Mr. Unfortunately Timed Advertising Writer

The Bud Light radio commercials called "Real Men of Genius" have been running for a few years now. Before 9/11, however, they used to be called "Real American Heroes". Oops. Don't want to bring levity to a terrorist act or war...

They had a new round of ads going into last week. One of the new "Real Men of Genius" was "Mr. Paranoid of the Ocean Guy". I wonder if we'll hear that anymore after three shark attacks in as many days. It's not paranoia if they're really out to get you.

Here's a link to MP3s of all of the ads (they are funny): http://www.ksilebo.com/realamerican/

Update: I heard the "Paranoid of the Ocean Guy" ad on the way home today. So much for my theories. Also, links to shark attacks here, here, and here.

Three shark attacks??? I haven't heard anything about it . . . of course I don't watch the news or read the newspaper either. Where were they?

P.S. I love reading your blog. It's always interesting and funny.

They were all in Florida, so no worries. Oh, and thanks!

Why Do I Do This?

I was originally inspired by the Web log posted on the site for Propellerhead Software. They developed a cool 808 emulator which eventually morphed into an entire digital audio workstation package (Reason). Those early posts documented their development process and gave a human insight into their struggles. It was cool. So, I bought some hosted space and figured out FrontPage to put a rudimentary site together. My goal was to connect my family, but then realized this could be a great way for me to keep track of happenings over time. Eventually, the manual, HTML journal gave way to this Blogger setup - much easier to deal with, and not bound to one computer.

Ultimately, this is more about nothing than an episode of Seinfeld, but I appreciate that you've read this far. Really.
