Bill (@mtlb for all you Twitter folks) from Make The Logo Bigger just posted about baggage-claim-belt advertising. It was only a matter of time… stair faces, escalators, baggage belts. Where will it stop?
From MTLB:
“End of long trip..>..Made longer as his and her wearing tourist couple saunters off plane in front of me..>..Walk 1/2 mile to baggage claim past waiting and legit—I’m sure—airport taxi ‘services’..>..Wait minimum 15 minutes for conveyor to start..>..Universal sound of submarine ‘DIVE’ siren, but then wait another five for bags to even start appearing..>..Rambo 1,000 yard stare now focused on the end of conveyor belt searching for bags..>..Bags pass—not mine of course—but, mocking me nonetheless with their victory lap as if to say: “Yeah, I have an owner picking me up, bitch.”..>..Staring now at spot in front of me wondering why I keep choosing this airline..>..Oh look, your brand’s FUCKING LOGO for the 10th time..>..His and her luggage goes by—why not,why shouldn’t they leave before me..>..I now wonder if bags went into luggage relocation program..>..Finally, bag in sight.”
I’m not lying… I seriously just got pissed off reading Bill’s thought process on checked luggage. Thanks, Bill, and I’m really dreading checking luggage now. The absolute last thing I need to see is an ad for VH-1’s “Best Week Ever” crawl by me twelve times before my damn bag comes into view.

I always liked this Amp Energy Drink spot. I don’t know what it is… maybe I can relate to it?
That train was supposed to be here by now…

This is what you get, Google, for taking a picture of my house (in uber-creepy, stalker-ish fashion).

I just found this really cool online comic strip, Garfield minus Garfield. Basic premise of the strip is that the author goes through all of Jim Davis’ old Garfield cartoons and removes Garfield. The result is actually funnier than the original strip (and slightly more disturbing).

I just found this awesome online utility, pageonce, which aggregates all (most) of your airline mileage accounts, bank accounts, e-mail accounts, utilities, social networking accounts, and the like into one (tabbed) page. It took me about five minutes to set up about 20 accounts with no hassle. Check it out for yourself!
