Interactive Taxi

From ADWEEK.com


Interactive Taxi Starts to Roll
NEW YORK Hundreds of "cybercabs" are now trolling the streets of Boston, Chicago and San Francisco.

Interactive Taxi, a division of Targeted Media Partners, has launched a network of Internet portals residing in the backseat of taxicabs. Passengers in those three cities can now access localized news and special event listings, book restaurants and show reservations, and buy movie tickets from the back of their cabs. The portals also provide traffic information, mapping, and emergency news, as well as advertisements.technology."

To start, 600 cabs will be on the road by the end of February.

To enhance the new product, Interactive Taxi has partnered with PeerDirect Corporation, a division of Progress Software. PeerDirect's technology is purported to facilitate speedy Internet connection despite the lack of wires or satellite dishes.

The New York City Taxi and Limousine Commission is considering adopting Interactive Taxi sometime in 2005.

The Amazing Disgrace

The Amazing Race is one of my favorite tv program of all time. Never missed an episode.. Every week I tune in AXN to watch the excitement of racing around the world to win a million dollars. Last night was the season finale of AMAZING RACE 6. AND I HATE IT!!!! Why?

Meet Kris & Jon,


(courtesy of cbs.com)

They were the finalists I was cheering for. They have run one of the most positive races in as long as I can remember. Host Phil Keoghan notes in the Early Show, "You are the best of the best, the kissiest couple, we've ever had on 'The Amazing Race.' We added them up 3,507 now. And the most competitive.". They couldn't have been any cuter last night. No wonder they became the most popular team among Americans. They cracked me up so much with that pseudo-Chinese conversation in the car. And Jon is extremely hot.. ;) .

Not like the winner (Freddy and Kendra).. Kendra is known as this self-centered princess who once made a racist comment when the race got to Africa. I can’t stand her form of ignorance and Freddy’s glasses which is sooooo outdated (hahhaa)

One more thing about Princess Kendra, when they were on the mat after being ‘crowned’ as the winner.. She said to Freddy : “Now I know he's worthy of having my children.” WTF??? Yep.. she is so self-absorbed!

Factors why Kris And Jon didn’t win:

- I don’t know why Jon end up together with Freddy when they did skydiving in Hawaii.. Because Jon got there first. (Sabotage from the skydiving company??? Huhuhu)

- the guy at American Airlines in Honolulu who told Kris and Jon that the 5:43 flight was the fastest one to Chicago. He knew that was a straight up lie. Freddy and Kendra flew United and arrived early in Chicago. THIS WAS A MAJOR MISTAKE I think..

- It took a long time for them locating one of the route marker.

- They were having trouble finding a cab to the finish line

- or Kris and Jon were just too laid back so they didn’t give 110% focus on winning the last leg. Last night they started a good race for the first half.


BUT I LOVE THEM! If anyone want to start up a petition for an America's Choice Amazing Race million, count me in! (although I live here in Indonesia.. hahahaha)


Kris & Jon have a sense of class that outshines so many past teams of Racers. They showed how a couple that really cares for each other should treat each other.
I see a good future for them based on mutual respect and trust. THEY ROCK !

Three weeks only to a whole new season of The Amazing Race. Yeay !

Job-Wacky-Test

A few months ago (7 to be exact), I had to do this test for applying a job at a well-known advertising agency. This is my answer, but I didn’t get the job. Maybe because it was too silly? Huhuhuhuhuhu…

-----------------------------------

Q1. Can you think of five other uses you could put a safety pin to?

1. to a Christmas tree (lots of it), it would make an extraordinary ornament or maybe should I say about the theme :‘This Christmas, why don’t we pin up our relationships to a better way?’

2. wear it as earrings, It will look cool on you to attend a heavy metal concert or a biker gathering.

3. to close up the gap between curtains – My mom does it in her bedroom

4. to open a locked door or a padlock , I don’t know if it’s working.. but in a slight way, You’ll feel like MacGyver and maybe your friends will think “wow.. can he/she really do that?”

5.to make a hole on your ex’s photo, or holes, depend on your sadness level. Tearing it out is so out of date, and using a knife will make you look like a psycho

Q2. Make a poster (you can scribble your idea in the space below) to persuade a bald men to buy hair gel.

( I just realized I didn't put any description of the picture! )

Body Copy:

Men with hair gel are common

But bald men and hair gel take appearance to another level.

No hair doesn’t mean no need of hair gel. Your other hairs might need some.
You can put hair gel on your moustache to make it look better.
Even your head requires a moisturizer from hair gel in this tropical climate, so it won’t get dry and dreary.


Q3. Without using the word 'FREE' , interestingly communicate the following : Get a free pack of cooking oil with every pack of condoms.


These days variety in everything is a must, including in your intimate social life. Do not afraid to explore more, cause you might get something new and exciting. So that’s why you’ll get a complimentary pack of cooking oil, if you buy our condoms,. It’s your choice to find a way what to use it for. You can be run of the mill or go creative!

Q4. Write a short story (not more than about half a page) about a girl called Mita whose life is in a mess because of her pimples.

“Puberty really gets under my skin. Idiomatically AND literally speaking” That’s what Mita said to herself in front of a mirror in her bedroom on a hot summer night. There are 3, oh sorry.. 4 pimples on her cute face. “How come they just popped out in a night??”. Earlier that day, when Mita walked into the kitchen for a breakfast, his brother laughed at her and continued mocking her until 15 minutes later. He shouted “Look Mom!! Mita has pimples on her face! She’s definitely thinking about boys lately.. Ohhh I know! It must be that tall boy in her class! I saw her and her flirtatious friends giggling when that boy passed them by” Okay. Mita does like that boy, his name is Adam by the way. But his brother is absolutely making into the list of people she hates today. Then her mother didn’t make it easier for her either. She completed Mita’s breakfast time by making a fussy speech about the importance of taking care of her face cleanliness. At the school, some kids chuckled when they saw her. Then it was her turn to read the poem in front of the class, which made her the very center of attention. And there he was, Adam and his friends, who was not missing the chance to laugh at her face. And when she thought it couldn’t get any worse, that day all students in her grade, must take a photograph for the yearbook. “Huh! Now I have a perfect reminiscence of this lovely day!” said Mita sarcastically after the photo session. Later that night, in front of a mirror in her bedroom on a hot summer night, Mita thought that this clearly was not the right time to try that beauty pageant for young girls, which she and her friends had talked about for these past weeks..

Q5. Think of a caption for the picture below.


My hair doesn’t grow anymore, but my moustache seems to take growing too seriously.. luckily it matches my big white teeth, because Gee.. this introducing-animal thing needs more than an appearance!”




Q6. Make a print ad (a scribble will do) for any public service issue of your choice which according to you is relevant and needs attention/action.

Picture: Woman’s body, wearing pants, only from waist to upper thigh. The pants is surrounded by metal chains and there’s one forelock in the middle.

Headline: .. or You could say no
Tagline:
Having the courage to say no might save your life


It’s a public service ad for preventing date rape.

Q7. Please tell us who is your favourite character (from a movie/book) and why.

Edward Bloom in the book titled BIG FISH. Because he is such an extraordinary man. His life is full of unexpected journey and unusual adventure, but somehow he manages to struggle along in a remarkable kind of way. He always fights for what he wants and everybody seems can get enough of him. He always has many stories to tell other people, which makes him so amusing and divine. Although his son was not having the ideal relationship with his father, but at the end Edward Bloom’s only child can truly understand who his father was and made peace with him. His father is an extraordinary man.



Q8. If you were not in advertising, what would you be?


I would have to say, I’d be a cheerful and witty radio announcer.

----------------------

pssssst: There's a hidden clue somewhere in this post that informs where did I apply the job
who can answer that?
