this is getting close to the emotional geography you were talking about - http://www.refinery29.com/hapify-i-phone

but there is also another out that there is more specific in mood and tracking. it shoots you an email or text every hour or so and you need to state what you’re doing and how you feel. then it plays back the data to you after a certain amount of time. can’t remember that one though.

I thought the ‘walking cities’ were embedded in a road forever moving west. (This is six million AD on the Night Lands timeline: http://www.thenightland.co.uk/nighttim.html.)

Merlin Mann is worth reading. Even when he gets a little snotty…

you can do a lot with shrubs and stuff in a traditional lawn space. Plants that the kids can run through and you don’t have to mow. Plus the kids will smell good after they run by it. I can send help research plants for your area if you are interested.

With great power comes great responsibility…
I love this theory and completely buy into it based on all the conversations I’ve been privy to with big, old, slow moving brands. I think the next time I am in a client meeting and they ask for more TV I’m going to tell them to stop being so f’ing lazy!… Wait, does that mean I have to do more work then to?

Right. They’re starting to get a compelling model, but it’s a particular CASE, right?
They have very controlled conditions. And is one example of that kind of correlation.

My point isn’t that online CAN’T, it’s that it doesn’t have the monolithic “There, I’ve dealt with my media” quality that TV has. I think the industry (advertising) and possibly even the clients are overwhelmed, scared and unsure. Because it takes too much thought and effort right now. It has been, for years, easy — you buy x, y and z. Now there’s a whole alphabet, and you have to make CHOICES, and you could be WRONG.

Basically, everyone has to work. And I think the industry is starting to smell of flop-sweat.

And how does Consumer Direct affect, or not, this theory that online can’t yet correlate on sales?
