So there I was, innocently obsessively checking my blog stats, when who suddenly appeared? Disney. I looked again. Disney? There it was, in all its glory. Disney was looking at my blog. I’ve made it to the big time. I am the man.
I went to the Disney site to find out where the link was coming from. Searched for Spectorbrain - nothing. Searched for blogs - found a boy band site. Oooo-kay - but still nothing.
Confounded, I went back to my stats. 10 Disney links … then 20 … then 30. A day of Disney stats turned into weeks with no end in sight. I sat by my phone, starved and sleep-deprived, waiting to the call. What call, you may ask? The call offering me a cushy job with the huge sign-on bonus, of course. Come on, Mickey, my bags are packed.
I’m sorry to say, however, that all of this dramatic embellishment was for nothing. In reality, it was just some unscrupulous num-nut sending fake referral spam to my blog and other blogs (Burbanked, Affiliate Marketing Journal, Vill...

Last week, I posted a review of today’s most popular logos of Todder TV and analyzed them in the areas of design, emotion and representation. I then boldly declared the winner, loser and honorable mention (at least in my own mind) of each of these categories and overall.
Earlier today, I had the distinct honor of showing a 2-year old and a 4-year old - a true representation of the target Toddler TV audience - the logos I chose for that original post. They excitedly identified, li...

Competition among search engines to “deliver fast and relevant information” is fierce. Companies such as Google, MSN, Yahoo, Lycos, etc. are in a frenzy to grab your loyalty (and your homepage) by shoving down your throat the power of their search algorithms, uniqueness of their results layout and innovativeness of their added features.

It seems like just yesterday that I started this blog I called “Spectorbrain”. It all began about 4 months ago.
[cue the daydreaming music and fuzzy transitions]
One day, I think it was a Tuesday, I was innocently avoiding work with some Jib Jab animations on-line when I was interrupted by some energetic ramblings. I turned around to see someone who just seemed to appear out of thin air. Due to his fast-talking and multiple digressions, I didn’t quite understand everything ...
