The word Wal-Mart is pushing on you this summer is Staycation.

1. A vacation that is spent at one’s home enjoying all that home and one’s home environs have to offer.

Sentence: With the economy in such shambles, I’m gonna take a staycation this year - I think I’ll check out what Wal-Mart is selling and later come up with some more portmanteaux…

Definition via Urbandictionary.

It seems everyone and their mother is on Facebook these days, but people use the site for a variety of different reasons… keeping in touch with friends, procrastinating, getting some random play, playing scrabble with loved ones, stalking secret crushes– the list goes on and on. But how do you use The ‘Book? This comedic ‘infomercial’ delves into the issue.

To drum up excitement for the upcoming Olympic games, and to tap into the audiences that watch Lost and still remember (enjoy?) playing Myst, a new online game called The Lost Ring emerged in late February. The New York Times recently featured an interesting article about the hidden sponsorship of the game, players around the world, and the relatively cheap cost of orchestrating worldwide phenomena. (Interestingly enough, the article was written on April Fools Day, so it’s unclear whether anyone took the review seriously).

Here’s the trailer that started it all:

The game apparently started with 50 bloggers who knew all those sleepless nights spent online had finally paid off, but has now gotten big enough that there are wikis, podcasts and players collaborating around the world to piece together the story and pick up hidden clues left in cities around the world. The game will culminate during the opening ceremony of the Olympics with some sort of tie-in. You can catch up and join in the fun at The Lost Ring Wiki.

One has to wonder how NationalBanana.com got Cuba Gooding Jr. to star in this hilarious spoof Cialis commercial. Then again, it’s not that crazy…things haven’t been going great for CGJ after Jerry Maguire’s success, as he’s taken on parts in a slew of Razzie-worthy movies such as Rat Race, Snow Dogs, Boat Trip, Radio, A Dairy Tale, Norbit, and Daddy Day Camp, and now stars as the buffoon in Hanes commercials with Michael Jordan. Nevertheless, enjoy this clip:

This is the future of telephony, mobility, and computing– brace yourself:

Obviously this technology’s place in the mainstream market is a long way out, but theoretically a prototype already exists and is to be shared with the public.  I say ‘theoretically,’ because the Nokia Morph is supposed to be at NYC’s Museum of Modern Art as part of the exhibit entitled Design and the Elastic Mind, but my sources tell me that the Morph was nowhere to be seen in this collection, nor did any of the MoMA staff have specific information about it, or why it wasn’t there.  MoMA’s site still lists it as an exhibit, so what gives??
