It's been 25 years since I acquired my 1st generation IBM PC, with dual floppies, no hard drive + slime green monitor. Soon after, I bought my first "video game" - a text only InfoCom title based on Douglas Adams' Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy. The user navigated through the game clumsily ...

In today's paper was an insert ad for Future Shop (aka Best Buy)... lots of Compaq, HP, and Acer computers on sale... not a bad thing. But the WEIRD thing was... no mention of operating systems... no mention of Vista... Home Vista... Deluxe Vista... in fact the entire 16 page insert didn't ...

You're just sitting back right now sipping a Guinness, watching the snow fall outside (again!) and your Roomba 580 is hard at work sucking up the dog hair from your orange wall-2-wall shag! Meanwhile your evil teen punk kid is hangin' downtown with his no-good friends. Equally lazy... "what... me ...

See what happens when you blow people away?? They're left completely tongue-tied! This is an Isreali ad for Hyundai (not exactly known for its performance cars!) via advertolog [tags]exceeding-expectation, tongue-tied[/tags]

Björk Visits SensoryMetrics!

Iceland visits SensoryMetrics

Um, apologies to all, I may have been a little overzealous in announcing via this post that Björk has indeed been to this site.
