Now you can track her campaign death spiral with your very own Clearspring widget!

Clearspring is powering the widget campaign for Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull!

From Reuters:

The widget will be updated with new media regularly up until the premiere of the movie, so if you grab it for your desktop, social network page or blog, you’ll see the latest stuff as they release it.

I’m proud to say that my favorite company and favorite show / website are now together in happy cross-Atlantic union.

Though Top Gear the show is only on seasonally, the site keeps the snarky reviews going year round. You can grab the Clearspring-powered widget here at Top Gear online. Or you can just click Get & Share above - that’s what being viral is all about.

Check for pulse
Blink your eyes
One for yes
Two for no

I have no idea what I am talking about
I’m trapped in this body and can’t get out
Ooooohhhh

It is the 21st century

and Radiohead’s made the coolest widget on our platform right now.

The seed location is here at TBDRecords.

I met a guy who runs some of KISS (the band)’s marketing at a conference and he sent me the coolest Christmas card ever.

My company, Clearspring, is powering a promotion for the movie Cloverfield. The movie looks really cool actually - something I’d actually want to go see.

Anyway, if you grab the widget below I get some points in a contest that could win me some junk. The top 20 people with the most widget grabs win something. You can enter too by grabbing it and sharing it.

Well… We put up our tree…

Système-D (my little fun barely-have-time-for-it project) released a new podcast last week, titled “All Good Things”.

The reception has been good so far. Oddly enough, I enjoy listening to it - even though usually when I’m done with a podcast I’m so sick of it I don’t listen for months.

The pic above is of my trusty Behringer control surface. It has been put away for a while, because once I’m knee deep in a set there’s a lot of fine editing that has to be done, so I usually just dig in with a mouse and keyboard. But I’m excited when I get to brainstorm a new set (like now), or on rare occasions perform live, because I get to whip this puppy out and jam with it.

I started producing on hardware, and although most of my kit has moved to software now, it’s still so much more fun to connect some control hardware to the computer and tweak things that way.

Head on over and check it out, or check your podcast subscriptions in iTunes for a new track if you subscribed previously. If you’re not a member of the secret club that has a username and password, let me know and I’ll see what I can do.

I managed to smuggle some secret footage of the square dancing that went on at Kate & Gary’s wedding this summer.

Click on share - it’s Clearspring-enabled (blatant self-promotion), so you can send it to your friends.
