The Social Tattoo Project was started by three interns at a big advertising firm who were tasked with coming up with a project on awareness. They came up with an idea to make awareness permanent by actually tattooing causes on volunteers. They would allow their twitter followers to vote and the cause with the most votes would be permanently etched into the skin of a volunteer regardless of how that particular volunteer feels about the cause about to be tattooed on their skin.
Much has been said in the media about Richard Loat and Five Hole For Food. I thought I would lighten things up a bit with a short video clip where Mr. Wonderful talks about hockey, his pal Bif Naked, and his love life!
My brother emailed me about a guy from Rhode Island named Jonathan Stark who has started a cool social media experiment. He has posted a picture of his Starbucks card online and is allowing anybody to go use it to buy a coffee, or better yet buy someone else a coffee. It is based on an old Italian custom called Caffe Pagato, which translates to English as "Coffee Paid". Think of it as "take a penny, leave a penny" meets the internet.
New mom Kim Curtis was just a wee bit excited when we called her to confirm that she had won tickets to see Michael Buble in Victoria on August 6th. Kim is a HUGE Buble fan. Her hubby - apparently not so much, so if you know Kim bake her a cake or something and maybe she will take you with her to see MB on Saturday night.
Value, or rather our perception of it is a funny thing. Once man's garbage is another man's feast. If something is free is it of less value than something that is priced at a $1 Million?
