The new Hitchhiker’s Trailer is out!
If you don’t know what “hitchhiker’s” is, you don’t deserve to be reading this post. Move along now.

There, good.
Seriously, though, the first trailer was crap. This trailer, though, was excellent and totally in keeping with the spirit of the books. Not only that, but it was funny. […]

As I mentioned a year ago, I’m a sucker for a good Superbowl ad.
Last year I found a site that had previews of them before they aired. No such luck this year. I’ll be updating this page later today with my favourites from the event.
To get the festivities started, here’s the banned GoDaddy ad.
ps: […]

Loved the boardroom. PM brings the marketing guy who failed and a “safe guy” who the PM thought would support him. In the end all 3 of them failed the team massively.
Overall, it was better than any episode in Season 2. Good job. I’ll keep watching. Last season I’d regularly skip portions of episodes for […]

The task was quite simple: choose a burger, market it and then sell it.
Book Smarts assigned a poor individual as the marketer. The project manager didn’t reign him in, didn’t confront him and overall simply let everyone do what they needed to do. Poorly.
Street Smarts had a motivational project manager, who helped everyone stay in […]

Cool. So, 2 teams. Split down the middle based on whether or not they have a degree.
Team 1: “Book Smarts”. Name: Magna Corp (Magna Cum Laude). Includes an ex Microsoftie (Verna), several Harvard grads (where do they breed these people) and a bunch of real estate folk.
Team 2: “Street Smarts”. Name: Networth Incorporated (they had […]

The second season was one of the worst seasons of any show in TV history (including the 4th season of Jerry Springer). It had promise: bigger challenges, better sponsors and a larger pool of candidates.
The problem is that the people were crap, and the old formula didn’t work because there weren’t any memorable moments or […]

What a crap task? “Here’s 1000$, do something dog related”.
What happened to the big tasks? Challenging tasks? Getting people off the streets and into meetings? Multi-day tasks so you could strategize and market one day and then sell the next?
No, this task came down to who could wash dogs fastest. Pathetic.
I thought last week’s was […]

I watched The Biggest Loser earlier this week. I know there’s been all kinds of “controversy” from “fat advocates” saying the show is demeaning. While that may be true, it is also reality: each of these contestants wants to lose weight. Wanting to lose weight, and therefore seeking out something which is motivational isn’t a […]

Okay, Aaron liked it. That helps, because his review gave me some perspective:
CSI:NY brings a new element to the table - Psychological Thriller.
Okay, if that’s what it’s aiming for, great.
Let’s go back a bit though, back to the pilot review that was launched from CSI: Miami:
Okay, the show’s over, and you know what? […]
