(m)Apple in the Simpsons

Look and laugh with this apple spoof in the Simpsons. I think it’s quite funny. It satirize the "I must have too" attitude many apple customers show :)

I especially enjoyed the spoof of the 1984 spot. This spot announced the Macintosh and was only broadcaster once (in daytime) during the 1984 superbowl. The spot was directed by Ridley Scott and was a clear revelation at the time. Enjoy it once more!

The 25 Basic Styles of Blogging … And When To Use Each One

Steven | Random Thoughts | Friday, 05 December 2008

I bumped on this Ogilvy post recently. Don’t ask me how, the presentation embedded is almost 2 years old. Although in my mind a bit outdated, it maps out quite nicely the different kinds of blogging. The classification is based on 3 factors: number of posts per week, buzz index and difficulty.

Sadly enough I can’t decided what type of blogger I would be. I guess my goal is to be an "insight blogger" (following their classification) because what I really want to do with this blog is share insights and original ideas. Although I don’t agree for this kind of blogger you need to blog as frequent as 5 times a week (it won’t harm obviously) I know I’m far from there! But I’ll aim for it!
