Seize the week!

1551 days ago

I was on a site that still serves banner ads earlier today — one of the ten remaining sites that hasn't switched to Google AdWords — and I saw an ad that started out completely white. Slowly a bunch of letters rotated in place to reveal the message, "Seize the week." In the next frame, they were replaced by a Business Week logo.
I was shocked. Not because the ad had been poorly resized, but because I made that ad — probably five years ago — and I hadn't seen it since. It was like a reunion or a message from the great beyond...

So, with about four hours remaining, I decided that I was going to seize the week.

Oh My God!

I actually remembered those contests. It seemed so cool back then. We should call it from dyn-o-mite to dorky in 10 easy years!
