– Global marketing guy Jeff Bell is leaving Microsoft. He’s held his post since 2006.

– a52, which produced the visual effects for that Monster.com spot with the people on the rails, won some love at the Association of Independent Commercial Producer’s 17th Annual Show. This is the 11th year its work was recognized by the AICP. To celebrate, it created a YouTube chronology of all the a52 spots that have been honored by the Show. Watch them.

– Obama for America has launched an online news site to fight the smears against his name.

– Make the Logo Bigger created guidelines for the ideal PR. If you don’t meet ’em, you’re not just getting trashed; you’ll be marked as SPAM.

– Not ad-related, but hey: here is a rhinoplasty tutorial. After a few slides, even YOU could do it! Well, maybe she could.

– Speaking of tattooing tots, here are some tattoos for tots. Prepare them early on for their future as this guy. (That tribal-inspired tattoo actually contains the coordinates for $50K and keys to a Volvo.)
