The Vig

You may have noticed a couple of changes here over the weekend.  Posts each have links now so you can add my stuff to Digg and Technorati and such.  See, when you have what is apparently the only picture of an Oceanic Airlines billboard available on the ‘net, it causes quite a commotion.  And when you get linked to from Whitney Matheson’s fantastic Pop Candy blog (please notice she writes for a little rag called USA Today), all hell can quickly break loose.  And as much fun as it was yesterday, I think I could have had even more had I simply had that “Digg this” button there.  Alas.

In addition to the buttons you’ll now find on every post, you’ll also notice you can now subscribe via email.  All you have to do is enter your email address, and every time I publish, the post will automatically end up in your inbox.  Your email won’t be shared with anyone, and you’ll be able to unsubscribe anytime.

I guess there are a few of these Oceanic Airlines billboards around town. This one happens to be on Grand Ave. just north of Division Street. Rick Emerson mentioned Portland will play a prominent role in Lost this season. I’ve yet to see the show, so I couldn’t tell you what any of this is about. Is it a clue? Is this? How about this? I couldn’t tell you.

I might start getting paranoid about all this viral marketing. Fortunately the Parepin is helping to smooth me out.

1/15/08 update:  If you found me on a MySpace blog, let me know where so I can give credit.  Thanks!
