Ted Turner was on Charlie Rose last night.
I’ll say it again — old rich men with something to say are one of favorite things in the world. They have the money to allow them to talk about whatever/whoever they want and not enough time left on earth to hold anything back.
Favorite exchange:
Charlie: People listen to you and the views you express.
Ted: They should. I think a lot and I’m smart.
Saw this play tonight at The Public Theater.
Acting from the leads Ellen Burstyn and Michael Shannon was amazing, story was very heavy.
Wire actor spotting in the audience: Major Rawls.
#Pile says: Post the oldest (as in the date it was downloaded) MP3 on your computer. An easy way to do this is to sort by “Date Modified” in iTunes. Mine is: Live - I Alone
Mine is Led Zeppelin- Dyer Maker. Downloaded 11/2/97. (update — found an older one — U2’s One, 10/8/97).
Elephant Paints Self PortraitI thought I liked elephants before, but WOWZA, now I really really like them. Also, I think this elephant is a better painter than me.
Am I the only skeptic here?
#We launched a new type of sponsorship on CH today. An advertiser gets a 3 second title card prior to the video and a 15 second post-roll for anybody who wants to stick around after the video and watch it. Also, there’s branding on the whole page. The first sponsor is AirTran.
I think what you see here typifies the compromise advertisers and web users will soon reach – creative that is minimally disruptive to the user experience, but still makes a big impression for the advertiser and provides 100% share of voice.
Well done Neil, Casey, Cohen, John, and Kunal.
