Hollobaugh's lucky he got out when he did and doesn't have to listen to her asthmatic smoker's cough voice at work.

Leo Burnett Refurbished

Got to be one of the most creative sites I have come across in a long while, it is refreshing to see Flash being used to enhance the “Web” experience. With CSS designs almost everywhere ~ not a bad thing ~ there is still a lot ...

I think if they would have someone on the show with her regular that has a speach problem making it hard for the viewers understanding them it would make Rita Cosby not be noticed as much with her voice.

I can’t stand her voice either, why do they have her on the air. I just change the channel if I hear her voice. It kind of sounds like a sick person with a hoarse smokers voice who just got a asthma attack. Very hard to listen to.

I was just searching the net to see who Rita Cosby was related to. How else would she get a job as an anchor? Is MSNBC hard up or something? “Irritating” is the word that comes to mind. She’s like a stressed-out, unattractive Barbie doll with a scratchy voice. I hope everyone writes MSNBC and complains!

Thx for the Eventful plug James! Seriously, you can set up a smart calendar that will notify you when specific artists or concerts in general come to your town. Check it out and let us know what you think.

Mike,

I completely understand what you mean about that Comcast POS PVR. The more we use it, the more we want a TiVo. The small hard drive, the fact that it clicks over to a new recording regardless of what you are watching, the fact that you can’t change recording times of shows if they start at 9:59, the fact that it stops working if you fill up more than 80% of the hd space.

Oh, and did I mention that they make it nearly impossible to get the information off of the thing to any format other than VHS?

Me, I’m looking seriously at the TiVo with a DVD-R…

Seems we’ll have a lot of feeds for concerts soon :D

Maybe you should try to Build Your Own PRV.

Mike, I can’t really talk about it on here, but I have a service that’s in the works to squash the whole “dammit, I missed another show” problem (which is the whole reason I started the project). A little digging and you’ll understand.

Perhaps I could consult you at some point in November? Say, two-three days hire.

I’ll e-mail privately – I could really use an interface/usability/design eye to help kick my team into high-gear.

Rita Cosby and that Nancy Grace on CNN, too! I can’t stand either one of ’em. It like every cable news network has to have their distraught female host to cover the Natalie Holloway, the Runaway Bride, etc. I guess Greta van Sustren fills that role for FoxNews.

As much as I hate them, Ticketmaster.com is probably the best place to get concert notifications. They have more invested in advertising the shows. I guess that’s what the “Convenience Charge” is for.

Oh, sure, the Leo Burnett is cray creative. BUT, it’s incredibly frustrating to use. I get sick of it rather quickly.

You have no idea how good it makes me feel to hear someone else wants a *good* concert feed. I want to type in my zip code, enter in a radius of travel, and get updates of bands / genres I like and have it tell me about the concerts. I’ve missed far too many shows because I’m not keeping up with the 10 different venue sites on a daily basis.

Leo Burnett – Everytime I see work like that it reminds me of how much more learning I have to do. That was beautiful.

I love it when people come up with an interesting way of presenting a lot of information in a way that is impossible through HTML, yet usable.
