I am so excited with the Fall TV premires coming up. I am a busy mom, but thanks to Tivo, I do manage to watch my favorite shows after kids are in bed. In the past, I was very frustrated with its search function which is to point and click each letters on the screen to search for the shows. Because of the frustration, sometimes I missed watching shows that my friends were always talked about. However, Tivo has came out with brand new TiVo Premiere and Slide Remote. I am very excited the fact that Tivo's new remote has a full built in keyboard function. I will actually be able to type in my searches without any frustration.

There is a new and exciting mobile application called WeReward for iPhone users! It is very simple and it pays you for check ins and tasks you complete at your favorite shops, restaurant and etc and then intergrade it with Facebook, Twitter and Foursquare. Simply look for the opportunities that they provide at their site and just follow the directions. Such as taking a picture of yourself at the restaurant and share your experience. You can also refer friends to earn extra points quicker.

I watched the video which is embedded below and it seems like a fun way to earn money. Each point is counted as a penny and when you get up to 1000 points, you will actually get paid. Yes, real money will be paid to your PayPal account. I am always on the go and taking kids places, so this will be a great way for me to earn some extra money while I'm taking care of my kids at the same time.

I don't have an iPhone right now, but my brother is giving me his old iPhone, so soon I will get to experience this new WeReward. If you have an iPhone, I encourage you to Download the App and give it a try. It is not costing you anything, so have fun with it. If you like to find more about WeReward, simply visit the site at WeReward.com.

The movie called “Date Night” will be released this Friday, April 9th, 2010. The main movies stars in this movie are Steve Carell and Tina Fey. It is an action & comedy movie. I love Tina Fey. She has a great talent and I love all her movies.

A story line for Date Night Movie begins with a bored couple who goes on to their weekly date night and gets mistaken for another couple. While they are expected to spend a normal date night, they get thrown into unexpected events. This couple will experience unexpected adventure such as breaking and entering, a car chase, a shootout and a showdown with an underworld boss at a strip club. Just watch the video trailer below.

It seems like a fun and exciting movie. I have not had a date night with my husband in a long time, so I might even get a babysitter this Friday night to go see this movie with my husband. It will be a great break for me and my husband from our kids. If you don't have any plans this weekend, I encourage everyone to go see this movie. Make it a date night with your spouse. Get some popcorn, soda, candy and enjoy the movie without any interruption from the kids. Just remember, the movie opens this Friday, Friday, April 9th, 2010. Enjoy your date night!

Great news for parents and their kids! Did you know that "Alvin and the Chipmunks: The Squeakquel" is now available on DVD, Blu-ray and Digital Download? If you buy it now, the movie will bring fun for all of the family. Its one of those films where you don't have to worry about the content. The DVD even has extra sing along songs for the kids. Warning: It could be dangerous listening to the singing over and over in the car. We went and saw the movie as a family when it was in the theaters. It was a nice family-time evening. We went to McDonalds and then went onto the movies. The kids enjoyed the movie a lot. My daugther has been bugging me to pick up the DVD for the home as well. We will probably do a Friday evening movie night with popcorn and watch the movie again as a family. She thought that the characters were cute and laughed a lot through the movie. She asked me how I knew the characters in the movie and I told her that I remember watching the cartoon on the TV as a kid growing up. The graphics are much better now, but the chipmunks are just as cute and cuddly as ever. If you have a few minutes, create More Munk Mayhem at the their website. The website is friendly for the kids and my daughter enjoyed using it to create more girl chipmunk characters.

Press Release:

itzbig Gets Creative To Reach Passive Job Candidates

Partnering with Third Rail Creative, itzbig Takes a Playful Approach at Helping the Currently Employed Fire Themselves

Austin, TX (April 11, 2008) – itzbig (www.itzbig.com), an industry leader in candidate-matching technology, is changing the way Quiet Working Professionals (QWPs) look for new jobs by introducing the industry’s first real-time job network that allows them to anonymously explore career opportunities as well as obtain immediate feedback on how compatible they are for positions.

itzbig has launched a viral campaign and a web site called http://www.getyourselffired.com/ , a playful attempt at suggesting to QWPs that it may be time to leave their current job if it is unfulfilling. While on the site, QWPs can do fun things like superimpose their face on a catalog of compromising images and read amusing work stress tips. They can also enter for a chance to win a $10,000 sweepstakes by entering a profile on itzbig.

The core message of the site is:
“itzbig can help you find your ideal job. Here's an amusing way to leave your less than perfect one...”

itzbig’s partner on the campaign is Third Rail Creative, an award-winning creative advertising and design agency, which is currently or has worked with Charles Schwab, Chick-fil-A, Continental Airlines, Honeywell, and The Home Depot, among others.

“Third Real Creative was the perfect partner to help us cut through the clutter and reach those technology workers who are currently employed,” said Denise Court, itzbig’s Vice President of Marketing. “Together, we created a viral campaign that uses humor to ultimately communicate the itzbig value proposition that an ideal job is out there for them..”

The recipient of the message are QWPs, who typically are working professionals that want to maintain control of the relationship with potential employers and only explore opportunities where their privacy is guaranteed and they have the ability to interact anonymously until they’re ready to take the next step.

The itzbig network provides built-in privacy controls such as visibility settings for anonymous career exploration. In addition, the network features bi-directional job matching technology, which not only shows how well candidates score against the employer’s requirements, but also how well the employer matches the candidate’s requirements.

Dozens of technology companies in Texas and Silicon Valley -- Advent, CNET, eBay, Logitech, Omnivision, Salesforce, T-Mobile and Yahoo! to name a few -- are posting their positions on the itzbig network.

That unique proposition inspired Third Rail Creative Director Mark Scholes to create the campaign.

“Our objective in creating this campaign was to build a buzz that would spread without the benefit of a traditional multi-million dollar advertising campaign,” said Scholes. “To do that we needed to create an integrated campaign that leveraged the Internet as well as more traditional venues. The objective is to drive them to the site and then slowly make them aware of itzbig and its unique value proposition.”

About itzbig:
itzbig is the first interactive network to allow working professionals to privately explore in real time career opportunities at technology companies. Privacy is critical for working professionals, who need to protect their identity from their existing employers as well as shield their personal data from those with a criminal intent. itzbig serves employers by delivering highly qualified candidates in an efficient manner. This innovative approach rescues recruiters from drowning in a pool of poorly matched resumes.

For more information on itzbig, call 1-888-4itzbig, or email info@itzbig.com

Interested media should contact Holt Hackney at hhackney@hackneycommunications.com, or (512) 478-8858, Ext. 115
