OUR MESSAGE
OF THE DAY

In case you missed it, this month Sesame Street posted their parody of the Old Spice commercial called “Smell like a monster”, totally adorable!

And if you are a fan (like me) of the HBO show True Blood, I recommend you watch True mud.

I believe we all need to be conscious and learn how to save energy. I found this video that illustrates what happens when you leave your computer on at night, it’s all supported with some statistics that are fun to watch.

So, tell me… do you leave your computer on over night?

Today I came across a cool video in Vimeo, and I love the idea behind: They’re asking people to be inspired and film something they believe in… to share their story.

The event will happen in October 10, 2010 (10.10.10) and participants around the world will record their message over a 24-hour period.

Everybody should participate, to sign up visit One Day On Earth.

I came across this amazing website and video I think everybody should watch. We all forget the cruel reality of what young girls in third world countries have to endure. Find out more visit: girleffect.org. Watch the video and spread the word.

I know most of us like to drink bottled water and we're all under the assumption that bottled water is BETTER for you vs. regular tap water. Well, I have news for you. I found something about bottled water that I thought was worth passing on.

So I encourage you to take 8-minutes out of your day, grab a 'fresh' bottle of water and watch this animated video – you'll love it.

Here's the video – let us know what you think.

From the website: The Story of Stuff.

This is way to cool to pass up. I came across the Swedish technology and design firm TAT. They offer their take on how touch screen technology is upgraded and revolutionized in the near future. Check out the video and see where they believe the future of technology will take us. I want it now - how about you?

Megan McNeil, a young lady who’s battling a rare form of cancer called ‘NEUROBLASTOMA’ has realized her dream of singing in her own music video.

Her song THE WILL TO SURVIVE is an inspiration to those who are experiencing similar ‘dark moments’ as she has over the last four years.

Megan’s song is now available on iTunes and Amazon.com with all profits going to The James Fund to support neuroblastoma research at the Hospital for Sick Children and to the British Columbia Childhoold Cancer Parent Association.

I think it’s pretty cool – you can check out her website here

If your business is not using Video to promote your products and services perhaps you should consider the opportunities.
