Entrants submit a 30 second spot and the top 3 will be aired during this years Superbowl. Given that we’re all so amazingly talented and good looking we thought it would only be fair to the other contestants that we shoot, edit, and submit our spot all in less than 48 hours and for less than $48. In retrospect maybe we should have spent more time, money, and energy to actually have a shot at winning. Anyway we hope you enjoy it regardless. It’s bursting with cheesy goodness.

This time they’ll let you know how they made the Maven logo out of…. ice! They describe their perfected creation like this…”it’s almost like water that is frozen that you can see though.” So check out how cool this video is. And if you’re expecting to learn anything you should do yourself a favor and abandon that hope before clicking play.

I can’t help but dance. I can’t help but love her catchy shallow pop tunes, they just get my heart rate up a few notches. I just didn’t realize that it had the same effect on Ryan and Jake.

This Nordic warrior of a man dropped by the office and gave us all he had…unfortunately that wasn’t enough.

The later of which makes for much more interesting blog posts.

In this rare video appearance Jake attempts one the greatest levels of difficulty known to the Trashketball community..the double bank shot! She is a fickle lady. Many men have lost their fortunes on her charms and promises of Trashketball infamy. Can Jake be the first to overcome certain ridicule and tame this elusive minx?

If Chris loses he’ll have to shave his head. Chris is pretty sure that won’t happen.

I told him “it’s because it’s Thursday.”  He said, “No that’s not it. It’s because I’m working across from a tree stump.”

Today’s challenge: Who can hold up a pair of iMac boxes the longest? The competition was fierce, tempers were high, and in the end there could be only one Champion.

His leadership continually demonstrates how to stay focused, keep your cool, and not get overwhelmed. We all have a lot to learn from his constant composure.
