Two types of time…

I read the greatest quote on ADD the other day. “In ADD, there are only two types of time: “Now,” and “not now.”” While this is, 100%, without question, my life, I’ll get into more of that at some point in a future post. I promise.
The reason I bring it up today, is because we […]



Good Karma PR

It’s nice to do a favor for someone - if I can get them press, I will. If I happen to sit on their advisory board when I do it, all the better.
The Scott-e-Vest on RawVegas last week at CES. It’s not CNN… But then… Scott’s not Larry King, either. So it all works out.



Ringtones: Playful or Passive Aggressive?

“Where you at - The Whole City Behind Us…” Boost Mobile Commercial, 2004.
Was at the airport last night, happily typing away, when I hear an alarm next to me. But not a routine “beep beep beep,” but more of an air horn “hide the artwork and the silver the Nazis are coming!” type of alarm.
Looking […]



Welcome!

So I figured I needed one home, one world, where I could keep a little bit of everything…
So that’s what I’ve done. Welcome to the brand new www.shankman.com. I’ve had this domain name since 1997, and have been offered a ton of cash for it on more than one occasion. But come on - How […]



A nicer animated greeting…

This filled me with kind of "awww."
Continental’s Holiday Card, 2007.



RIP “IS” 12-13-2007

Facebook Killed the "IS!"
I can now "questions" or "wonders" or "works out" or "sleeps" or "has just!"
RIP, "IS." 12/13/07



SES Chicago

Thanks to Kevin Ryan at Search Engine Strategies, I was able to get a few hours in at the SES Chicago Conference and managed to drop into a panel and listen to Jack Myers, Alan Chapell, and Pauline Ores, on Search, Privacy, and Communication in the digital age. (Something I know a little bit about…)
Anyhow […]



Issue a Release, Have Sex with a Dog, Call a Reporter, Fornicate with a 12-year-old…

NSFW warning for wording.
Some things don’t mix.
Lemonade and Tuna fish. Yeah, more than one person in my office today agrees that no, those two don’t mix.
I’d also add that bestiality and PR don’t mix. Neither do sex with underage children and press releases.
Why do I bring up this lovely topic on a random Thursday?
A few […]



What better way to shout “STEAL MY iPOD!!”

<In ad pitch meeting>
"So here’s our idea - Those New Yorkers, they’re always running around on those underground busses - I think they call them "subways" or something. Anyhow, what if we put little audio jacks there, and people can listen to our music on the platform through our advertisements?"
"Great idea! And I was watching […]



Today’s Poll: What’s your email sig file?

With so many socnets out there now, and all of them having different contact means, I thought it time to update my email signature file. Was curious as to what yours was.
