1001 Classic Commercials

OK, I’ll admit it. My husband and are big ol’ dorks. Since we don’t have any kids (yet), we buy each other presents from our two cats (Miko and Izzie) on holidays normally reserved for human parents. This year, my furry babies knew exactly what I wanted for Mother’s Day: the DVD “1001 Classic Commercials” from the $4.99 value bin at Borders.

That’s right folks, 16 hours of vintage television commercials crammed into three discs. For less than five bucks. Now that’s advertising heaven.

So far I’ve watched a grand total of 47 old school beverage commercials, which has resulted in an overwhelming urge to find some Shasta Black Cherry Cola. Only 954 more commercials to go.

A Love Poem for Web Geeks

Mother’s Day is May 9th. Did you buy your momma a greeting card yet? If not, why don’t you write her a heartfelt poem instead. Of course, you don’t want to default to the awful “roses are red, violets are blue” cliché, but what if you jazzed it up a bit… perhaps “roses are #FF0000, violets are #333399″?

Looking for a gift idea, too? Why not get mom the matching t-shirt so she can show the world her love of hexadecimal colors. When people ask her where she got it, she’ll joyfully respond, “From my child. The biggest dork in the whole world.”
