Cool Marketing Thoughts

Howdy readers, I’m back from Djerba! It was a wonderful trip, and I can recommend it to everybody who needs a break. I’ve had a great time, saw some really nice things and relaxed a lot. Truly, I’m reborn… All set to throw myself right into online life and life at the agency with tons of new energy.

I’ve been uploading a lot of pics to Flickr, and finally decided to pay for a pro account, because apparently the basic (free) account only lets you edit and manage 200 pictures, and I already passed that amount, but never actually realized that some older pictures were out of range. At first I thought I lost all the older pics I uploaded, but as soon as I upgraded, they were all back in sight. Which is great.

So, here are a few nice pics from the trip, the rest can be seen in the set, should you care.

I’ll write something more about the hotel in a future post, but only for the google juice because nobody actually ever wrote anything about the hotel and the pictures ‘out there’ really are of a crappy quality. As for ‘ad blogging’, I’ll get to it starting tomorrow.

Thanks, Randy and Nathan, for moderating the comments and looking after the blog. I really appreciate it. I’ll start ‘answering’ comments tomorrow and I’ll start replying to the 400+ emails as well. It’s going to be quite a busy couple of days :)

As for the people who included me in their ‘Blogday 2006′ list on August 31st, thank you very much! I’ll do an ‘after Blogday’ post somewhere this week and list up some blogs of which I think they’re worth mentioning.

I’m surprized the DMCA takedown notice got so spread out, and I’ll also answer the emails I’ve received about that. I’m glad the ad-community cares about it enough to talk about this unfortunate fact. I’ll do a post about that later this week as well. Probably tomorrow.

Right now, I could use some extra sleep because I’m starting to work again in the morning. I-merge, here I come :) – it sounds silly, but I’m actually looking forward to working again. Can’t wait to see what the guys at the agency have been doing, which new pitches I can start to work on… I kind of missed ‘the rush’, a bit. Not too much… but certainly a bit. while I was floating in the pool or sipping from a cocktail, I often wondered what they were doing, for a few seconds. :)
