A friend just emailed me and asked me whether I’d seen the new trailer for Watchmen, the much anticipated move version of arguably the greatest graphic novel ever. I hadn’t, but I have now. And I just can’t decide whether…

From Skype With Love
I was browsing around earlier and decided to check out a few PPC ads to see how the competition for one of our clients are handling things. Imagine my surprise when I clicked on a Skype ad, showing #1 for…
