Idea Disorder: Mustache Madness
Brock, Craven and I have this big idea that could make The Mustache just as irresistible as the infamous Snuggie.
I can’t say what the product is, but I will say this:
With each purchase you’ll get the super-slim, totally portable Nose Hair Trimmer absolutely FREE!
And, of course, a percentage of proceeds will go to Mustaches vs. Cancer.

abrunelle:
Finally found the old video of the Hampton upset of Iowa State. It’s only available going to the source site.
I remember this game really well. We were sitting near center-court on the mezzanine or balcony level. Rob and I were so pumped up, we bought Hampton t-shirts afterward. It really was an inspiring win - something I’ll never forget.

BK Lacrosse Alumni Checkup →
The Bishop Kelly Knights men’s lacrosse team published a profile on me last week. I love what they are doing here, “checking in” on an old alum. It’s an honor to be mentioned on their website, but they could profile anyone and I’d still be just as pumped up as I am right now for them. BK lax is on the rise because of efforts like this, their website, live game updates...

Online video measurement
mikehudack:
I just came from the Comscore online video advisory meeting. Surprisingly, I’ve been thinking about online video measurement ever since.
A lot of people at the meeting were focused on developing advertising ROI metrics for online video. It occurs to me that there’s a problem with this. We don’t have accurate measurement of reach and frequency for online video yet. How can we say...

Omniture Adds Twitter Analytics for Brands →
This new tool was announced while I was at the Omniture Summit Feb 17-20. Very cool and very useful for all brands, especially those looking for that edge - knowing what’s coming next. Personally, I’m really looking forward to implementing this or at least something like it into my daily grind.
The key insights discovered through social media will likely be much more useful and...

Why I Like Glue & You Can Too
My first attempt with a video demo. The victim? AdaptiveBlue’s Glue.
I’ve been on Glue for about 4 months now and have loved using it, but I’ve always wished more of my friends would give it a try. Last night, after hearing me talk about Glue for about the 50th time, a few friends started asking questions. They wanted to know how I benefited from using Glue. I hope this video...
