I love interactive sites pertaining to TV shows or movies. LOST: talks about it. When will campaigns like this become part of the experience, and not just a promotion for the show? The first one I can remember is for Starship Troopers. They had a great game that replicated the style of the movie and built up a great following people who were excited for the movie months in advance. Too bad the...

The beginning of a new year, like any other major milestone, is always a time for reflection, evaluation, and prediction. Main stream media, websites, bloggers, all give predictions (I’m guilty as well). This year, it’s one of three things: Mobile – We’ve seen this prediction at least half a dozen times.

I woke up early (5 AM) to work at a soup kitchen on Christmas Day. I love driving around on Christmas day, because the streets are empty. I stopped at a Starbucks (shocked that they were open), and was able to park (an amazing feat itself) and then stroll across one of the busiest streets in DC, without a single car around.
