Straight from a quick find tonight - thought it was most definately worth sharing - since my passions include diversity and brand.

AT&T has created a multi-cultural print campaign, featuring painted hands that represent cultural and historic traits of Egypt, China and Japan. We're not sure what's exactly the idea behind the ads — except maybe to prove AT&T is all about diversity — but we love the way they look, nevertheless. BBDO is behind the eye-catching campaign and I guess we should ask them what's the point… Anyway, few more images follow after the jump. Enjoy!

It's Wednesday so let's have a little something to push us through the middle of the week that might be fun.

I enjoy puzzles and riddles and games - so I thought it might be fun to use a slick little tool called Wordle that runs on a Google App Engine.  To put it plainly, users can simply paste a number of words into the field provided and the application will generate and artistic rendition of those words.  Alternately, a website address can also be used where the RSS feed of that address will be pulled in to do the dirty work.  Either way, the result is a rather cool looking image where people can copy or print the content for their own websites, tee-shirts, coffee mugs or whatever. One of the cooler things the app offers up are additional options that let you select how many words are used various colors or layouts and fonts, etc.  You could literally play on the Wordle site for hours and accomplish absolutely nothing.  It's fantastic!

What I decided to do was push through 9 blogs and websites that I use and set Wordle to only use 10 words.  Outside of setting the 10 word limitation the results you see below were completely random.  Can you guess which of the images belong to which popular blogs in the Recruiting/Staffing industry?

One of the job titles that my team has had the pleasure of filling over the last year is the Premises Technician at AT&T. These men and women are responsible for the installation and customer care of the AT&T U-verse product. If you haven't had the pleasure of U-verse yet, you don't know what you're missing - and I'm not just saying that because of those paychecks that are thrown my way.

One of the reasons we've enjoyed recruiting for the installation and support of this product is because we truly love it. I've had the service for months now and really do prefer it over the cable service that I had for years. I have more HD channels than cable provided, I can view my Flickr page on the TV, I can set up the recorder from my mobile phone if running late, etc. etc. etc. I'll get off my sales box now since this wasn't the goal of the blog post today...

Okay... so the point of this rambling isn't for RecruiterGuy to sell you U-verse... Truth be told, I'm just excited and pleased with some videos we've just released that show exactly what a Premises Technician does every day in regards to the level of technical work they perform, what they wear and drive, and the customer interaction they have.

Check it out below - I'm proud to have been a part of the video series we're releasing... There is definitely more to come.

It's true.  She's driven me crazy for years and keeps me up at night.  I've stayed out late with her and have woken up beside her in more hotels than I can count.  I've even had talks with leadership and peers alike where I adamantly denied that she was as important to me as I realize now that she is.  I've been in denial for months about how much she's on my mind when I'm away from the office.

So after a lengthy conversation with my wife and my friends and a few that I trust... I've decided to just finally come clean and admit it.  Publicly.  And part of being completely honest about this love affair includes talking a little bit about how it got so embedded into my lifestyle... how it became such a part of my life that while I wasn't losing focus on my family per say, I was moving personal things around to keep my mistress happy.  And most of all... why I won't be breaking it off.
