Prepare for Battle

By Robert Mohns – Friday, Oct 23, 2009 / 12:09pm View more articles

This weekend, once again, Oregon State and USC are GOING TO WAR! And iMarc represents. Allow me to introduce iMarc's Warriors.

For USC: KIM "Bring It On" JACKSON
For OSU: KARIN "No Prisoners" KLAPAK

This year, it's not just a friendly competition — it's a grudge match. Because last year, Kim brought it on. And her proud warrior tradition ... did not prevail.

Once again, they're talking trash and proudly sporting team regalia and colors:

The Warriors

They look friendly, don't they? Don't be deceived. This rivalry makes that of Hector and Achilles look like a schoolyard spat. And they've both gone to some lengths to share with me exactly how their teams excel:

Oregon State Beavers: I Am Orange

USC Trojans: Train. Fight. Win.

(Personally, I could work with the Trojans' fight song. Until they started in with the clown music about a minute and a half in.)

2008

Let there be no mistake. Last year was intense...

... this year, with 95,000 tickets already sold, it augers to be epic.

As for iMarc's two warriors?

there will be a reckoning.

  • A better tool

    Dave Tufts commented: Just downloaded Soulver - it's great. I also like using the search box in my browser or Google. Similar, linear layout to Soulver. (for the record, that giant calculator on my desk looked like a small regular-sized calculator in the picture on Amazon)

  • iMarcians with staying power

    Nick commented: Congratulations on the anniversaries. I had a professor tell me early on at the Art Institute that "you can expect to change web jobs every 2-3 years until you settle somewhere". I love proving this guy wrong every day. Congrats again.

  • Twitter, Alone, Is Not Customer Service

    Jay G commented: Same here, and my story is with Alaska Air, too. Their website said the customer service phone number was open something like 8am-8pm PST, but this was after hours, so I tweeted. Lo, and behold, I got a tweet response in 10 minutes with the 24/7 phone number. But this didn't change the confusion from their website…

  • Mobile browsers: Here's the data

    Robert Mohns commented: The data comes from visitors to iMarc.net — an important detail I forgot to include! — not the web as a whole. As for why so little Flash on mobile devices… I'd say this is because even Flash Lite is pretty resource intensive, and it's just not essential to the core content most people need to access. I don't think it has a lot to do…
