Personally, I find the Madrid and Tokyo the most expressive and indicative of the geography they represent. The Madrid logo in particular includes some of that Spanish love of life and humanity that permeates that nation. The multicolored hand seems fun to me – vibrant – exciting.
The Tokyo entrant with its rising sun clearly indicates where the games will be held. Tokyo’s ribbon ‘tying’ the world togther is a nice touch I feel.
Chicago’s logo seems bland to me. I see no risks and needed to be educated that the star at its center is a ‘chicago’ star featured on the city’s flag.
Rio? Meh.
The Doha (Qatar), Baku (Azerbijian) and Praha (Prague, Czech Republic) did not make it to the final four.
It had been years – literally – since I had dipped my toes into the sand, felt the sting of the salt water in my eyes, and felt the tired satisfaction of having spent the day bobbing amongst the swell. It was nice to be in a locale once again where wearing a guayabera is deemed perfectly acceptable attire.
I bought your HP Mini netbook under the assumption I would be able to connect it to a monitor for presentation purposes. However, since purchasing said netbook (which I’m quite happy with btw), I have been unable to obtain the cable necessary to perform the connection mentioned above. One of the main selling points for netbooks is their small form factor which makes traveling and doing computer aided presentations a breeze.
I kindly request that you please make more of these cables, or that you fix whatever problems may be inherent to said cables. Otherwise, I may be forced to dump the netbook on e-bay and purchase a competitor’s product. That in turn would leave a bad taste in my mouth vis-a-vis your brand and chances are I would not be apt to purchase an HP product in the future.
I recommend taking a moment and watching this video. Play it full screen. It’s magical and helped recharge my spirit today. Its snippets like this from distant corners of the world that often amaze me again and again in how powerful the internets can be.
Through July 20, Florida marlins SS Hanley Ramirez is leading the majors with a .348 batting average, leads all SS’s with 62 RBI’s, and is in the top 10 across the majors in a mix of other important batting statistics. He’s currently the number one ranked SS in all the majors for fantasy leagues as well.
After being swept by division leading Philly this past weekend, the Marlins have bounced back with two straight wins on the west coast against San Diego. It will be crucial for the marlins to keep the Philly lead to around 5 games in my opinion if they are to remain relevant come September.
I received a confirmation of my online order from MyCubanStore.com today. Embedded within the email was a code snippet they asked that I post to my blog or social profile. This is the first time I’ve been sent some actual code to post. Here is the resulting snippet below…
I wonder what percentage of individuals have even a vague notion of what to do with HTML code or am I giving myself more credit than is due because there is a growing familiarity with HTML and related web technologies to the point where copy/pasting code to one’s personal website isn’t beyond common knowledge now?!?

Rob lives and works in the town of Jackson, MS where he leads the interactive department at an awesome advertising and branding agency. Life is slower than most places in Mississippi, and Rob tends to like it that way. Some of his favorite life experiences include sailing across the Atlantic Ocean in a 44ft sloop, learning to speak Swahili while living along the lower slopes of Mt. Kilimanjaro, and zipping along the curviest of Mississippi country roads in his VW Rabbit.
