Not Dead Yet (from Spam-a-Lot)

Subtitled 60 down 60 to go

So... turned 60 just about two weeks ago, been busy since.
Put aside the "to-do" list (mostly) for the day.

Catching up some today and find myself firing up the iTV Shirley got me, deciding to download/watch "Battlestar Galactica ( someone recommended it... I remember the original, with Loren Green! ), playing some Bill Evans/Jim Hall while waiting, multitasking by reading BusinessWeek :

Children Of The Web:

THE FUTURE OF TECH -- GLOBAL YOUTH

How the second-generation Internet is spawning a global youth culture--and what business can do to cash in

It's a simple sales pitch, really: Hey, dude, spray Axe deodorant all over your body, and you will become irresistible to beautiful young women. But what Russell Taylor, the Axe vice-president, proposed doing with that straightforward idea was ambitious. He wanted to turn it into a truly global marketing message, one that would work in all 75 countries where Unilever (UN ) sells Axe. The solution that came back from advertising agency BBH was to invent a new phrase that guys would hear as an international expression of lust—a female wolf whistle heard 'round the world."

Hey ... been using Axe bodywash for a few months:


Hip by accident? (note Axe logo a bit worn)

I may not IM often, don't have MySpace/FaceBook pages (yet?) but do try to stay "in tune" with some trends.

Note that all of the above (music, video downloading, photo editing) was with my old G4 Powerbook, although the clock cycles did get a bit overwhelmed from time to time ... upgrade time???
