Notes : When i first signed on to my E-Mail i noticed i had two E-Mail's from people who i didn't know. I then later realized that they were both advertisments for Newburry Comics.

Time : 8:15 am
Duration of Exposure : 30 Seconds

Notes : This taxi was the coolest taxi i have ever seen. It didn't just have a normal advertisment, instead of just picture, they had small televisions ontop of the cab, i was in such shock about the TV that i didn't even pay attention to what the advertisment was about.

Duration of Exposure : 15 Seconds
Type of Media : ??
Activity : Riding the T
Notes : As i was riding the T i looked out the window, and while in the subway i looked on the wall, and there was a series of lit up pictures on the wall, so as the train drove by it made it seem like a movie. It was a little game, it showed a quick glimps of something and then it said "Do you know what you just saw? if so go to www.whatdidyoujustsee.com and enter to win" I thought this was an interesting way to try and make your T ride more enjoyable

Duration of exposure : 5 min
Type of Media : Billboard
Activity : Walking around downtown
Notes : The billboard was for the parramount theater, normally i don't notice many billboards, but this one had a lot of flashing lights, and it seemed to grab my attention.
