About me
Before becoming a single parent, I was a globetrotting professional who loved traveling to new places, reading, hanging out in dive bars, listening to live music and hanging out with friends. Now I enjoy playing with my toddler, spending time outdoors, reading (when I can), spending time with family and entertaining friends.

Top 50 Digital Earners - #SuperMedia 36

 I have been missing James Spader ever since the Boston Legal-induced addiction I suffered during my pregnancy. Think I might have to tune in to The Office for a fix...

Top 50 Digital Earners - #SuperMedia 36
inglesita
by inglesita  4-5-2011   
 No surprise that Google was far and away the top earner in digital ad revenue - more the 3 times its nearest competitor (Yahoo). Nice to see that our TM Advertising client SuperMedia made the list at Number 36. Way to go, TM and SuperMedia!

Twitter creating the next P.M. of #Japan
inglesita
by inglesita  3-21-2011   
 Interesting article about how social media has helped a lackluster politician gain nationwide (and global) recognition as a straight-shooting, trustworthy, tireless civil servant. Mr. Edano may now be a real contender for the Prime Minister post in Japan.

Facebook privacy concerns? Try frid.ge
inglesita
by inglesita  3-16-2011   
 Facebook may be "thrilled" to work with the White House on functionality that will allow school principals, administrators and teacher to spy on their students (http://goo.gl/wiQwi), but I am not. This is the last straw. The privacy concerns that have been raised continually about information that Facebook may have shared with game makers and advertisers did not concern me too much. However, allowing the government to spy on children is the last straw. I'm boycotting Facebook. If you want to boycott with me, here's an alternative social networking site. Any chance that #Amplify will provide an #Autopost button for The Fridge? That would be nice.

 The story highlights the two big-spending Republicans who lost, but closes with this: "overall more incumbent Democrats outspent their rivals only to lose their bids".

Which news networks was first in viewership of the Chilean miners rescue effort? It starts with an F.
inglesita
by inglesita  10-15-2010    1
 Obama keeps saying that the majority of Americans are misled, uninformed and that they just don’t understand the wondrous plans he has for our country. This must be one of the reasons. People keep relying more and more on Fox for news. Personally, I followed the miners coverage online from El Mercurio (the major daily newspaper of Chile). I have a theory for why Fox got a record 7.1MM viewers for this miraculous, foreign event. This event was all about strong religious faith, optimism and industrial strength. A certain kind of person watches Fox. People who believe in the “can-do” spirit of bygone capitalism, who place their highest importance on faith, who respect the awesome feats of industrial science, who value (voluntary) compassion. This type of viewer gravitates towards Fox News – the biased network for faith and capitalism. Obama can call these millions of Americans stupid if he wants to – and Democrats nationwide will face the consequences.

 Like all progressives, Mr. Friedlander will get the money from other hard-working folks. This stinks of sour grapes and desperation. Air America went off the air because nobody wanted to listen to the drivel it spouted. Mr. Friedlander wishes he had the charisma and chutzpah of Beck. Love him or hate him (and he makes my skin crawl), Beck has a formula for success. Success is always hated by the takers. Plus, does anyone out there really think that Beck could possibly have any kind of interesting, much less sordid, sex life. Eeeww!

Can church and cool co-exist?
inglesita
by inglesita  8-13-2010   
 Amen! I agree. Trying to be more modern, techy and hip is fine, but don't use it as a gimmick. Don't lose the importance of the message by paying too much attention to the delivery. It is the loving community of Christ - its honesty, its acceptance, its compassion, its forgiveness, its love, its joy - that we all need and too often do not find in a church. No amount of twittering, videos, light shows and sex talk can overcome an insincere motive.

Breitbart should be ashamed. Twisted truth is an insidious lie. Sherrod deserves an apology and compensation.
inglesita
by inglesita  7-21-2010    1
 How sick is it when you find out that the self-proclaimed "truth finders" are nothing but headline-grabbing, race-baiting, fear-mongering hypocrites. This entire saga makes me sad. Here is a woman who has dedicated her life to helping people, who knows the agony of violent racism, who fights daily for the downtrodden. Breitbart dragged her reputation through the mud for an inflammatory headline. Shame!!

No surprise - Unions outspending corporations despite loony left's fear-mongering about Citizens United v. FEC.
inglesita
by inglesita  7-7-2010    2
 Funny how the Post includes the percentages for union spending (39%) and private individual spending (26%), but leaves out the percentage for corporate campaign spending - a measly 14%. Watch out for the evil corporate boogeyman!! Scary! Finally the unions' domination of campaign spending is getting a "little" honest competition. The money-makers should have as much freedom to express their opinions as the money-wasters do.

We The People know what to do when money is tight. Why can't our federal government figure that out??
inglesita
by inglesita  5-28-2010   
 Huh, when normal folks are worried about their personal economy they spend less, save more and do what they can to pay off debts. Amazing. How does anyone think that spending more and more money we do not have gets us out of a financial hole? Once again, our government is like an out-of-control child. The parents - all of us - need to send our politicians out to the yard to pick out a long switch for a hard whoopin'. C'mon November!

How the IPad Will Change the Advertising Business - Small Agency Diary - Advertising Age
inglesita
by inglesita  4-7-2010   
 Great article on the impact that the iPad will have on publishing and advertising. Despite my fanatical love of owning, holding, marking, caressing and smelling books, I do have Kindle/iPad envy. I'm always reading 4 or 5 books at once. Being able to "pack" a classic novel, a lengthy memoir and some sci-fi/fantasy "books" in one neat little device for a trip would be great.

Personal responsibility and accountability - a dying virtue. Do we want to be ruled by The Lord of the Flies?
inglesita
by inglesita  4-6-2010    1
 How strange that this is coming from Cohen. We live in a society where nothing is anybody's fault. Our schools and our government are teaching new generations to blame rich people, blame Wall Street, blame the lack of government-funded programs, blame lack of resources, blame lack of available fresh produce, blame etc. How about blame yourself and take some responsibility for your actions and your children? What happened to that?

Fox up - again. Both CNN and MSNBC down - again.
inglesita
by inglesita  3-30-2010    2
 Folks are sick of the liberal love-fest on CNN and MSNBC. Where are the investigative journalists? Where are the watchdogs? How much Obama-kissing and victim worship can people stand? The answer is clear. The majority of people know they have been had and they are looking for answers and a way out of this mess. Fox is the only one fighting the conservative fight and pushing for reform.

by inglesita  3-27-2010    3
 My worst habit is procrastination. I've been using this strategy for getting things done the past couple of weeks at the office and it really seems to help. I'm easily distracted by e-mail, conversations, writing to-do lists, e-mail, getting coffee, meetings, e-mail, checking the news online and e-mail. So, I turned my e-mail off and symbolically shut my non-existent cubicle door to tackle a major task (the one I dread, the one that will take a long time, the one that requires major brainpower). Once that is done I feel like I can conquer the world and the day-to-day distractions seem to lose their power over me and I'm able to eat through my more appetizing tasks the rest of the day.

 The voting deadline is April 23rd. The only one I have already read is FIRE FROM HEAVEN - was not overwhelmed. Have any of you read any of the others on the short list? One you recommend? At my pace I can probably only read one of them before the deadline.

Put up or shut up, Rush! Site should offer to ship Vedder, Baldwin and Altman to foreign lands, too..
inglesita
by inglesita  3-24-2010    1
 These hot-aired idiots need to stop running their mouths and think about what they are saying. Rush is no better than those celebrity idiots promising to expatriate if Bush were elected to a second term. If I'm not mistaken, Alec Baldwin, Robert Altman and Eddie Vedder all regrettably stayed put in our wonderful country. What jokes!

 For such a wonderful, ethical, morally correct and joyous benefit (right/privilege/entitlement) for the good of the American people, why do they have to use every trick in the book to force this thing up our @ss?? Because it's going to hurt no matter how they try to grease it up. It will hurt more than it helps, but they hope we'll all just get used to it, lay back and accept it. Feel raped yet?

Players like Fujita might make me love the NFL again.
inglesita
by inglesita  3-9-2010   
 How nice to see humility and charity in the NFL. All of the scandal, greed, and inhumanity of NFL players, coaches and owners has almost turned me off of the NFL completely. Then, you have a class act like Fujita. I hope that others players take his lead and that the people on the receiving end of his charity are as blessed by his gift as he is in the giving of it.

Playing an instrument may improve reading.
inglesita
by inglesita  2-21-2010    1
 Reading is my favorite hobby and gives me so much pleasure. My toddle, however, shows no interest in letters or words or even sitting still for a story. He is a sparkling bundle of energy - a health benefit for him that I hope sticks. As luck would have it, I just signed him up for his first extracurricular activity - a semester of music at his school. He loves music so, if this theory is valid, maybe there's hope that he'll soon love to read - and be an Olympic Gold Medalist in some fast-paced sport.

by inglesita  2-16-2010    1
 I'm stealing this comment from Adam Hendricks that exactly expresses my thoughts on the matter: "The scam is falling apart. What really slays me is how all the AGW religionists believed that the rationalists were somehow corporate stooges when, in fact, the entire scam was hatched in the bowels of Enron and carried forward by Goldman-Sachs and General Electric, the former so they could run the carbon credit market and the latter so they could make billions off of government mandated products like CFLs. The oil and coal interests got involved as part of the whole "keep your enemies close" strategy. The rank and file greens are well-meaning but naive and, apparently, very poor at statistics."

First black governor calls on Barack Obama to sack senior aides
inglesita
by inglesita  2-10-2010   
 The U.K. is becoming the beacon of free press these days. Better journalism on U.S. politics than the U.S. news media. If Democrats do not wake from their bed of laurels and emerge from their cocoon of perceived intellectual superiority the voters will shake them from their slumber in a very rude fashion.

Great program from the First Lady. Kudos to pushing both corporate and personal responsibility for healthy kids.
inglesita
by inglesita  2-10-2010   
 As a single mom, I can relate. Sometimes you are so tired and wiped out after day of work and the thought of shopping, cooking and cleaning the kitchen makes you want to throw a tantrum. I never thought I would say it, but I am so thankful for the McDonald's Happy Meal. Thank goodness they are offering a few healthier alternatives. I applaud the First Lady on this effort.
