nevermind voting on ads, i'd like a place for people who think they can do advertising better than the agencies: video spots, banners, etc for real products created by regular people with a little creativity and time on their hands. might even turn into a business opp where agencies can pluck the best for a fee.

i had implemented something similar but more detailed (survey) when at aol. look below the block ad on aol.com. advertisers apparently really appreciate the response but aol needs to dramatically shorten the survey.

while "the who" is not a tie that binds me and my 10-year-old son, the early smiths (even some morrissey) has sparked more than a few oddly authentic conversations between us.

as it turns out, paramount to my adult friends's observations of the mental impact a turn of phrase in the right key overtop a jangling guitar are the simple and child-honest recognitions of what a smiths song can do to you, let alone what it means.

whereas my son has seen only a decade of life, he's helping me notice elements of music (ok, the smiths in particular) i've missed in the over two decades of listening.
