Following on from the rather awesome ‘Rock Star’ ad that I wrote about here comes this new one from Intel. Debuting during the Super Bowl it is definitely one of my favourites so far this year. It builds on its predecessor by further strengthening the idea that Intel are not your typical tech company…

A self-professed marketing and technology junkie, there’s few things I love more than the interweb. However, one of the hardest things about becoming a parent has been finding the time to indulge my various interests and habits.

Luckily my good friend Michelle Prak (@Prakky) had an awesome suggestion on her blog that we’ve since incorporated into our weekend routine.

Allocate one hour of uninterrupted ‘screentime’ where mum takes the kid and it’s just me and the iMac.

I can choose to do whatever I want with that time whether it’s blogging, researching, tweeting or just surfing. If I don’t get what I wanted to done because I was too busy screwing around, that’s my own fault, but generally it means that I’m more efficient with my time online.

For any parents struggling to find the time to blog or do anything else online, I highly encourage you to give it a go!

Not sure when it started airing in Oz, but I came across this TVC from Intel over the weekend which I absolutely love! Instead of the product, the focus is on the culture and the personalities at the organisation. Well worth the 30 seconds…
