Leo’s Ball Becomes Viral Ad
TKO Promotes Line of Stability Balls with Viral Video of Leo Laporte Popping His Ball I love it, the classic YouTube clip of Leo Laporte’s ball popping is now a viral video ad for TKO. What a cleaver idea TKO…hopefully  they are giving Leo a cut!  Laporte has been using an exercise ball as a chair alternative for a number of years now.  The idea is the fitness ball increases body stability and keeps him active while producing more than a dozen podcasts each week on Twit.tv  On May 19th 2009, the inevitable happened…Leo’s ball popped while he was streaming live on the internet.
Below you can watch the original Leo Laporte Ball Pop as seen live, as well as, the Viral Ad Created by TKO..enjoy.

Send A Personalized Call From Santa Claus
The following ad showed up on my Google Voice email today: "Send a personalized call from Santa! sendacallfromsanta.com, brought to you by Google Voice. I just noticed a link on the bottom of my Google Voicemail website, “Send A Personalized Call From Santa Claus” – http://sendacallfromsanta.com/
The site has a coming soon banner, so it’s unknown what exactly this will be.  It appears that Google will be able to relay a message to Santa and your child would get a return phone call from Old Saint Nick himself!
We’ll see, nice addition to the NORAD Santa Track website.
According to domainnamewire.com Google also registered a number of other domain names, all which appear to be unused at this time:

Tech Guy Photo Assignment Entry
For fun I entered this photo into the Tech Guy Radio Show photography contest. The current contest theme is “Tidy Mess” Just for fun, I decided to participate in the Tech Guy Radio Show photography competition. Each month (or so) Leo Laporte and Chris Marquardt create a photo assignment for listeners, mostly aimed at encouraging photographers to try new things. The current photo assignment for November/December 2010 is titled “Tidy Mess“. To make things interesting they have also asked that the photo break a photography rule of some sort.
For the past week I’ve been keeping my eye out for “Tidy Messes”, which is not as easy as one might think. Then the other night my wife started working on a cake in the kitchen and the counter was a mess, ah…perfect! Actually the truth is, she had already started cleaning up before it dawned on me that this could be a good photo opportunity. So I pulled a few things from the dish washer, grabbed the towel and setup the “scene” again.
I decided to tilt the camera and distort the horizon line (breaking a rule), which seemed to work. So we’ll see what happens…
