Seriously? How cool are Zapwater's client. Obviously, it shouldn't surprise anyone that I think they are cool. But apparently, The Chicago Sun-Times also thinks they are very cool. The Sun-Times has been running an ongoing series "50 People Who Make Chicago a Better Place" and three Zapwater clients have been named to the list.
Vote RA! may be over, but the fun has just begun. With ballots collected from all three RA Sushi Illinois restaurants (Chicago, Glenview and Lombard), the Barack Attackdefeated the McCain Terrain with 174 votes to 166 votes as the best tasting maki. The new menu has arrived and it features none other than Mr. Obama proudly wrapped up in smoked salmon, cream cheese, cucumber and artichoke rolled in rice and seaweed and topped with crunchy blue tempura bits, finished with a sweet eel sauce and wasabi mayo. The roll created to embody the character, integrity and honor of Democratic nominee and Illinois Senator Barack Obama is available now until Oct. 3 for $10, with $3 of every order benefiting Rock the Vote, an organization that engages and builds the political power of young people in order to achieve progressive change in our country.
So even if you aren't going to use Facebook for business, you can use it to reconnect with that girl you took to the prom. Just hope that you look better than she does.
A new potential client came to Zapwater recently and Allison and I took full advantage of the situation. We now share an office, live across the street from each other, and have gotten tattoos together…but, that’s a topic for another blog.
While we were discussing where on our bodies we should put our tattoos, friends and family inevitably voiced their opinions on the topic. The most common argument against the tattoo is that it’s hard to think of an image that one would want inked on the body permanently. That’s a valid concern. What if I choose to get a boyfriend or husband’s name and the relationship doesn’t work out? However, the most annoying argument against getting a tattoo is what it might look like when I am old and gray. And, really, who cares? When I’m 80 and my skin is wrinkled and transparent and covered in liver spots, the least of my worries will be the tattoo on my foot and whether or not it’s still legible. Predictably following the question of how it will look in 50 years, the question of how I will explain why I got the tattoo to my children and grandchildren comes. I guess I will just tell them that one day a co-worker and I got coupons for $25 off a tattoo and after work one rainy evening we walked down Division and got a tattoo. I’m a sucker for a good sale. You will notice that I have yet to tell you what our tattoos are of. Let’s be honest, you don’t really care…and either do we.
I've been meaning to post this link for a while. It's an overview of the Huffington Postpanel discussion that occured at the Democratic Convention on the impact that new media has had on the '08 Presidential race. While Howard Dean's legacy is unquestionable when it comes to the use of the Internet in politics, many of the new social media channels (Facebook, YouTube, etc.) that have been so prevalent this election were not in existence four years ago.
