    111 human "pixels" recreate Pac Man in a stop motion animation. Oh so nerdy.

    It will only be necessary to carry an inexpensive instrument not bigger than a watch, which will enable its bearer to hear anywhere on sea or land for distances of thousands of miles.”

    Well worth watching as a glimpse (pun intended) into how new computing interfaces are blowing technology wide open - even if you're not an Apple fangirl. From the video:

    "To this technical-ninny it's clear in my compromised 100th year, that to read and to write are again within sight of this Apple iPod pioneer"

    Jane Quigley (@jquig99 on Twitter) snapped a shot of me wearing my new microMARKETING custom Nike's for the first time. These kicks match the book jacket (kinda) and are super comfortable. And no, my jeans aren't that short - I was hiking the legs so the custom inscription would show.

    My take on Buzz so far? *yawn*

    But we'll see. In the meantime, if Google hasn't turned you on yet, you missed the announcement or haven't yet grown tired of the knee-jerky blog posts alternately slamming it as lame or presenting it as a social media game changer, this here is Google's official demo clip that shows how the thang works.

    All y'all probably know Facebook turned six last week. This handy dandy infographic from Mashable captures all the fun and funky stats about the site. It's pretty much illegible as an embed but you can click to Mashable and get to the full size image for the deets.

    Killer highlight reel of 1983's most awe-inspiring new gadgets: from portable cassette decks and palm-sized TVs to betamax recorders and (wait for it) personal robots "literally with minds of their own." Where do I get in line for one of those?

    Bonus points for perms and special effects.

    My name is Greg Verdino. I'm a marketer, writer and speaker currently working as VP/Strategy & Solutions at Powered. My book, microMARKETING hits shelves on August 13, 2010. When I procrastinate by surfing the web or manage to step away from the computer and get outside for a few minutes, some of what I find ends up here.
