So in Spain, the 80s are huge. They have an all 80s radio station and we were zipping around town in a micro-mini van listening to Def Leppard and Eye of the Tiger. That totally ruled.
Also, in the malls, girls are dressed like Lucky Star Madonna with 3 layers of lingerie. At one point, I was banging my head to the Scorpions and later Pam sang along with Quarterflash.

The bright panels of this controversial building (suppository, lipstick case) in Barcelona impressed with the colors, the LEDS, and arrangement.

The El Palauet building was bathed in moody light and we enjoyed it for a night during our visit to Spain. Bike Hugger has more on our trip.

She stepped out of a store right in front of me and marched down the street towards the nearest cab.
She was in a hurry, not sure for what, but she did find a cab in front of a hotel.

As Byron prepares for Spain, I’m recovering and catching up from my trips to Colorado and Hollywood. Recent items of note:
FITC Hollywood was fun.

Its expected to be 70 and sunny for the week we’re in Spain. Maybe we’ll ride with Marty Jemison’s group and other Americans abroad or Girona Cycling. Not sure, but the roads I’ve seen in photo galleries are all endless.

Regarding Walmart’s fake travel blog (BusinessWeek backgrounder here), if that had been any other company than apparently themselves, it’d be front page blog news on Rubel’s micro-persuasion; instead, we get some feedreader story.
I think in the blogosphere and Web 2.0, we can still say some old media rules apply about not quickly addressing controversy regarding yourself or a “calling the kettle black” sort o’ thing. See Wagstaff’s thoughts on “real conversations” and CNN’s Reliable Sources covered this story on Sunday (search the transcript for Wal-Mart). Debbie Weil has also posted on about fake blogs and the lack of response from Rubel.
We’ve built some of the most corporate blogs and what I’ve always told our clients and what they’ve never done is try to trick their audiences, be sneaky, or do anything that’s PR. This latest example from Wal-Mart/Edelman, and the silence on it from Rubel, is another example of why you can’t “craft” a story in the blogosphere.

The legendary … the subversive… the long out of print … Corporate Coloring Book showed up in my inbox and was sent from someone who was just laid off.
“Go travel,” I said. The one thing I regret when I was laid off (and later came all the blogging), was that I should’ve enjoyed the time off, tried to regroup, and redefine. Instead, I panicked for a long time before settling in to my post dotcom life.

The museums, the food, culture, and mostly the riding is what I’m looking forward to in Spain during our vacation next week. I’ll blog the miles we ride on Bike Hugger, relax, and no work.

Amidsts all the social networks, YouTubes, and Web 2.0s is Petaline, a site “where you’ll find a collection of handmade art, design and craft products made by a variety of independent artisans for your home + lifestyle.” Nice, simple and an effective website where a business find treasures, sells them online, and communicates with a blog.

A day after watching, Walk the Line, we were at Stellars Pizza and Ale and I noticed this portrait of Johnny Cash.

While much of our time here in the past few months has been spent on Intel’s blogs (and there’s more coming), we also worked on
On tap are even more blogs, a new book-related project, and more huggers.

The IT@Intel blog went live today. Much collaboration, design, code, meetings (lots of meetings) and thought went into the launch. Textura Design is very proud of the work, especially Scott and Mathew’s design/code, Tim Appnel’s programming, and Six Apart’s Movable Type Enterprise.
I’ll talk more about corporate blogging at upcoming events, including the Blog Business Summit, Six Apart’s seminars, Web Builder 2.0 and Web Design World Boston.

It’s not that I don’t appreciate the hard work, the promise of code, new ideas, or bloggy concepts, but man do I ever grow weary of betas. Beta this, beta that, delayed or not. It’s like as busy as everyone is, just tell me when it’s done, release it as a preview or whatever you want to call it. Beta as a term has lost any real meaning other than “work in progress, when we get to it, please indulge us, and give us your time.”
At least with Vox, they’re calling it a preview and I like checking it out cause it’s changing all the time — the preview is a constant iteration. For example, today, my login screens shows a Warhol like stack o’ C-3P0s.
And with Newsvine it was cool, cause you got to actually work on a mostly done product before anyone else. Like you were in a club with Mike D, not just featuring requesting and hoping your little peeve makes it into the build.

Commarts is a magazine for graphic designers, advertisers, photographers, illustrators and interactive multimedia professionals. It’s the largest journal for creative professionals and every year they produce an interactive annual.
I’d always thought, “that’d be nice to be in that for a website or maybe even Clip-n-Seal,” but wouldn’t have thought, I’d get in there for a book about blogging
Publish and Prosper: Blogging for Your Business is reviewed in the books column with a cover shot
This practical book explains the real-world techniques, tools and concepts designers and marketers can use to build a blog that enhances their business objectives.
Scott snapped a cell-phone camera shot for me and flickr’d it.
