this week at Plaid

Here's what happened this week at the world's most awesome creative agency:

(If you're too lazy too read, a 12 second version is conveniently recorded above)

+ We celebrated Obama week with our Twitter and Facebook friends from across the world, and enjoyed the CNN/Facebook mashup that changed the way people interacted with a world event.

+ I gave a talk/seminar/browsefest on new social media tools at RMI Direct Marketing.

+ Brainstorms-a-plenty. We squeezed our heads for some sweet ideas for a military related client, a personal grooming client and some other stuff we can't share yet.

+ We laid out the foundation for a community art initiative in our city. Our agency is going to produce three art-related events during 2009, helping to make our neighborhood just a little bit cooler.

+ We've started a new Friday tradition habit: freshly baked chocolate chip cookies. We've had a convection oven at Plaid for ever, but we kind of forgot that it's really good for making cookies. And it turns out that RJ is really good at baking cookies.

This weekend Plaidsters will be snowboarding, skiing, sleeping and eating. And some running, too. Have a good one!
