Advertise to yourself!

Fellow Emacs geek Paul Lussier pointed me to Take Back Your Brain!, a blog about influencing _your own brain_ through advertising. Here’s what the about page says:

How to Take Back your Brain

  1. Learn the techniques professionals use to persuade us and borrow any that seem useful.
  2. Use our personal technology tools to make effective ads aimed at influencing ourselves.
  3. Use personal technology again to automate delivery of those messages.

Good stuff, especially if you’re an advertising geek. Check it out!
