One of our clients, James Perry got written up in an article by Salon “The Best Campaign Ad Ever”. Hes running for mayor in New Orleans in 2010.

When a narrator, describing other candidates, says, “Political insiders and career politicians,” a woman’s face appears onscreen and she says, “What? Are you shitting me?” (The word “shitting” is bleeped out, as are all the other curse words in the add.) Then, a man comes on and asks, “Are you fucking kidding me?” He’s followed by another man who simply says, “What the fuck?”

We’re excited that James is getting good publicity and that he is getting recognized for his innovative campaign. Take a look at his website: http://jamesperry2010.com.

Jed and I are at Datacamp SF #cadata today. MUNI announced at the event that their real time arrival information is now open and free for developers to access. Its the same data that powers nextmuni. A while back we wrote a post complaining that this data wasn’t available. We’re excited about open transit data in general and its great that our local transit agency is leading the way to opening up its real time data.
