Questionable Tradeshow Swag

Who were the ad wizards that came up with this one?

Apparently a company (that shall go unnamed) has been handing out branded mini-sharpies at tradeshows. I’ve seen the mini sharpies before, and hadn’t noticed any resemblance. At least someone had to point it out to me, right?

I think the nice, healthy, gangrene color is what makes it really funny.

Isn’t all lotion stress relieving when applied properly?

This is a test post from flickr, a fancy photo sharing thing.

This is a helluva slick trick. :)

Quickfire messages with Mail.app:

“I often want to send a quick Mail.app message while I am working in another app. I can switch to Mail, start a new message and type in the recipient’s name, or I can find a faster way.

Hawk Wings reader Joshua Keay emailed me his method of doing this quickly. He created a file that is a text clippiing with the “mailto:” tag at the beginning of it.”

I tried to make the same thing happen for a blank Safari window, but no such luck. I’ll have to work on it more. Worst case, a local blank HTML file will do the trick.
