Here are some lovely links for loving.
Link 1:The ORIGINAL Aquent Blog
Tim Donnelly in Aquent's Los Angeles office started Aquent's first-ever blog several years ago and it's still going strong. He's a good, funny writer who finds weird stuff out there on the Interweb. Plus, he wrote a nice post about my recent podcast on neuormarketing. Go on and give him some love.
Link 2: Why Bother Having a Resume?
Seth Godin doesn't need my link love, but, just in case you don't follow the daily musings of The Godin One, I thought I would share. Key quotable quote: "Great jobs, world class jobs, jobs people kill for... those jobs don't get filled by people emailing in resumes. Ever." [Tip of the hat to my esteemed colleague, Erin, for this one.]
Link 3: Logos Control Your Mind
The other day I pointed out that brand loyalty mimics brain damage. Well, turns out that exposure, even subliminal exposure, to well-known brands can cause you to exhibit behavior associated with them. For example, this study demonstrated that seeing (or, strictly speaking, "not seeing") the Apple "apple" can make you more creative.
Gee, what does exposure to the Microsoft logo make you do?

See and I thought you weren't reading me anymore. Or is this the direct result of searching to see who is talking about you?
Happy belated Equinox, Matt.
Tim - To be honest, I was reading it rather intermittently, but started reading it more regularly after I posted something about "Design Gangsta," then discovered that you had already written about it last summer.
I'm soooooo slooooooooow.
