Google should kill ‘News Badges’ project
I’m a huge fan of Google. It’s not that I simply accept Google because the company’s products are unavoidable. I really love their innovations and the inter-connectivity. But I was a little disturbed this morning when I clicked the tab for Google News and was greeted with this notice: Thanks, Google. I realize I read […]
A little lesson about Glen Jackson
Jackson Spalding has enjoyed a good run lately. We were named to the AJC’s Top Work Places in Atlanta and then the Holmes Report named us Best Small Agency to work for. (If you want to find out for yourself, we have nine jobs posted right now — send me your resume). Needless to say […]

Poll solves gay ‘tyranny of the minority’
It’s time to vote. The American Family Association is asking its members why homosexuals control major changes in cultural morality despite being a tiny fraction of the whole population. You really won’t believe the answer.
Morgan Spurlock’s greatest TED Talk ever sold
I’m fascinated by Morgan Spurlock’s new film, “The Greatest Movie Ever Sold.” I recently read the Fast Company article “I’m With the Brand,” and this week, I watched the TED Talk embedded below. I haven’t seen the movie yet — it opens April 22 — so I have no clue whether it’s any good. But […]
Giddy-up
Does anyone know what Atlanta’s mounted police force does, exactly? I saw these two horses — and cops — on Peachtree Street today. While it’s fun to see them walking with normal traffic, I can’t help but wonder what they do.
