We here at COLLIDE hope you had a great week. But if you had a busy week and can’t remember what actually happened, let this post jog your memory and turn that frown upside-down.
- Bad news for techies, Sharper Image is closing for good. But good news for techies, everything is like 40% off at Sharper Image so go get your electric-shaver-alarm-clock-radio-phone-massage chair!
- Finally! Starbucks is offering FREE Wi-Fi thanks to AT&T. Free wi-fi, now that’s a novel idea!
- Weezer’s long awaited “Red Album” was released this week. Check out this review from RollingStone.com
- The Innovate 2008 site is up. Be there or be circle. I hear square is actually the new fad.
- Christianity Today gave Sex and the City 3 stars out of 4, which has caused a little stir. Mainly because Carrie’s Vivienne Westwood ensemble did not match her olive complexion. I’m kidding, I have no idea what I’m talking about.
- Hollywood learns that “word-of-mouth” marketing for faith-based movies only works when the movies are good, which tends to be a rare occurrence.

- If you haven’t already, it’s time to get your ROOV on! And if you don’t know what that is then check out this video.
- There’s a website that promises to send an email to your non-Christian friends after the rapture occurs, and it’s only $40 a year! You can also give them you bank account info so you can give your money to the friends you left behind.
Noteworthy Rejects:
- Cookie Monster gets utterly confused by the internet.
- Major League Baseball seems to be overstepping it’s boundaries and Steven Colbert has something to say about it.
- Here’s hell’s most wanted list and I’m pretty sure we are all on it, especially if you like sports.
- “Field and Stream” magazine is offering a $1 million reward to anyone who can prove Bigfoot’s existence. Will a scene from Harry and the Hendersons do?
And that’s it for this week’s Upfront Week in Review. Enjoy your weekend!
