Lens of the Year

I need your help.

My Squidoo lens on how to build a cheese-powered vehicle (http://www.squidoo.com/cheesefuel) has been nominated for the prestigious Lens of the Year award, and I need some additional votes to help me secure this coveted title.

Please go to http://www.squidoo.com/thelensoftheyear, scan the list for my URL (ranked right now at around #40) and vote for me.

Only through this kind of useless non-recognition and frivolous accolades will this faux-technology reach the masses and truly change the world!

Thanks for you help.
