Zappercast

Ever get the first parking spot right by the door?  Ever try to avoid one dog’s mess on the sidewalk only to step in something worse? How about the latest episode of Fraggle Rock that you are just dying to talk about how awesome it was?  All these moments have the need to be rated.  But How?

In Episode #78 of GeekBrief, Cali Lewis was spotted with the first official public use of a Zapper Rating.  We applaud her.  While we had little idea that our Zapper Rating System or ZRS for you hard-core fans, was so popular we had an inkling.

There was a report about an 8 year old in Hollywood, FL who exclaimed, “Awesome! Today’s school lunch is pizza my favorite.  I give it a Zapper rating of 5.0!”  Another alleged use was a staff member at the Martha Stewart Living Omnimedia HQ, who in a meeting after seeing the lastet whiteboard cross stitch design project commented, “I don’t know Miss Stewart, I would give it a ZRS of 2.0.”  Guess how that went over? 

Let’s face it, Cali is an early adopter. When she sees something she voices her opinion and people listen.  Are you an early adopter too?  Then get on board with the Zapper Rating in Everyday Life campaign.

To apply the ZRS:

1. Announce the person, place, event, or item you are going to apply the rating to.  “Hey look Grandma got me Wayne Newtonopoly, the board game.”
2. Decide the rating.  Use the scale of 0.0 - 5.0 Zappers with 0.0 the worst and 5.0 the best, what the rating should be. 
3. Announce your Zapper Rating in the following standard ZRS format: My Zapper Rating 1.0″
