In an attempt to continually start every post with a comment on how seldomly I’ve been posting… well you get the point. Excuses: work is especially busy, I’ve been working longer days, I’ve been out of town, I’ve had meetings after work, and been fighting a cold, tired, lazy… etc…
While working with people to help set up blogs, I often say “quality over quantity”. I’d rather see two or three good posts a week than five throw-away posts. I was trying this philosophy out myself and the problem came when I missed a day… or two… or three and it became increasingly difficult to get back in the habbit. So here’s a blogging concept I’m going to try out for a little while (at least until the inevitable failure): quantity with quality, excluding length. I’ll not be focusing on getting as much into each post, but there’s just so much I want to talk about that my goal is to get out shorter posts and more topics.
So let’s try that out. Let me know what you think…
Ok, the Super Bowl is over and here in Boston we’re all pretty bummed. The entire thing just seems surreal and I have three quick arguments about all this: Eli Manning isn’t good. And the Giants defense outplayed the Patriots. Eli Manning isn’t good.
Moving on.
The saving grace of last night’s debacle were, of course, the commercials. It had been two off years in a row, but 2008 turned it around by giving an overall strong performance. In previous years watching a funny commercial during the Super Bowl meant that you would have to keep watching TV to see it again.
Well thanks to the wonders of the web and online video, we can all ignore regular TV and jump right in to watching fun commercials!
Jump on over to NewTeeVee’s site to check out the summary of where to find all the top videos. You can also find them on Hulu, which you all have invites from when I posted them last month… right?
My personal favorites are: the Bridgestone one with the screaming animals, the talking stain, Shaq the jockey, the eTrade baby, and a few others- man it was a pretty good year!
My least favorites: the blatantly racially stereotypical Salesgenie ones, the random one with Carmen Electra, and the horrible Career Builder ones.
And tomorrow… we’re talking Yahoo, Google, MS, and the rest of the ongoing insanity in the tech world this week.

I liked the Doritos one where the massive mouse (man in a mouse costume) busts through the wall and tackles the guy. I think it was kind of under the radar.
All the CareerBuilder ones were terrible. Salesgenie’s equally so.
The R8 commercial was incredible just for showing the R8. The Godfather parody was just icing.
