William Shatner on MySpace
William Shatner has made his MySpace debut in his capacity as The Priceline Negotiator for Priceline. I don’t know if I should make friends with the former Captain Kirk (who also now has a local TV commerical for a law firm in Little Rock, AR), or FINALLY defect from MySpace for Space Book.
What can you do on the site? Loads of stuff. Check these out:
Negotiator ringtones. Choose from the Falcon of Truth screech, the distinctive Price Line ring, the Negotiator theme, or one of the signature …

Yelo Sleep Therapy in NYC
When I heard about Yelo’s power nap sleep therapy in the “YeloCab” pod from Fly Away Cafe, the pods people were stored in in The Matrix were what came to mind.
What is Yelo? Yelo is a “wellness center” in NYC. The center offers the YeloNap, which are power naps billed in 5 minute increments from 20 to 40 minutes. As a die-hard insomniac, I couldn’t even fall asleep in that short of a time so I won’t be trying the place out.
What is a YeloCab? …

Vacation is Good for You
Boy howdy am I glad to hear that. Noone has ever needed to persuade me to take a few weeks off each year for vacation, but apparently 25% of Americans need a little nudge. They seem to believe their work schedules are too demanding to allow a little time off for R & R. The Vacation Gap, a study recently performed by Air New Zealand, has found that an overwhelming amount of workers are more productive if they DO take some personal time. Now, I’m sure Air New …

Personalized Bobble Heads - The Second to Last Edition of the Dreaded Client Christmas Gifts
Personalized bobble head dolls. What do I mean by that? I don’t mean some person at the bobble head factory takes a mass produced bobble head that fits your avatar description of “brown hair, blue eyed female” and puts your name at the bottom. I mean, this company takes a picture you supply and creates the bobble head’s head from that picture. There are lots of bobble head bodies to choose from, or you can create your own for a small premium. How cool is that?
The hardest thing …

Mad Maps Offers Interstate Alternatives and Scenic Day Trips
Mad Maps offers travelers an alternative to the normal 70 mph on the interstate just to get from point A to point B travel with its new series of maps of scenic day trips outside of several US cities. We sometimes find ourselves in cities with an afternoon to spare. That being the case, why don’t you take your rental car for a spin on the back roads to see some of the country you may otherwise never have a chance to visit. Mad Maps offers “day trips” outside …

Twisted Sister Christmas CD - Update on Client Christmas Presents
Twisted Sister, the super cool heavy metal 80’s band, has a new Christmas CD called Twisted Christmas, I found out watching VH1 this morning. By this morning I mean about 2:00am, NOT 8 or 9 like normal people. This might be the greatest Christmas compilation known to man. Generally, I despise 80’s music with a fiery passion, but there are 4 exceptions. Those being Prince, Guns N’ Roses, the Beasty Boys and Twisted Sister.
If you have clients in their late 20’s to mid …

Travel Jobs: Chivas Life Ambassador for Chivas Regal Scotch Whiskey
This is the coolest travel job I’ve seen so far (closely followed by the Chief Beer Officer for Starwood Hotels). The Chivas Life Ambassadors are hired as a team of two to represent Chival Regal and “seek out extraordinary moments in inspiring locations.” The pair travels the world searching for The Chivas Life moments and events and reports their adventures on chivascircle.com. So basically, it’s a really well paid blogging job. The pair is appointed for 1 year, so you won’t retire doing this job. What do you get for all of your hard efforts globe trotting for fun? $200,000 USD. That’s some serious cabbage.
Job Requirements: You have to be outgoing, passionate, at least 25 years old, able to work in the US and APPLY AS A PAIR. I think that’s the hard part. I couldn’t find anyone to apply for the Amazing Race with me, I doubt I could find anyone to apply for this job. If anyone needs a pair, I think I could probably be persuaded to sign up. I’m pretty much free for the next year. They’re looking for: “abilities regarding communication, creative problem solving, public speaking skills and zeal for the task at hand.”
