Persistence

So what can Michael Phelps, Seth Godin and this Tree teach you? To be persistent. To not quit. To adapt. To evolve and yet keep going.

Persistence isn’t using the same tactics over and over. That’s just annoying

Persistence is having the same goal over and over
- Seth Godin

Sure you could trade all the stress of running your own company and having to deal with clients for the temporary security and comfort of getting a job and an average “secure” salary, but I believe that people who are willing to make that trade, deserve neither.

I don’t think there is anything more important in today’s world than to be persistent and keep moving forward. Your clients, employees and the economy will thank you for it. Take my word for it.

Michael phelps before and after

Believe it or not, the pale kid sitting on his speedos is no other than the greatest Olympian of all time, Michael Phelps. Isn’t amazing what 8,000 to 10,000 calories a day can do to your body? And no, your eyes are not lying to you, the picture on the right does look like a Photoshop Disaster.

Juanma Manga style This is pretty cool actually. Remember all that fun you had when the viral “Create your own Simpson character” website launched last summer? Well, this is similar, only instead of the Matt-Groening style avatar, you get a Japanese-Comic-Book style avatar, which in my book, is equally awesome.

So I predict in the next few hours, you’ll start seeing Japanese style avatar everywhere. Hurry! Go get yours while they still look… original. Which means you have about 20 minutes. Aaaand GO!

Michael Phelps

With all the buzz around Michael Phelps’s AMAZING race to become the winningest Olympian ever AND after his uh-mazing performance last night, I thought it would be a great opportunity to show you what the Olympic Medals actually looks like, that is in case you haven’t seen them already.

I remember back in 1997 everyone used either Lycos or Yahoo. The obligatory question back then was not if you “got online yet”, it was “Do you Yahoo?” and if you didn’t happened to know the answer to that question then you probably didn’t know what the Internet was all about. But then there were a few of us, who didn’t like Lycos nor Yahoo at all and instead, we liked HotBot. No, we actually LOVED HotBot. I mean, it was fast, cool, straight forward and it was designed by Jeffrey Veen. WHAT’S NOT TO LOVE?. Then in 1998 Lycos bought HotBot so we went back to square zero: you either had to use Yahoo, Lycos or HotBot by Lycos. Of course there were others like Metacrawler and Altavista, but they shared a minority of the traffic pie.

Stop the press! This is HUGE, the moment we’ve all been waiting for, the moment where the Redmond-based company would strikes back and strike HARD.

Microsoft this week offered a window into the first phase of a mega million dollar advertising campaign designed to clear up ‘misconceptions’ about the quality of its Windows Vista operating system exacerbated by in-your-face marketing efforts on the part of longtime rival Apple.

That’s right people, go get your popcorn and soda cause THIS is the real battle: forget Batman vs. Joker, McCain vs. Obama, McCain vs. McCain, no, this the real deal (insert Celebrity Deadthmatch intro song here): Apple’s “I’m a Mac” Campaign vs. Microsoft’s “Indisputable Historic Events” Campaign. I’m sorry, I just fell asleep. * yawn *

After the huge success with their “Internet Commenter Business Meeting” short, the boys at CollegeHumor are back with another great video: The Font Conference. If you ever wondered how Wingdings looked in real life, well now you know.

No Fun Allowed!

Santa Fe is one of the prettiest places in the New Mexico and everytime I visit our Albuquerque Offices, it’s always a treat to drive up north and walk around the town, but, the town once known for his famous art galleries and great mix of cultures, might now be known for their “electro-sensitive people”.
