dispatches from the new world of work

Media Sightings, of a Different Sort

Over at YouTube, someone named Chartreuse has grabbed three and half minutes from Tom's Re-imagine! video and posted it. It's a segment about how cable network TNT got rid of professional wrestling and re-branded itself as all drama all the time. Tom introduces the piece.

In a vaguely related vein, someone named Roxanne gets someone to videotape her as she walks along a Hawaiian beach and calls it Beach Walks with Rox. In episode #11 she references one of Tom's posts about competition. I'm not quite sure what I think about all of this but clearly there's something going on here. The beach, sound of the waves washing over the sand, palm trees. It's kind of mesmerizing. And she's up to episode #173, so she's not kidding around.

There is a radio personallity in Atlanta (96rock)
who has lunch at various establishments and invites listeners to come "Watch Wachs Eat". Something there for everyone, publicity for the restaurant, doodads for the fans, probably a free meal for Wachs, and even fodder for the critics.

Mahalo for the mention Erik. We do a daily show, sometimes serious, sometimes frivolous, always aloha. Tom fans might like Show #129 - Math with Rox, on CEO pay scales. For fun, #154 - Diving in the North Shore (under water). Lexi (my dog) and I would love to have you or Tom join us on a Beach Walk next time you're in Hawaii!
With warmest aloha, Rox

And of course Erik your always welcome here at the Great Lakes. Beach is great and the water tastes a helluva lot better than salt water when you forget to raise your head before you breathe in.
