Nancy Friedman at Away">http://nancyfriedman.typepad.com/away_with_words/">Away With Words guides us to the Coleman Partners website for a well-written essay called "Marketing & the English Language: A Guide to Better Communication," which is worth reading. Ms. Friedman does warn that the site's design is too clever by half, so you'll have to click on the external link, then click "Explain," and the click "Logical" to get to the "off-white papers," of which there are at present, just the one.

The Sultan's Elephant on the Road

I (well, Jeff Wong) linked to The Sultan's Elephant on Monday. Well, it turns out that it will be enacted in other cities throughout the summer. It will be in Antwerp, Belgium from July 6–9 and in Calais toward the end of September. Le Havre gets it in late October.

Frank Portman, King Dork

Wes Phillips First Published: Jun 27, 2006 0 comments

As anyone who has talked me me even briefly over the last month knows, I loved reading King Dork. It's a young adult novel that's one-half rant against Catcher In the Rye, one-half spoof of The Da Vinci Code, and one-half Encyclopedia Brown in the 21st Century. Yeah, I know that adds up to more than one, but that's how good it is. It's also very knowing about rock trivia and absolutely spot-on about what it feels like to be an "uncool" teen.

The Sultan's Elephant

Again from Jeff Wong—he's such a nice boy, I may take the day off and let him guest blog. This video clip shows the girl giant waking up, taking a shower from the sultan's elephant, and wandering off in St. James Park to play. It's from a site specific art work by Royal de Luxe (story herehttp://www.thesultanselephant.com/">here;) and I think it's magical. The girl giant's face is wonderfully expressive.
