July 27, 2008, 5:16 pm : Armageddon It!! (Right after this nap…)

This appeared in the Guardian this morning. I thought about buying every copy in London in case someone saw my prairie shame, but then thought ‘Shucks! We NoDaks have a sense of humor. We were in Fargo for like, 5 minutes, and that was funny, right??”

Here is a treat for my friends, co-workers and all the folks who have heard (and probably not believed) my stories about growing up in North Dakota. The place where my grandparents toiled our farm just seconds from massive nuclear missiles. Where my friends and I drank beer in the back of a pick-up truck and watched B-52 bombers fly over us. For you, my pals, I submit this article for a chuckle. Or a gasp of horror. Or Both. Enjoy!

Radiohead Video Made of Code
The new video for “House of Cards”, all made of code. Digging on Thom’s new hairdo, back to the ‘Creep’ look. Nice.

New HBO Vampire Series ARG / Viral
HBO is getting to be the hot hot place to look for where online meets real world marketing. First Voyeur cleaned up at Cannes (and most other shows) and now the mini-sites for new series TrueBlood look like we’re in for more coolness. Check out these sites, all interconnected and setting up the storyline of humans and vampires co-existing RIGHT NOW! There are a pile of these sites and more to come - these are my faves:

TruBlood (synthetic blood replenishment drink - check out the films!)
BloodCopy (vampire blog - check out the posters and films!)
Vampire / Human Dating site (referred to as ‘fangbanging’) register and find true, eternal love

Cuil
The new Google? or just another cheesy search engine. I’d give Google a rest and try this - imagine how ‘cool’ you’ll be when you geek out and search on your iPhone for that ‘thing’, right?
