Happy Holidays from our Editor & Free Beef!

Howdy and happy, happy holidays!

I was recently intrigued by possibly the best marketing campaign ever from Burger King, which involved one of my favorite things in the entire world: their Double Cheeseburger (no pickles & heavy onions please). Being, I feel, one of the best presents that a person can receive this holiday season, I decided to personally give a little back to my loyal blog followers.

All I'm asking from you is that you post a comment here. Take a minute and think back (or if you're not really an avid visitor, look back in our history - look left) and tell me what your favorite cakeplow post was. Bonus points if I wrote it (not really). Then DM me your mailing address (work or home, whatever you like) here: @at1mp

What will you get? 1/4 pound of hot juicy beef, cheese, a bun and all the fixins (except bacon, that's extra). And bragging rights.

Limits: I'm willing to cough up $10, so that's ten winners (unless I find sponsorship). Also, act fast, because the BK cards are selling out quickly! If they're sold out, this is done (but I'd still like to hear your comments).

Disclaimer: This was not sponsored by BK. BK and MindComet have no professional relationship at this time. This was written on behalf of Art Wilbur and my love for the Double Cheeseburger is true, and it's oh so right.

Incase Your Holidays Weren’t Already Merry Enough…

Let's all have a little chuckle with (at) James. Folks... watch your chimneys!

This is what you get when you have two MindCometeers, $5 and time to kill. Doug dared James, and apparently he didn't stand down. If you've got more dares for him, let us know in the comments!

Happy holidays!

The MindComet Winter Olympics

It's been awhile since our last post, and we hope you've missed us! We've been busy eating turkey with friends and family and sneaking a little extra vacation time in there too. Oh, and creating awesome projects for our clients, of course!

And now the winter holidays are sneaking up on us. You know what that means: it's time to par-tay! We assembled the Committee to Plan Parties and made a short list of ideas. We agreed that the Winter Olympics were both timely and had a ton of potential.

In a few afternoons and a Saturday, we changed our multi-purpose space into a festive winter lodge and ski course, as well as gaming area for some of MindComet's favorite party games: beer pong and flip cup. Sure, we're not in college anymore, but we don't let that stop us! And on that note, a huuuge thanks to Stephanie, Stuart and Jamie for decorating and helping to make this one of the best MindComet parties yet!

Needless to say, we had a fantastic time. Check out our slideshow below or click here to view the set on Flickr.



As the holidays come and go, we hope that you stay safe in your travels, get everything that you wish for and build lasting memories with those you cherish. Also, we hope that you can find it in your heart to give. If you're in a good place, please donate a few dollars to Second Harvest or drop off a toy to your local Toys for Tots pickup location. A little bit can go a long way in making a family's holiday wonderful. Happy holidays!
