A great interview with Gaiman himself here.

See below for the first saved running route for me using TrailGuru, a great new tracking app for the iPhone.

Piedmont Single Lap (Running)

REI asked for a new way to get people excited about the upcoming Snowsports season, something different. So we said, why not commission 10 up-and-coming bands, like Eagles of Death Metal, The Apples in Stereo, Robbers on High Street, The Rentals, etc, to do original songs inspired by snowsports, make music videos and cool wallpapers, and put it all in a cool Papervision 3D interface…..oh yeah, and they’re all FREE TO DOWNLOAD!

Needless to say, we think it’s gonna be a big hit! See it here: http://www.reigoplaylist.com/

By Nike, of course:

I am BBDO Atlanta’s newest Creative Director:

Our expertise in the interactive space has taken a giant leap forward with the addition of 3 new people and a new Creative Director.

Speaking of Toby.
Toby joined us about a year ago as a Senior Interactive Art Director and since
that time has taken us from 0 to we-can-compete-with-anybody-in-the-
country. His talent, entrepreneurial spirit, and leadership has been
critical in giving us a world class digital capability.

So let’s congratulate Toby on being promoted to Creative Director and
welcome our new folks and I promise you with what’s in the pipeline we’re on
our way to incredible things.

Marcus Kemp, CCO

Vice Chairman, BBDO

Doesn’t happen often, but I’m speechless right now…awesome!

Just got confirmation yesterday, I’m going to be a Creative Director at BBDO! It still hasn’t sunk in yet, but it will once I have time to stop and think about it.

So, we lost power again tonight in midtown Atlanta. We had to spend the night at a friends house. Thank goodness for friends!
