Damian for President? Err, but I'm not a citizen... yet!

See the news story!

So I haven't been posting on my blog because I'm lazy. Or busy. Or both. But a blog that isn't updated sucks. So now I'm gonna worry less about spelling, worry less about content and worry more about just updating. So the best way to do that is keep it short and sweet and about things that I do and know about. Which isn't much. So welcome to Riffs with rules. This is where I play a little guitar (so I get some much needed practice!) and I also get to update my blog.

The concept behind "Riffs with Rules" is that I set up a rule that I adhere to in a little improv. The first one is easy: The riff must start and end with a pick slide - bringing it back to the 80s baby! BTW: I know it really should be "Improv with rules", but that just doesn't sound catchy. These aren't really riffs, but who cares - I got another blog update from it! Boom!

I ask everyone to boycott any Ann Coulter events, products, endorsements. The Republican party should ask her to stop her assault on candidates or remove her from the party. There's just no excuse.

So as I'm sure everyone knows there is an online game called Second Life (if you don't know about it, check it out here). Second life is really the social networking equivalent of SIMS. Anyway, just like with MySpace, corporations have cottoned on to the fact that there is community there and that they can market to folks who are involved in the community - can you blame them? Anyway, I came across this video and it shows how marketing has integrated itself pretty nicely into the framework. Great idea, good execution. What's my point? If you want to get away from the marketers, you'll have to move to Tibet. Here's the video:


Enjoy.
