I had a surprise waiting for me when I got home yesterday, there was a box on my front porch with my name on it from the Boston Beer Company. I wasn’t expecting a package so I was giddy with excitement. After taking the package inside and hastily opening it, I discovered a semi-personalized message from Jim Koch, the owner and brewer at Samuel Adams. Below this note were two brand new pint glasses of a shape I had never seen before. The new glasses showcase several features designed to maximize the beer drinking experience. According to the letter, Sam Adams apparently sent the pints to me because I am a member of the American Homebrew Association.

Working for a promotional products company, I was pretty impressed with this product giveaway. I haven’t had a chance to imbibe a frothy beverage from this pint glass but I can tell you I’m looking forward to doing so.

CampusMint™, an innovative new mobile promotions service, is now available to college students across the country. It gives college students access to discounts and promotions, weather, movie times and entertainment news. Students will be able to redeem coupons at their favorite restaurants and stores by just showing their cell phone.

“No more paper coupons to cut or print out and accidentally forget when you want to use them,” says Doug Herko, VP of Advertising at CampusMint. “CampusMint eliminates paper waste while providing a convenient and ecologically responsible way to make saving money easier than ever before.”

I think this is a smart mobile phone application, plus it’s good for the environment.

Bart Simpson and company will be hitting theaters nationwide next month. To market and promote the movie, the studio is pulling out all the stops. Not only are the Simpsons all over Myspace, they transformed eleven 7-Eleven’s nationwide to Kwik-E-Marts, and stocked the stores with Buzz Cola, KrustyO’s, Sprinklicious donuts, etc. Speaking of Homer’s favorite pastry, the donut packaging for the soundtrack is pretty scrumptious. Nothing like a giant donut cd case!

Remember when you were trying to think of an awesome corporate gift for your special client? Well, Romain Jerome thinks he has created the perfect gift item, but the only problem is it costs between $7800 to $173,100 dollars! The Titanic DNA watch is made out of the steel from the doomed ship and the face is painted black out of the coal recovered from the site. I must say, it’s a pretty sweet watch, but why not buy 25 Fossil watches with your company’s name imprinted on them for an 1/8th of the price? Sound like a good idea? Awesome.

It’s almost here. On June 29th the iPhone will hit the market and revolutionize our mobile experience for $499 and whatever the cost of AT&T’s service plan. You won’t be able to chat on it, but you will be able to manage your AT&T account through iTunes. You can view a memo being sent to AT&T representatives at BoyGeniusReport.com

It will be interesting to see what kind of accessories this thing will have.

The times they are a-changin’. In an effort to reach a younger audience, Island records will re-release Bob Marley’s Exodus on USB Memory Stick and Micro SD Card.To commemorate the 30th anniversary of the album, the 4,000 USB sticks will be available in the Rastafarian colors of red, green, and gold. I know Bob was a visionary but he would have never thought of this. Nope. He would have gone one step farther and released it on one of those awesome pens where you pull it apart only to find a USB stick. Kinda like this one. That way while you’re jamming to “Three Little Birds” at work you can use the other end of the pen to work on your project. Oh, that Bob! A genius.

Every time Back to the Future or Back to the Future II are on TBS (which is like every other weekend) I’m all over it. The Delorean, hover boards, bite-size pizzas from Pizza Hut that you stick in some futuristic microwave and out comes a lovely large pizza…I love it, can’t get enough of it. I know you’re jealous of my Saturday nights.

Anyways, you can imagine my excitement when my boyfriend sent me a link to McFly 2015. Are you kidding me?! A chance to purchase my own Marty McFly shoes? Count me in.

It’s definitely an upgrade from the Back to the Future II promo sunglasses that I got from Pizza Hut when I was nine. What they should have had were Delorean stress balls or Marty McFly bobbleheads.

Pizza Hut, give us a call. We’ll make it happen.
