Alright, let’s see what we have today. First up, the obligatory remix of all the Superbowl commercials. It wasn’t a great year for the broadcast ads, but here you go:
Ragan Communications, which I greatly admire and love what they do, says it should be one space after a period. I disagree. Yes, it is an antiquated vestage of the typewriter era, but I still think it is good to have that extra space to reinforce the end of one complete thought and giving you a place to take a breath. I’ll keep fighting the good fight.
America’s tourism board released this ad which is showing around the world and domestically. Pretty cool, although I’m not falling head over heels for the song, but it’s sill cool. The sky diver with the hawk is amazing!

That’s it for now, I”ll be back soon with more, have a great one!

Ragan reports on an awesome interview given by the CEO of Morgan Stanley:
Morgan Stanley’s employees need an attitude adjustment.
At least that’s what CEO James Gorman thinks of his staff who are aren’t happy with recent 20 to 30 percent pay-cuts among senior executives. He also limited cash bonuses. In this Bloomberg Television interview, he outlined three reasons his employees shouldn’t be upset with a smaller salary.
1. They’re “naïve” and should read the newspaper.
2. Compensation shouldn’t define their overall level of happiness. If it does, “you have a problem which is much bigger than the job.”
3. Life’s too short. “If you’re really unhappy, just leave. I mean, Life’s too short.”
This man is amazing! But is it sad that just using some common sense is now considered amazing? Check out the article at Ragan to see the interview and read more.
The most amazing peephole ever:
I have mixed feelings about this, but I think we should keep the leap second. There’s something quaint about the atomic clocks lining up with the solar calendar.
This video is about the ad world, but much of it applies to clients trying to describe what they want:
