What you might not know is that the CD isn’t available in stores or on iTunes, but can be purchased exclusively on the band’s website. What’s the going rate for the new disc?

There’s a great, on-the-money article by Marcia Conner at Fast Company. It’s about benefits that can emerge if you are able to see past your beliefs. These beliefs include:

• Seeing past jargon that might feel unfamiliar
• Seeing past assumptions you’ve created
• Seeing past concepts that may seem isolated because you lack part of the contextual framework to understand them
• Seeing past your own point of view and comprehending how others view the situation
• Seeing past your standard defenses
• Seeing beyond your usual circle for opinions, thoughts and ideas

I have been a Simpsons fan for the majority of my life. I have seen nearly every episode and have bought every season on DVD the day each is released. So you can imagine how excited I was when the news came out that there would FINALLY be a Simpson movie.

One of those tie-ins was with the online viral darling, Burger King, in the form of simpsonizeme.com.
