Working for The Weinstein Company – the Hollywood production company formed by Bob and Harvey Weinstein, founders of Miramax and Dimension Films – online marketing firm Deep Focus and creative services firm Big Spaceship have created YouAreNowInfected, a promotional site for the upcoming Dimension Films feature Pulse, starring Veronica Mars‘ Kristen Bell. The site resembles an online FTP directory devoid of fancy Flash graphics usually associated with online promotions for Hollywood films and contains simple links to images, character video diaries and, of course, the film’s trailer.

While the success of the film which takes yet another stab at “Internet as host for really bad things” could go either way and won’t be known until March 3 when the film opens, we can say, this promotional site is refreshingly welcome. Without all the Flash n’ Crap, the site, which is blissfully easy to navigate, we’re told, will build over the four month run up to the opening with more video diaries and film related trivia, clues, and imagery.

I raised two kids in a house full of noise and chaos and now at 66 I have the quiet I always said I wanted — but nobody prepared me for how the silence would feel like punishment for the crime of doing my job too well

People who return borrowed items in better condition than they received them — cleaned, refueled, or with a small gift attached — aren’t trying to impress anyone, they’re operating from a worldview where generosity should flow uphill toward the person who trusted you, not downhill where it’s expected

I’m 65 and I’d tell my younger self to get comfortable with being disliked — not because it doesn’t sting but because the alternative is a life designed around other people’s comfort, and a life designed around other people’s comfort eventually has no room in it for you, and you’ll arrive at retirement with a beautifully maintained reputation and no idea who you actually are underneath it
