+ Our Sh*t Nobody Says video just surpassed 5 million views – a new record for us (#humblebrag). We’re filming our next video on Friday night and still need a couple more extras. If you’re in Atlanta and want to be a part of it, let me know.

+ Speaking of…are you following SNS on Twitter? HumbleBrag? Make it happen.

+ I’m a big fan of Gary Vaynerchuk. This interview is one of many reasons. By the way, I’ve read his first book, but haven’t read Thank You Economy yet. Recommend?

+ Anyone using Timehop? I just signed up for it. Could be fun…or could be annoying. We’ll see.

+ Have you signed up for The List yet? If a FREE digital copy of my book isn’t enough (understandable), here are 7 other reasons.

+ Just watched the first two episodes of Boss last night. Now I see why Kelsey Grammar won the Golden Globe.

+ Heads up: In the next couple weeks, Mendmark is going to be doing the best giveaway we’ve ever had here on the blog. Not sure how it’s going to work, but everyone will have an equal chance to win.

+ I’ve said this before, but 7 Minutes in Heaven with Mike O’Brien is the current best interview series in existence.

+ My work soundtrack for the last couple of weeks has been Infinite Arms by Band of Horses. I can’t get enough.

What about you? What’s been your go-to album lately?

*From now on, every Arbitrary Thoughts post will feature an image that I found when Google-image-searching “arbitrary”. Exciting, I know.

Here’s a video Tripp and I made recently to promote Tim Elmore’s new book, Habitudes for Communicators.

So…

What’s YOUR least favorite thing people do with PowerPoint?

1. Favorite Industry Changer – Apple’s iBooks Textbooks

2. Favorite Monologue - Ricky Gervais

3. Favorite Website – Infinite Drunk Ron Swanson

4. Favorite Election Sign Add-Ons 

5. Favorite Commercial – Nike’s Make It Count

6. Favorite Video You’ll Either Love or Hate – Sporty

+ Looks like our video made it on The Today Show yesterday. Click here if you want to watch it. But I’m warning you – you’re going to have to endure a little more Kathie Lee and Hoda than you’re used to. Or you could just start the clip at 9:18.

+ I didn’t really understand all of the SOPA stuff until I watched this video. It’s 11 minutes, but he does a really great job of breaking it down. If you have a website or create content for the web (YouTube, etc), it’s a must-watch. Also: This article by Seth Godin.

+ Speaking of SOPA, I’m posting one of my favorite websites of all time tomorrow on The Weekly Six – a website that wouldn’t even be able to exist if SOPA were to pass.

+ 5 actors who got their start on Punk’d.

+ Bryan Allain and his wife Erica are coming to stay with us this weekend. We’ll be filming some promos for the Killer Tribes Conference and having zero fun.

+ How am I just now finding out about the Chrome Web Store? Revolutionary.

+ Predictions of what 2011 would be like from a 1911 newspaper. Fascinating.

+ Any other Hunger Games people out there? I just started Catching Fire the other night. So good. Not Harry Potter good, but good nonetheless.

Any arbitrary thoughts of your own? Nothing is too arbitrary.
