Book TV - The Stuff of Thought: Language as a Window into Human Nature

Saw a great talk on CSPAN's Book TV this weekend, from Steven Pinker on The Stuff of Thought: Language as a Window into Human Nature. If you haven't caught it, it's being repeated on Dec 2 1200 AM. Set your recording device and prepare for a Sunday morning of laughter at his talk on "crazy language" in general and "swearing as the language of emotion" in particular.

Fucking brilliant.

Angry Jets Fan?

At first glance I thought this face of the day from Andrew Sullivan was a disgruntled Jets fan. Must have been the green and white head gear.

ZETA INTERACTIVE :: WHAT'S NEXT. -- I've joined a new company without changing jobs.

DigitalGrit, where I've been since 2004, has, along with it's sister companies at Adverb Media, been bought and combined with the e-mail house Zustek, to form Zeta Interactive, a really full service interactive marketing agency offering one-stop shopping for a unique set of services.

From the Zeta Interactive website:

"The company combines the talents and technologies of five interactive leaders to offer marketers complete solutions across all media and channels-from email and search marketing to creative, web development, business and branding intelligence, and more. Zeta Interactive is comprised of Zustek Corporation, an industry-renowned email communications leader, and Adverb Media, a holding company which includes under its umbrella DigitalGrit, a highly acclaimed direct response and search marketing firm, Temel, an award-winning brand strategy and creative agency, and RelevantNoise™, a ground-breaking technology firm dedicated to mining the social Internet for business intelligence."

Met our new CEO, Al DiGuido, yesterday in a kickoff presentation of his background and plans for Zeta. This is gonna be fun.
