This is a great idea. ExpenseASteak.com is site for the steakhouse Maloney & Porcelli that spits out fake receipts in the exact amount of your bill for things like taxis and gluesticks. [Via AdAge]
Great idea! Let’s make this viral enough that is scares the expense report gods. What I’d give to not have to save/tape those receipts again…

Bravo to the New York Times for this new kind of journalism - their "interactive feature." *THIS* is how to adapt to the web! «

Wise words from mikehudack @ blip:
This is fantastic. I constantly find myself on the verge of major sleep debt, and do everything I can to avoid it. I went home early yesterday and crashed out at nine. Woke up at 6:30 this morning without an alarm feeling refreshed and ready to take on the world. I will get more done today than I would get done during three days while sleep impaired.
This is why I’m constantly reminding everyone at blip that we’re engaged in a marathon and not a sprint. No one should try to be the hero who pulls all nighters all the time. Having to pull an all nighter is an admission of failure. You should do your nine to eleven hours per day, go home, get a good night’s sleep, and come back refreshed. If you find yourself too stressed out or too tired (and you’re not always the best judge of this) you should take a day off and come back rested. You’ll make fewer mistakes, be more efficient, and do better work in general.
I feel like sleep and stress are two things that most start-ups manage very poorly. Lack of sleep and high stress come with the environment. But they can be effectively managed and they should be effectively managed.
Words of wisdom for the eternal learning process that is work/life balance.

Fifty clever, daring, or otherwise thought-provoking billboards from around the world (at least one of which is also fake).
Cool stuff…but who uses billboards anymore? :)

I love Seth Godin
“How come some people can visit a place like New York and see a thousand amazing things, take hundreds of great photos (like Thomas Hawk) or even write a novel… and other people visit, eat at Applebee’s and send home a John Lennon postcard? It’s not where you go, it’s what you look for.” - Seth Godin
I just snagged this quote from an AdAge interview with Seth Godin about what inspires him for his daily blog posts. I must admit, I don’t think there’s a ton of insight in the article, but it does show Godin’s genius, as always. His amazing ability to look at things in a new light and to simplify virtually anything down to a simple anecdote amazes me. I read his blog regularly and as I’m staring to get more into blogging myself, I hope that I can learn from his style and success. And what I love even more, is that despite it being a “marketing” blog, I think anyone can and should learn from it. It’s not just a bunch of industry jargon and psedo-relevant insights, it’s just good thinking, expressed brilliantly.

I’ve always heard about color/mood associations and how brands choose their colors. Nice visual depiction of this.
brit:
“Research reveals people make a subconscious judgment about a person, environment, or product within 90 seconds of initial viewing and that between 62% and 90% of that assessment is based on color alone.”
