I got that from Doc Searls and just shared it with my CMA Emarketing Class.  I'm showing them how easy it is to post to a blog.

This could be the first YouTube-based comedy I follow.  A great start.  Episode 2 was even better.

There's something very odd about this rabbit that lives in our backyard.  Whatever the hell that thing out front is I'm pretty certain it's not supposed to be there.  I mean Bugs Bunny didn't have one of those!

]]> The Poetry of Spam tag:vox.com,2006-11-16:asset-6a00c2251dae138e1d00cdf7e4dc16094f 2006-11-16T16:08:07Z 2006-11-16T16:08:07Z Ken Schafer http://kenschafer.vox.com/?_c=feed-atom-full

Because I use the wonderful SpamSieve on my Mac I rarely see any of the few hundred spam messages I get every day.  They just go straight to the Spam folder waiting to be deleted, unloved and unread.

One slipped through today with a Subject line that was ambiguous enough that I opened it.  Along with my "discount fharmacy" offer, I got this lovely little bit of stream-of-conciousness poetry:

Keep in touch, I said into my pinkie. Regular reports and sing out
if you see anything-anything at all.
Just as you say, boss.


I'm not sure but I think this Japanese Yahoo! Group is collecting these things.  Some are quite amazing.  They must  come from somewhere but they are bizarre enough to be generated by a clever script.  Interesting.

]]> WKRP on Change tag:vox.com,2006-11-05:asset-6a00c2251dae138e1d00cdf39c2c58cb8f 2006-11-05T14:01:52Z 2006-11-05T14:01:52Z Ken Schafer http://kenschafer.vox.com/?_c=feed-atom-full
WKRP Pilot - 2 of 3
WKRP Pilot - 2 of 3
WKRP was one of my favourite shows when I was a teen.  Hell, it's still one of my favourite shows.  Apparently it is unlikely that a DVD of series will ever appear because the show used real music in the on air scenes and getting rights clearances for all that music makes the show impractical.

Luckily YouTube doesn't have any of those issues.  :)

A bit of Sunday morning digging brought me to this scene - the mid-section of the pilot episode.  Like most pilots it is all expository stage setting.  We're introduced to the main characters quickly, shown their current state and what Andy Travis their newly hired Music Director has planned for them.

This scene has always resonated with me.  I fell in love with the show when Andy unrolled and pinned up a KISS poster as a way of telling the crew that changes were afoot.

Watch an enjoy. 

Oh, and I almost forgot, "booger".

]]> Hey I'm Blogging For My Class! tag:vox.com,2006-10-25:asset-6a00c2251dae138e1d00ccff8998816731 2006-10-25T23:14:00Z 2006-10-25T23:14:01Z Ken Schafer http://kenschafer.vox.com/?_c=feed-atom-full

To me, the only way to explain a blog is to actually show how you blog.

So that's what I'm doing for my CMA marketing class right now.

Joey and Ross started this thing called BlogACatmas 3 years ago.  Now with the fourth BlogACatmas upon us (today is the day!) I thought I'd honor that fine old blogging tradition and post a kitty pic.

This slightly demonic fellow looked like he really wanted to be on a blog but just didn't know how to ask.  So here you go little guy.

(Actually, all cats look demonic to me.)

Now if I can only get Ross to forgive me for commercializing the holiday and losing its true spirit by thinking it needed a permanent home at catmas.com.  :)
