For years, entrepreneurs, tech observers and journalists have known two things about the geolocation space: It holds an enormous amount of promise, and it’s taking an awfully long time to get there.

Just in case you weren’t in Oklahoma, Texas, or Montana watching the big game, here’s what you missed…a long, wordless take, the Chinese song, “Mother, Where Are You”, and Will Ferrell…enjoy.

The Richards Group created “Farmer” for Ram Truck – I believe the best commercial of Super Bowl 2013.
“And on the eighth day, God looked down on his planned paradise and said, “I need a caretaker.” So God made a farmer.
God said, “I need somebody willing to get up before dawn, milk cows, work all day in the field, milk cows again, eat supper, then go to town and stay past midnight at a meeting of the school board.” So God made a farmer.
God said, “I need somebody willing to sit up all night with a newborn colt and watch it die, then dry his eyes and say,’Maybe next year,’ I need somebody who can shape an ax handle from an ash tree, shoe a horse with hunk of car tire, who can make a harness out hay wire, feed sacks and shoe scraps. Who, during planting time and harvest season will finish his 40-hour week by Tuesday noon and then, paining from tractor back, put in another 72 hours.” So God made the farmer.
God said, “I need somebody strong enough to clear trees and heave bales, yet gentle enough to yean lambs and wean pigs and tend the pink-comb pullets, who will stop his mower for an hour to splint the leg of a meadowlark.”
It had to be somebody who’d plow deep and straight and not cut corners. Somebody to seed, weed, feed, breed, and brake, and disk, and plow, and plant, and tie the fleece and strain the milk, . Somebody who’d bale a family together with the soft, strong bonds of sharing, who would laugh, and then sigh and then reply with smiling eyes when his son says that he wants to spend his life doing what Dad does. “So God made a farmer.” – Paul Harvey
McGarryBowen, New York created my second favorite spots of Super Bowl 2013.
Female Car Buyer: It’s a puppy.
Car Salesman: Not a puppy, he’s a wolf.
Female Car Buyer: What now?
Car Salesman: He’s a wolf, and that is its incredibly protective mother.
Wolf Mom: Grrrrrrrrr.
Male Car Buyer: Put the wolf down.
House of Cards, the most remarkable new television drama of the year, is not being shown on any television channel. It may have been inspired by the 1990s BBC classic with which it shares a title, but this series belongs to the future of the medium, not the past.
