'tis the season to make the internet

it's always nice to feel that something you do at work actually helps someone out..
i find that is sometimes a bit of a stretch when you work in the world of advertising, usually trying to stuff something down ye consumer's throat (or pants if you work for a porn site).
i'm proud to say that i actually feel like a project we worked on is giving back a little.

nothing super crazy about this site, fairly simple execution, but fun enough to play with a few times... or so you'd think.
this site has been going for about a week and a half, and it's had (as of 4:14pm PST on Dec 20) 531,665 'interactions'.
pretty incredible really.
and the best part is that BC Hydro has committed to donate $25 grand to a local BC Children's hospital.

makes ya feel all warm inside....
oops, sorry, that's copy for the porn site i'm working on next.

From Russia with Roulette

i like to party...., and i'd try anything once....(well, maybe not everything).
but there are certain things that just don't tempt me.
never been a big fan of pain, so put the whips and chains away, honey.
never really understood the whole autoerotic asphyxiation scene...., (see Michael Hutchence for that shiz).
and, quite frankly, i don't 'get off' with the thought of potentially 'offing' myself....unlike Mark Ruffalo's brother.
who?
Mark Ruffalo, you know the guy.., in those movies... - "Zodiac," "Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind," and this year's "Blindness."
well, Mark's bro, let's call him The Zohan, was into the whole gun play scene...
after a 'friend' of his was charged with shooting him, it became apparent today that it was all just one big misunderstanding:

BEVERLY HILLS, Calif. - A day after actor Mark Ruffalo's brother died of a gunshot wound to the head, a lawyer for the woman arrested in the case says she was merely a witness to a game of Russian Roulette.
Scott Ruffalo, 39, died late Monday night at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles, Beverly Hills Police Sgt. Renato Moreno said.
Authorities continued Tuesday to investigate the role of Shaha Mishaal Adham, 26, who turned herself in to police Monday after authorities issued a warrant for her arrest for investigation of attempted murder.
Adham's initial court appearance was scheduled for Wednesday.
Her attorney downplayed her role late Tuesday, telling the New York Daily News that she witnessed Scott Ruffalo shoot himself during a game of Russian Roulette. Ronald Richards told the newspaper that Adham had gone to Scott Ruffalo's condo to pick up a set of keys and fled after the shooting.

I'd always thought that 'Russian Roulette' was simply a myth you hear in high school, like teachers having sex with students, and band geeks running the school...
apparently i was wrong.

so kids, if i can give you any advice at all....
put down those guns and start nailing your teachers!!
i can't wait to be a father.....
