Politicians Try To Protect Kids From
Underage Marketing 04/08/2005 06:26 PM
Politicians never seem to tire of overr eaching into internet-related legislation. If anything, it seems to be picking up. Today's example involves lawmakers in Massachusetts who have taken up the cause of underage … word-of-mouth and viral marketing. Yes, that's right. A proposed bill in that state would prohibit kids under 16 from participating in "online buzz" marketing campaigns without parental consent. Finally, someone is taking on that great scourge, ad consumption by minors! Not to mention that it's so broadly written, you could arrest an entire middle school for text messaging each other about American Idol. With any luck, this meddling and unenforceable drivel will die before reaching a vote. Adding to the story's absurdity, leaders of the Word of Mouth Marketing Association (WOMMA) and Viral + Buzz Marketing Association (VBMA) are weighing in on the issue. It appears there are two organizations dedicated to such activity and looking after the interests of impressionable children. One of them has its own confe rence, but perhaps they didn't get the word out enough. Sadly, a misguided law such as this would only obscure a legitimate debate about the many more subtle ways companies are influencing children -- and the ways their parents are letting it happen -- through a host of media and otherwise.

Drinking and Shooting

Drinking and Shooting 05/06/2004 04:06 PM

The Vappu 2004 pictures are online. Vappu this year had fabulously warm, sunny weather which was a nice change from last year's cold and rain. I was either stupid enough or brave enough to take my camera along for Vappu since photographing people in large crowds with a fully manual camera requires you to know your camera and have the ability to focus quickly. Vappu is a perfect place to practice and I had a great time getting some decent shots of friends and strangers. I'm still amazed that some of the photos I took later in the evening were in focus at all since my vision was already a bit fuzzy. The Portra UC film seems to utterly adore red and sucks up more of it than any other colour. [Those unfamiliar with Vappu might enjoy the International Hessa's explanation of sorts.]

The picnic at Francis' house with the deadly punch and toxic jell-o was very entertaining, especially as the evening wore on and we managed to make it to downtown where the jell-o was proffered to various ladies. Later in the evening, the guys gave the jell-o to a couple of guys who had a table full of empty shot glasses. Amazingly, they seemed game enough to try it. The jell-o was so strong with the homemade Canadian vodka that you could have gotten drunk from the fumes it gave off alone.

We didn't make it to Kaivopuisto last year due to a sahti induced vicious hangover and the rainy weather. Wading into the park on Vappu for the first time was a tremendous sight with a sea of people, young and old, wearing white caps. I felt left out without a hat so maybe next year I'll dig out my mortarboard and hood to wear around the park. With so many people in such a small space, I was rather pleased to see how peaceful everyone was. Perhaps it's because most people are either hungover or still drunk from the night before. :) Entire families and young children, grills, hookahs, discoballs, minstrels, tents, a VW Bus sauna and all the usual mayhem that comes with picnics en masse were to be had in Kaivopuisto. Vappu is a great party for everyone. Now we just have to hope that the weather isn't too hot and dry until Juhannus.

Drinking the best bubbly

Drinking the best bubbly 12/30/2004 04:27 PM
The New York Times steps up to the plate and reviews 23 vintage Champagnes for which they paid between $70 - $195 a bottle in the article, The Price Is to Gulp, but the Champagne's to Sip. The verdict? Not surprisingly, expensive Champagne is delicious! Well, they use better adjectives than that... [T]here was no arguing with these wines. They were graceful yet intense, fresh, complex and lively but with the thrilling tactile delicacy you might find running your hand over the finest fabrics or inhaling the scent of great leather. The bubbles sparkle on the tongue, gently stimulating the appetite for more. It is a splurge to be sure, and one that seems difficult to justify except for a few times in one's life (baby, marriage, etc.) but if you insist on celebrating this new year's eve in high bubbly style, the article will point you in the right direction. And I promise to withhold judgment, as I've been known to possess a weakness for fine Champagne myself.

Saab's new 9-5 2.0T Biopower sedan runs on regular boring old gas and pumps out a respectable 148 horses. But, because its an F FV (Flex-Fuel Vehicle), fill it up with E85 ethanol (or grain alcohol to you, rummy) and, with the turbo (especially suited for use in ethanol powered vehicles because of ethanol's higher octane), the power is boosted to 184 horses while reducing the bulk of emissions and using a renewable energy source. Only problem is that there are only a little over 300 eth anol fueling stations in the US, it should be noted that the car is not aimed at the US market so our loss is Europe's gain (though not for long).
