    I love interactive sites pertaining to TV shows or movies. LOST:http://www.flyoceanicair.com/http://www.find815.comReadWriteWeb 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…

  • Nerd Networking and the Capital Cabal

    I’m not a networker. I’ll give you a second to get over the shock. I’ve always operated under the impression that in the technical world, doing great work far outweighs who you know and who knows you, and that “networking” is left to the business types. In the corporate world, this holds true. You do…
