Passer, deliciae
-The VW "co-pilot" ad is now available online. (Ads.com seems to be well on its way to being what Ad Critic was, pre-subscription era.) It spurred the post on driving, but I wasn't able to find the video at the time.
-Arguably the most fun ad on television now is Kmart's "Dancin' Man." If you haven't seen it, watch. You know you want to dance too.
-Georgetown's Fight Song is terrific. Much better than Gustav Holst's "Mars, the Bringer of War," also known as "NUMB, the Bringer of Repetition." Compare: Them (mp3, large file) versus Us (midi).
-Atlanta driving described. (Free registration required to view.)
-What's the difference between "amid/amidst" and "among"? Courtesy of Lindsay and dictionary.com, we turn to Webster's Revised Unabridged explanation. "Amidst denotes in the midst or middle of, and hence surrounded by…. Among denotes a mingling or intermixing with distinct or separable objects…. Amid and amidst are commonly used when the idea of separate or distinguishable objects is not prominent."
