This site you're reading now (thanks!) is primarily for posting interesting clips, music & photos that I've found while browsing the Internets. But I am a music fan, to the point where I've began a blog featuring independent music artists, especially in the Cincinnati, OH area. I've featured artists from Atlanta & Toronto, Canada as well.
So I present to you The SNE Promo Blog.
Stop by, read it, subscribe. Tell a friend, or an artist-friend. :)
This is a clip of the live Ustream from the Diddy Dirty Money Last Train to Paris album release party. Pay attention to the chick in the hot tub:
Oh, SMH.
Twinkie diet helps nutrition professor lose 27 pounds
(CNN) -- Twinkies. Nutty bars. Powdered donuts.
For 10 weeks, Mark Haub, a professor of human nutrition at Kansas State University, ate one of these sugary cakelets every three hours, instead of meals. To add variety in his steady stream of Hostess and Little Debbie snacks, Haub munched on Doritos chips, sugary cereals and Oreos, too.
His premise: That in weight loss, pure calorie counting is what matters most -- not the nutritional value of the food.
The premise held up: On his "convenience store diet," he shed 27 pounds in two months.

Growing up, I thought the chair stunt she did around the 2:20 mark was the coolest thing ever. :)

Sidenote: after adding the PicPosterous app to my iPod touch & finally taking time to create an album of some screenshots, I didn't realize I posted a few of them over the weekend...oops! So it does post instantly.
And now for today's quote:
“Don't wait until everything is just right. It will never be perfect. There will always be challenges, obstacles and less than perfect conditions. So what. Get started now. With each step you take, you will grow stronger and stronger, more and more skilled, more and more self-confident and more and more successful.” - Mark Victor Hansen

My latest editing project - a video promoting storytimes for The Public Library of Cincinnati and Hamilton County. Hours of reviewing really cute footage into iMovie and simple layering & polishing in Adobe Premiere Pro resulting in this 58 second clip. Enjoy!
Don't judge me, I like the beat...lol
And this one:
This one is cool because I know these guys. *Shameless plug: follow them on Twitter @ftdubbb and ask about this mixtape!
Sent from my iPodAfter posting my comments about Erykah Badu's latest video it was time to post some new music. I'm a fan of Erykah's music, but I didn't understand the video at first.
I’ll admit, it’s relatively easy for me to promote others & their efforts. When it comes to promoting myself & tooting my own horn, the task isn’t so effortless. I wouldn’t consider myself a PR pro, more like a pro-in-training or a newbie. So, here's my official bid for Help a PR pro Out day (Happo) (details here: http://helpaprproout.com/?p=189).
I’m looking a pr position that will allow me to nurture my creativity in a challenging & supportive environment. The following is a short list of my background & recent experience:
I’ve also created a teaser in iMovie to promote the series:

Song of the moment, appropriate for today:
A recent study from the University of Wisconsin at La Crosse looked at the relationship between clothing and physical activity while at work. Researchers studied 53 people in a variety of professions and tracked both their daily activity (measured by pedometers) and how casually or professionally dressed they were.Results showed that people took an average of 491 more steps each day if they wore casual clothing to work. That means that just by dressing comfortably, study subjects increased their daily calorie burns by eight percentAction SparkedTake advantage of your company's casual Friday or business-casual dress code. The easiest way to increase comfort, even in a polished-professional environment, is to wear practical shoes.Dress for comfort and you’ll be more likely to walk to a co-worker's desk, take the stairs…even walk the dog when you get home (rather than just letting him out in the backyard).No casual days at work? Have your own casual evenings and weekends. Or better yet, leave a copy of this study on your boss's desk.
