Spamalot, and Monty Python

Friday, November 23rd, 2007

I've got tickets to see Spamalot tonight. I'm excited. I don't usually dig Broadway shows, but Monty Python is an exception.
(Piffling non sequitur: I've just noticed one must be very careful when talking about spamalot on the web... Spamalot is funny. Spam a lot is not.)
In any case, to get in the [...]

Now you’re talking Turkey

Thursday, November 22nd, 2007

The country, not the bird!
(But happy Thanksgiving to our American lensmasters all the same).
This is a lens about doing business in Turkey. Peter Murray is "an entrepreneur from New Zealand who has chosen to live and do business in Turkey because of the huge potential there."
His 3 steps to success?
Step 1. Get yourself to [...]

Grandpa’s Crunchy Apple Chips

Tuesday, November 20th, 2007

Sorry to go a little apple crazy on you this week.
But today's lens is not only a tasty treat for the holidays, it's also a really sweet story. (Awwww). Not to mention that it's well constructed and full of original content that (wink, nudge) search engines like Google adore.
I'll let the lens speak [...]

Pie, Pie, Pie.

Monday, November 19th, 2007

Southpark's Eric Cartman knew the real meaning of Thanksgiving.
"Get your *** in that kitchen and make me PIE!"
Ah, pie. Thanksgiving Day (in America, at least) is this Thursday. Does apple pie feature prominently on your dessert menu?
If so, check out these lenses before turning on the oven.

A Day of Hope

Sunday, November 18th, 2007

A Day of Hope was started by a college student inspired by a book about a young man who received a Thanksgiving food basket, even when his family didn't have enough money to buy dinner. As a result that young man (it was Tony Robbins, actually) was changed forever. He decided to dedicate himself [...]

Celebrity Dolls Find Work In Spite Of Writers’ Strike…

Saturday, November 17th, 2007

The title is a joke, at least.
The subject, however, is not. Yes, these are actual, honest to goodness, OOAK (that's One Of A Kind to those of us new to this business) Barbie-type figures of Madonna, Angelina Jolie, the chick from Grindhouse and a lot more.
Lensmaster Charlino is a class act, and I hope [...]

Quick, patent that idea!

Friday, November 16th, 2007

Quick! You've invented a battery-powered battery-installer!
You know, a battery-operated gadget that installs batteries for you. So you don't have to break a nail trying to put the tiny Triple AAAs into the television remote yourself.
What a great idea! Bet you want to go patent it right away. Lensmaster Mkm's got all sorts of [...]
