Nike Soccer hired Guy Ritchie to produce the following 2-minute film that does a terrific job of capturing the dream of millions of young footballers (soccer players, for my US friends) — becoming a pro football player. The film is shot from the first-person perspective, and condensed to show the ups and downs and progression of “your” football career.

Nike Soccer has made a couple of shorter commercials from this, currently airing during the Euro Championship. Brilliant, and worth sharing.

Now — what would a first-person film of your life look like?

Yes, to day is my 46th birthday. My friend Steve sent this along, and I was compelled to share.

Thanks to everyone for the birthday wishes and greetings!

Ever run across a website that made you cringe? Maybe it was the flaming logo, the animated “new” buttons or the painful site navigation. Don’t get mad; get destructive with this cool little site called NetDisaster that came across my desk courtesy of Mark Hurst’s Good Experience newsletter.

NetDisaster doesn’t actually damage the site that raises your ire, but does give you a chance to harmlessly deface it with scribbling babies, nuclear bombs, meteors, pee, fried eggs, crashing zeppelins and more. It’s a cathartic experience that must be lived to appreciate. And a perfect way to kill 10 or 20 minutes.

Here in the states we get a day to rest, reflect, eat too much and watch football. It’s called ‘Thanksgiving.’ Hope your day gives you reason to be thankful.

Wall Street Journal’s tech video blogger Andy Jordan tests Virgin America’s new in-flight instant messaging service. No, you can’t IM your buddies back on the ground. This service only lets you chat with the other passengers on your flight. You enter a seat number to send a chat request.

The video is amusing.

Today as Darryl, Randy and I ate lunch at Wingnuts in Aliso Viejo (celebrating Darryl and Sian’s good news–congrats!), I wondered… “what do those letters mean?”

Now I know. But I betcha can’t figure it out!

Dr. David Vaine of Apparently KM, PLC illuminates the obfuscation of knowledge management (KM) and the corporate world. Funny and poignant.
