Use Google to Land Your Dream Job
This has been floating around for a few days now, but I love it. It shows how relevant ads are, it shows how relevant Google is, and it shows how creative today’s workforce can be. Check this out, and you will know what I mean.
This was done by a man named Alec Brownstein.
“Everybody Googles themselves,” Brownstein explained. “Even if they don’t admit it. I wanted to invade that secret, egotistical moment when [the creative directors I admired] were most vulnerable.” When asked what his advice is for other people hoping to land their dream job via the Internet, Alec says “Don’t be afraid to put yourself out there in an interesting way. The people who you want to work for can’t hire you any less than they already are. So shoot for the moon.”
That’s sweet! So, will you get your next gig by buying a $6 Google AdWords spot?

Jailbroken iPad Comes with Bluetooth?
Are you one of the million people that bought an iPad? If so, I know some of you tried and succeeded at jailbreaking said device. Well, if you have gone that far, you might as well take it a bit further and add some bluetooth mouse support to the thing. Yeah! You can do that! No more touch screen for Mr. Jailbreak, instead use a new shiny Apple mouse to control your iPad. This video explains all. Happy watching:
