Did Nike Hit the Fairway or Slice into the Rough...
Did you get a good look at that? I mean a really good look, take a minute to re-watch a couple of times in 1080p full screen. What is the message that Nike is trying to convey with this spot? Nike, is true to their word, unlike other sponsors including Accenture, Gillette, and AT&T that said they would stay faithful to Woods and then abandoned ship. Nike isn’t happy that Tiger went...

Great Ad from Burger King
I saw this commercial for the first time over the weekend and all I could think was “Wow, that’s _really_ gutsy”. So would I try the new BK Breakfast Sandwich? Sure I’d give it a try, but just as a Tim’s Bagel B.E.L.T. is good, it feels like your cheating on McDonald’s. Posted via email from Lucas Walker’s posterous | Comment »

How do You Know You've Made it as a Company?
It’s one thing to own a logo, everyone knows what the Coca-Cola, Disney, and London Underground logos look like. Some companies make slogans famous, sometimes as short as one word like 7-Up and “Un-Cola”. It takes a truly remarkable company to claim ownership to a single letter however, and not just on the stock market.There are a few examples of this, if you think of anymore...

Half Baked Idea #7861
Incorporate some paraolympic games into the regular olympics.
It wouldn’t be that hard to have a few more people in the opening ceremonies, and it would help prove that people with physical challenges are able to compete at a high level as well. A lot of winter paraolympic games look challenging and competitive like downhill skiing, and sledge hockey? And wheel chair curling, I’m...
Half Baked Idea #5308
With more and more possible employers, family members and those you just generally don’t want to offend on Twitter, watching what you say in public internet areas is getting more important than when it was just your college buddies, and friends you met on the/b/ who you had on your social networks.
Enter half baked idea #5308. Make it possible to create a Twitter list labeled...

The Super Bowl Subway Slam Down
Inspired by Bill Simmons and Cousin Sal have to beat the loser for a minute with a Subway footlong sub, my good Friend Scott Chayko and I commissioned a series of prop bets. The winner gets to pummel and berate the loser with a Subway footlong sandwich priced at $20 or less in Younge and Dundas square. The loser pays for Subway sandwich.
Once this happens, likely at some-point over the summer a...
Why is Blogging so Hard?
So this is probably my 150th blog that I’ve started, up. While others have had a specific theme, this one is just my pointless ramblings. I thought a lack of structure would be conducive to writing, but I couldn’t have been more wrong. I’ve been thinking about why I haven’t been blogging 3 posts a day and I’ve come to a few conclusions as to why blogging is so hard.

Monster Beats by Dre - Mini Review
My big present this Christmas was a pair of the studio edition Monster Beats by Dre. These are a top of the line pair of headphones, so I did some research before picking them up. I have had them for almost a month now, and after exchanging my first pair this is what I have come to conclude.
Noise Canceling. I don’t know if there are little elves in the headphones, but noise canceling is...

A Bad Time to be a Toronto Sports Fan
Recently a friend asked me if I had seen the TSN Sports Centre the top ten Toronto sports moments of the decade, I said I had not and we went on to try and name ten legitimate sports accomplishments of the decade. We could not do it, so broken down by team here they are:
The Leafs making the playoffs pre-lock and getting to the second round, this is not something to really call an...
