Bringing the great outdoors, indoors. Sorry, no mosquitoes allowed.

Ah, camping. An American past time as American as apple pie and baseball. While most families enjoy partaking in camp fire grilled hotdogs and s’mores while kicking it old school at the campground – there are many who are and will be “camping” in a very different kind of way this summer. More >>

Here’s a cool mobile campaign founded on something the phone is used for, anyway. The campaign utilizes the large digital screens in Hong Kong International Airport, to let travelers say goodbye to loved ones by using their mobile phones to post photos of themselves with goodbye messages on the big screens. Created by Hyperfactory, on behalf of Motorola.

What’s Extra in the Extra! Extra! News Biz

There’s nothing quite like unrolling the newspaper in the morning, having a cup of coffee, getting newsprint all over your hands, and wrestling with those big-ass pages while you try to eat your oat bran. The newspaper is a part of culture that is weird, outdated, and absolutely fabulous. Hopefully, it will never go the way of the eight-track. But a little something extra to go with all that recycling-bin filler has become de rigeuer, according to Center for Media Research. Today, 92% of America’s topp 100 newspapers offer video on their websites. 39 papers offer original video content! 93 papers offer RSS partial text feeds, and no papers have begun embedding advertisements in their RSS feeds. And 67 papers even allow comments on articles, which is cool. Certainly can’t line the bird-cage with that.

Microchips are now fixed to car windshields as toll-paying devices, on “contactless” payment cards. They’re embedded in Michelin tires, library books, passports, work uniforms, luggage, and, unbeknownst to many consumers, on a host of individual items, from Hewlett Packard printers to Sanyo TVs, at Wal-Mart and Best Buy.?Ǭ† Now, you can have one implanted in your arm. Read on.

7-7-7

I avoid walking under ladders, never toast with water, and am even known to throw salt over my shoulder now and again. I braced myself, ready for the luck that was sure to come my way on this 7/7/7, the Luckiest Day of the Year.?Ǭ† I came up snake-eyes. On the other hand, it was a great day for my dog, Blue. A bird flew over us while we were on our morning walk. Blue jumped up in the air and caught the bird in one clean mouthful. Now that was PURE 7-7-7.?Ǭ†?Ǭ† For those of you who didn’t catch a bird in your mouth today: We are capable of creating our own reality– of using the things the universe puts in our path, no luck necessary.

Just when we thought Buff Monster had gone high-falutin’- gallery-style on us, we found this bit of treasure on one of L.A.’s streets.?Ǭ† Thanks to Rudy for spotting it, and to the Official Frank #1 for screeching to a stop to get the pix. Tried to peel it off for keeps, but no dice. Maybe next time…
