In the spring of 2007, I decided to start a blog complaining about and making fun of commercials I thought were stupid. For a couple years, I and my fellow contributors posted pretty regularly. We actually developed a bit of a readership, which shocked the hell out of me. Then we posted less regularly from 2009 to 2012. Then we didn't post at all for a couple years. Then I did a bit more in 2015. And then eventually I lost access to the Google account I posted from, so I couldn't get back into that blog even if I wanted to.
As luck would have it, the blog name that I originally wanted when I started the blog - theadwizards, as opposed to "advertisingwizards," which I was forced to go with in 2007 - was available. So here we are. Here I am, anyway; we'll see if anyone else shows up.
The "archives" remain up at http://advertisingwizards.blogspot.com/ although I will offer a couple caveats. One, very few of the embedded videos are still active. Two, although I broadly stand by the writing overall, there are definitely a few uses of language that haven't aged well and that I wouldn't use now.
