Is This the Beginning of the End for Goodby?

Goodby logo

One of the best creative shops in America, if not the world, is cutting hundreds of jobs. Much like the demise of the great Cliff Freeman & Partners, the announcement could spell very dark days ahead for Goodby, Silverstein & Partners. This is a section from the February 8th announcement Jeff Goodby himself sent to Agency Spy:

"Today, we at Goodby, Silverstein & Partners have begun adjusting the size of our staff in the wake of losing Sprint and parting ways with Hewlett-Packard.  We don't divulge the number of people or the percentage of our staff affected, but it's commensurate with the numbers you'd have for accounts this size."

So, what are the numbers? It's estimated around 200 people will be laid off. That's 200, not 20. I really wish Goodby the best of luck. They do great work and this is a big blow for the ad industry, and the economy of San Francisco. Such a shame.

Android - Eine "Abrechnung" nach zwei Jahren

Wie es scheint, ist es gerade Mode geworden, seine eigene Meinung zum Thema Android zu äußern, Kamal und Fabien haben es bereits getan. Da möchte ich natürlich nicht nachstehen und erzähle Euch von meinen fast zwei Jahren Erfahrung, die ich mit Android als Software und Motorola und Samsung als Hersteller machen durfte.

5 Scenes From Home Alone Remade With Macaulay Culkin’s New Face

This somewhat horrifying photo of Macaulay Culkin appeared online today, raising some concern for the actor’s well-being, but Culkin’s camp has since assured the worried internet that the actor is in perfect health.

Since that’s cleared up, let’s play a game: What would the movie Home Alone look like if it were starring Current-Face Macaulay Culkin? It might go uhhhhhlitttle something…like this:

Naked on a Radio Tower
Ahhh, the allure of climbing. Usually, people driven to climb prefer a beautiful mountain to scale. This time, not so much. A man decided it would be a good idea to climb a Los Angeles radio tower Wednesday while stripping off his clothes.

He was taken into custody after officers finally convinced him to come down. Authorities thought it would be a real good idea if Captain No Pants was evaluated at County-USC Medical Center.

For a photo of the naked man on the tower, visit this blog at latimes.com.

Underground homes of Matmata
We arrived late night September 18th in Djerba where we spent the night. The next day we took the bac to the mainland. From there we were heading to Matmata.The Troglodye underground homes are quite famous. Some of them were even used in Star Wars movies. There is a local saying claiming that the living live under the dead. The funny thing about the homes is that they are quite invisible to a
More and More State Parks
Tuesday morning we left Blue Spring State Park and drove to Hontoon Island State Park which we though was only about 10 miles out of our way. We had tied up to their dock overnight last spring when we cruised the St. Johns River. They were out of patches last year so we thought we just pop in and snag a patch. The book says its 6 miles from Deland but it seems farther and there are twist
More Upsides to Zero Privacy: GPS Tracking for Cheaper Insurance

to a 14 year old, this a win!A couple of weeks ago, Senior Editor Jacob Sullum explained "How GPS Tracking Threatens Privacy":

The case decided [by the Supreme Count] this week involved Antoine Jones, a Washington, D.C., nightclub owner who was convicted of cocaine trafficking in 2008 and sentenced to life in prison based largely on information that investigators obtained by surreptitiously attaching a GPS tracking device to his Jeep Grand Cherokee. All nine justices agreed that a warrant was constitutionally required for this surveillance. 

But what about situations where users give permission to slap a GPS on thier cars to monitor their driving habits in exchange for cheaper insurance?

Welcome to installment #4,762 of the Upsides of Zero Privacy series.

The service would provide users with cheaper quotes, but prices could be pushed up if driver logs show recklessness or dangerous driving....

Drivers on the scheme will be given a TomTom PRO 3100 as part of the package, and the device will include Active Driver Feedback and LIVE Services to warn drivers when they were cornering too sharply or braking too hard.

The TomTom will also have a LINK tracking unit fitted in their vehicles, allowing driver behaviour and habits to be monitored.

This particular deal is taking place in the U.K., where group profiling to set insurance prices—charging more for men than women, for instance—is now verboten. (Similar developments are underway in the U.S.)
