Your host for the next week: Deron Bauman

Clusterflock’s Deron Bauman is going to be editing kottke.org for the next week or so. Here’s what he’s all about:

I am the founding editor of elimae, for which I designed, produced, and distributed a series of hand-made books. I am the author of Mockingbird, reviewed favorably by Guy Davenport in the April 2002 edition of Harper’s. I founded and blog at clusterflock, a group blog dedicated to pretty much everything. I am the director of The World Come of Age, a documentary about the life of a gay man living in a rural north Texas county. I am in the process of deciding what to do next.

Clusterflock is one of my favorite blogs (and trial member of The Deck) and it’s a treat to have Deron helming kottke.org for the week. Welcome, Deron!

What I Learned Today asked an interesting

What I Learned Today asked an interesting question on Friday:

What is the fastest “0 to global” brand? Basically, what brand (company, product, person, any entity that holds a brand identity) do you think gained awareness the fastest. Reblog your answer, if you’re so inclined. TBC Monday (taking a snowboard trip to Stowe this weekend).

Tumblr doesn’t allow comments, so let’s open them up here. What’s your best guess?
