Here we have yet another benefit of working in advertising. Lisa Loeb just held a private concert at my office. (What? I Know!) Unfortunately our office bar (!) is really cramped and I had a ton of work to do. So yeah, I couldn’t stay.
Ouch…
After the jump are some of the worst camera phone pictures [...]

PINKO DAILY BRIEFS: Headed to the airport (so limited blogging today) but quickly … we’re heartened to hear that convicted felon and Republican bad guy Ted Stevens in Alaska is now losing his Senate race, as they continue to count votes. This could be one more Democratic seat, so blue “up there” in Alaska, as [...]

We have been accused of “over sharing” here at pinko on many, many occasions. It’s high time we took it to the next level. After some serious nudging from PinkoErik, we’ve signed up for twitter. Now you can “follow us” or whatever while we tweet.
Tweet? Seriously? Am I saying that right?
We’re not exactly sure yet [...]

I’m a size 9.5 men’s.
If you didn’t already know, I have a bit of a thing for sneakers. No really. I have a whole website dedicated just to my sneaker collection. The biggest problem though is that most people who share my love for sneakers don’t share my love for cute and fuzzy animals (or [...]

Yesterday Pinko reader Ying-sun encouraged me to show some love for San Francisco Giants pitcher Tim Lincecum, who won the National League Cy Young Award. I looked him up and decided that he just wasn’t hot enough for a shout-out. Don’t get me wrong, I love baseball and have written glowingly in this space about [...]

I don’t know. Call me a skeptic but I’m from Maryland and I have followed politics there pretty closely, so I kept track of Republican Michael Steele when he was briefly Lieutenant Governor. I feel pretty confident in saying he didn’t accomplish much, and that he hewed closely to an extremely conservative point of view [...]

As I mentioned on Saturday those Nature’s Path pop tarts were unreal. Far more real, in a bad way? Annie’s Organic Bunny Fruit snacks. Maybe I’m biased … when I was in the co-op in college there was this annoying person who used to blow all our money on “Bunny Pasta,” and she would just [...]

Peter Brantley, Executive Director for the Digital Library Federation, has a post about the Flickr set of candid election night shots from the Obama campaign that makes an interesting observation…
Up until this presidency, documentation such as the photoshoot routinely went en masse into archives, where it later established the basis for the Presidential Library. However, [...]

PINKO DAILY BRIEFS: Remember how Starbucks used to be inevitable? The poster child for globalization and homogenous living and it couldn’t be stopped?  Also how I couldn’t stop having those peppermint mochas at Christmas I’m sorry! Yesterday the released an earnings report and profits fell 97% last quarter! That’s a shitload. Partly it’s because of the [...]

Last week the Democrats won all over the place, but Barack Obama is still a few Senators short of the magic “60 seats” in the Senate needed to get through a range of really bold policy changes. There is a big chance to get closer, and to boot out a genuinely terrible person in the [...]
