I gave the Ask.com Desktop Search app a whirl this week and must say I’m quite impressed. For the longest time I’ve been frustrated with Windows built-in search capabilities. It’s always slow. Ask Jeeves Desktop Search Beta is fast, easy to use, and unlike Google’s app is not browser based. For some reason I like that.
My friend Gary Smith just sent me these videos and it is seriously one of the funniest things I’ve seen. Each video is about 1MB and is very funny.
Go and get ‘em here:
Episode 1: The Original, Episode 2: The Offer, Episode 3: The Eggs, Episode 4: The Bridge.
This is pretty sweet!

Stupid slogans are prevelent in our culture. We recently suggested a slogan to a client and they came back with this instead: “Quality Products at Budget Friendly Prices.”
Instead, we suggested “Really Nice Stuff from a Sweat Shop in China.”
Our client, Phoenix Motor Company, is partnering up with a local non profit to promote a pretty cool prize: A 7-day chauffeur driven tour of Europe in a $400,000 Maybach 62. I wouldn’t normally post something like this but it’s pretty neat and the chances are actually pretty good. There will only be five thousand or less tickets sold (and the chances of selling out are small).
If you’ve never seen a Maybach, scroll down that page to see photos. It’s a really nice ride and you don’t see them very often.
Can you pass the third grade? I think I finally succeeded after about 8 tries. I hated geography when I was younger. Never could remember which states were which.
Red Lobster really has outdone itself with their web site. It’s really quite nice and has a very nice holiday feel. I wonder if they’ll keep the same style and just insert graphics for summertime or if they’ll totally revamp it.
I also thought the subpages were quite nice. Somebody really put some thought into the layout with the intense purpose of creating a feeling of fun. Notice on the subpages that the grass in the photo is moving. The photos on the Beverage Menu page are awesome!
High five to the web team. It’s a winner!
