First Sunday of the NFL season and I am like a kid on Christmas morning. I actually woke up this morning and couldn't fall back to sleep. And helping me get all tingly for the big day, a new ad campaign by Nike -- Leave Nothing. I love the new TV spot with Shawn Merriman and Steven Jackson. It kind of has an NFL films vibe, but brings you in even closer. The spot, directed by Michael Mann is just a part of Nike's new campaign. They have a pretty cool interactive website too and will be launching print ads. Sadly though, Nike got one thing wrong...since their site is Flash I can't link directly to the high-res video and in fact I can't even link directly to any page except the home. Below is the YouTube version, but it really doesn't do this ad justice...so if you have the energy or the time check out Nike's Leave Nothing site and once you get through the intro click on the "see more action" button in the bottom left corner. I wish it was easier. Anyway, enjoy the ad and the start of the NFL season.9/9/07

Internet People
The other day I stumbled up a new video online -- I know shocking -- called Internet People, a wonderful tribute to the history of the viral video. (I think the only thing it is missing is Miss South Carolina and probably only because this video has been in production for awhile.) Wacthing this reminded me of so many hilarious videos I have watched on YouTube over the past few years. It's funny to thing that this "viral video" craze is still so young. I don't know if I should be proud or embarrassed that I pretty much get every internet phenonmenon this video references. Some of the videos, I even remember who sent them to me first and even where I watched them. Ah, the joy brought to us through this crazy series of tubes. So anyway, here is one more viral video to be passed a long...a tribute to viral videos. And it is no surprise that in the few days since this has been posted it's views have increased exponentially. Oh, and if you don't understand anything in this video, you have got a lot of catching up to do. Enjoy.
