Make Me a Sandwich

I’m a life long fan of the Fluffernutter, so I’m trying to figure out how to update this to make them instead. PB&J has never been something I’ve liked.

How 2.0: PB&J Mechanical Munchie Machine from My Home 2.0 on Vimeo.
Having fun watching people get into these DIY videos from Verizon FiOS and the My […]

Teddy Helps Homeless Kids

Anyone who knows me, knows that I’m a big supporter of anything that helps a good cause.
That is why when The Advance Guard began working with the Campfire and Verizon FiOS My Home 2.0 teams around the Twittering Teddy idea, I was psyched that at the end of it the plan was to auction off […]

What Would YOU Say to World Leaders?

It has been a busy week of client initiatives going live around here and this one I’m especially interested in seeing what people think of it.
Before we began working with mDialog, I had never heard of the J8 Summit that happens each time a G8 conference goes on and is organized by UNICEF. It is […]

CokeTag and My Thoughts

Full Disclosure: The Coca-Cola Company is a client of The Advance Guard and we are currently working with them around the CokeTag initiative.
I’m going to be honest that when I first saw the CokeTag application my reaction was along the lines of “nice and easy to use, but it would be better if it wasn’t […]

At Least One Concert I’m Going to This Summer

Yesterday American Eagle Outfitters [client] pulled back the curtain on the New American Music Union summer festival.

I’ve known about this for a while and have been itching to let everyone know. I love music. Always have and there are few things as fun as rocking outside listening to music.
The mix of artists for this festival […]

Cali Lewis & My Home 2.0

While this weekend was a blast at home and I got to spend some great time with both my parents and Laura’s parents, I was sort of bummed that I wasn’t in New Jersey on Saturday.
I can hear more then one person wondering why I’d want to be in NJ when it was such a […]

Trivya Widget

Many of you know that our client Trivya has a Facebook application where you play trivia. But, if you don’tt have a Facebook account you couldn’t see what game play was like. Now you can with their widget.

To give it a try, click on a difficulty level and then pick a category to play a […]

TrivyaSlam

Our client Trivya has just launched a new twist on their Facebook trivia application. Here is a promo video they did for it.

I’m a little bummed to see that the Boston network has fallen out of the top spots. They are now tracking game play by network and at the end of the month will […]

SXSW For Newbies

I’m really excited about heading out to Austin, but at the same time I’m looking for your advice for a SXSW Newbie like myself!

mDialog Becomes a Client of The Advance Guard

Recently I went to NYC for an all day kick off meeting with a new client, but at that time couldn’t talk about who it was. Well, now I can.
The company is called mDialog and the quickest way to sum them up for me personally is that they provide high-resolution video hosting on the web. […]

Morning Trivya

Originally uploaded by Emerie May.
Our resident community specialist Christina helped organize games of online trivia using our client’s service TriviaOnNet.
I’ve been having a good time playing this through Facebook and on the web, but it is SO much more fun playing against people you actually know. This was the first time I’ve done that and […]

Kisses For All My Friends

One of my favorite things about owning my own company is that we get to work with great clients who are excited about leveraging social media in smart strategic ways.
This week aerie by american eagle launched a Facebook application that would be playful, flirty and fun for their brand. We worked with them to […]

Online Trivia Fun

I’m one of those guys who when Laura and I watch a show like 1 vs. 100 or Jeopardy I will answer the questions out loud and shake my head at the contestants when they miss what I think is an obvious question. I suck at trivia about geography and history, but do alright at […]

A Full Day in Pittsburgh

I have a feeling that I’ll be doing lots of blog posting from the Pittsburgh Airport in the coming weeks. It has free WiFi so of course I connect and see what is going on in the world and after today I have a feeling I’ll be visiting every so often.
Steve and I were down […]

Virtual Thirst Video

I’m really happy with how this video turned out. It is meant to give a basic overview of the whole program and the winning entry.
As you know, I was one of the project leads on this and I’m extremely happy with how it all turned out. It was a long process, but a great learning […]
