This is the Yahoo t-shirt I wore today: I’m a Yahoo Tech Monkey

The Yahoo! Marketing Department does a lot of Amazing stuff, but counting does not seem to be their forte. Whenever we do some kind of promotion, there’s way more t-shirts left than were needed. But I appreciate it when there’s cool t-shirts to be had.

This one is from the recent Monkey Challenge event in New York City pitting man vs. chimp in a race to take and print a digital picture. Well, the chimps sometimes tried to eat the memory card and Katie Couric’s hair was apparently too distracting for the chimps, but it looked like a lot of fun anyway.

If you ever wonder if those buzz events on The Apprentice are realistic – they are. Except for the shortened timeline and some of the logisitics which are decided ahead of time, it’s just like that when we put on a event like the Monkey Challenge.
