Coming Up For Air
Oh.
Um, hello there.
I think a bunch of people are under the impression that I don’t blog anymore, or that I fell into a canal and got washed into the ocean or somesuch.
Actually, as it turns out, I’ve essentially been working 100 hours a week for the last 3 weeks, as the team I’ve been a part of has been pushing to get a MASSIVE project out the door.
About an hour and a half ago, we succeeded. And, being the narcissistic ego-tripper that I am, I’m going to tell you all about it here.
As I’ve mentioned in an earlier post, I’m working for an advertising agency in Amsterdam that’s currently working on a number of advertising campaigns for adidas. As you may or may not be aware of, the NBA All-Star game is this coming weekend, and adidas, having a very large presence in basketball, wanted to make a splash.
This weekend, Dwight Howard of the NBA’s Orlando Magic (who happened to be the record-setting fan ballot leader to start in the all-star game and also won the Slam Dunk contest last year) is going to be walking around all weekend shooting photos, video, and sending text messages, essentially documenting the entire weekend from his perspective. Our agency built the website around this, and the system that will collect and consolidate all of the content he creates.
See a preview below, and visit adidasbasketball.com for the full experience!
Now if you’ll excuse me, it’s 3:40 in the morning, and do I ever need to go to sleep. With a little luck, our regular posting schedule should resume shortly, though Shannie’s been doing a marvelous job of making sure people know we haven’t forgotten about them G’night!
Glad to hear you might be able to resume a more ‘normal’ schedule and potentially even enjoying your new home a little bit more… That said, I will miss the random Tweets from all hours of the day & night
Congratulations, Scottie – it looks great. I can’t imagine having to do everything you’ve done on such a tight timeline since your move. By the way, I think it would be really cool, since Dwight Howard will essentially be adding to the site throughout the weekend, to have one of those cool flashing “Under Construction” signs right across the top banner, maybe with a worker in a hard had holding a “Excuse Our Mess/Renovating To Serve You Better” sign or something. Just an idea you might want to think about (no charge).
Always feels great to push a big project off your desk. Even better when it’s all up in lights like this. Gratz!
Now settle into the place, reacquaint yourself with … umm, Shannon (is she your wife yet again?) and despite what Ken said above, keep tweeting from all hours.
And I’ll join you in some sort of routine around abouts the 23rd. Mmmkay?
Massive kudos on this project man, I’m going to steal it!
Congratulations! If I cared at all about basketball or, you know, All Star Whatevers I would be so excited. As it is, I’m excited for YOU. It looks way cool, man. AND you’re still alive. So that’s a project I’d filed under ’success’ at present.
If you and my sister go all legal again, will you have another wedding? IN AMSTERDAM?? Cuz any excuse…
I’m loving this blog. I don’t comment but I read all the time so don’t mistake lack of comment for lack of love. Also, will you post piccies of the kitties? I wanna see my PoePoe! Love to Shannie-poo.
