If a bird chirps in the forest and no one’s around to hear it, is it really chirping at all? Sorry, just bastardizing a quote since it appears Twitter.com is borked/totally offline.

And, as of yesterday, The LOC blog “…has been nominated as a finalist for the “SXSW Web Awards” (in the “blog” category). [...]

From my mom (thanks for the link — this is cool!) – “The site’s in Dutch, but wait several seconds and watch what happens: http://producten.hema.nl/” Hint: think Rube Goldberg, or more recently (2003), Honda’s “Cog” viral ad (watch).

I won’t include the company’s name (yet), as I am still holding out a thin hope that they’ll finally come through. Suffice it to say, this is a company that I’ve dealt with on a professional level for years. I send them customers and web traffic, thereby making them money, and I receive a small [...]
