I'm sitting here after dinner and @askfrasco is setting next to me on the couch. I asked her if she played flash games online. "Not really" she said. So I told her about one fun game, Grow. Have a look for yourself. Once you play it 2 or 3 times you will get it, and then you can spend hours on the different games. Enjoy free flash games!
At Webcom I gave an interview after my talk about the virtual immortality project. It goes on for a while, but it was a fun interview to do.

I really loved the new campaign that Universal Music Group has put out. It starts with a segment from Lady GaGa "Poker Face". When you see the video on youtube it explains very easily that you must try to play the game. What is the game?
Watch 20 sec. of Universal Music Videos of artists and answer a trivia question of what you saw.
There are some great roots in the Viral and I suspect that the agency saw some viral hits like this awareness test video.
Test Your Awareness: Do The Test
Did you enjoy that? UMG feels it can capitalize on that idea and sell records. Great, do it. However It would be a HELL of a lot easier to spread this if they allowed people to at least embed the first video (the entry level) onto thier blogs, facebooks, etc. I'll put it in old school marketing terms for ya UMG so you understand. The first video in this sequence of interactively linked Youtube videos which create a game needs to have a point of entry. Not just people search Lady GAGA on youtube. Allow the mebed and it turns into an old school banner! You will not endanger the copyright more, you will not be loosing out. You will gain by opening up. Of course I admit I am proud of you for taking these first steps. Very good, you have your training wheels on now. Time for dad to take them off and push you down the hill. What are you afraid you will get hurt UMG?
There is a guilty pleasure that really comes out in Flickr. Anonymous voyeruism. I noticed that some complete strangers have been faving certain pictures of mine for some time now. I could not figure out whether it was a stalker, or just some sad lonely person as there is nothing in the profiles to understand who it is. Then after digging deeper I think I discovered it. It is like a game almost. In my search for why or what it is... I discovered the stories. Clicking randomly on commenters, seeing thier favorites and making huge leaps and jumps starting from my own anonymous voyeuers, I begin to make a story together. A weaving through the reaches of cyberspace, to create a story in my head, based on the click of the mouse and my own A.D.D. to guide me. Here is a small glimpse into the stories you can piece together.
MAke your own story, and let me see.... Add a link in the comments.
I have my first Dailybuzz with Mobuzz show online now. I'm still trying to find a nice style for the show, but Anil said to really be myself and not try to be Olivia, so I did that. I'm not sure what the Mobuzz fans will think, but at least there will be little to compare as we have 2 completely different styles. Some will kike it, some will hate it and some won't care either way I think. That's how it goes. I'm curious what you all think. So far it's been real fun and we are thinking of all kinds of new things to do with the show. I'm really excited about it. The team is great, the city is fun, the job is good for me, now the public reaction is what I'm waiting to see. Cheers!
