] Microsoft Windows Phone, according to sources close to the agreement.

] RazorFish to win the interactive portion of the business.

T3 and Microsoft Windows Phone are expected to make an announcement on the partnership today.

I’m so happy for T3…I could just blast off in my chair!

Adomatica would like to welcome Bryan Noguchi to the executive ranks of T3…and welcome to Austin if you happen to be moving here for this spot.

“Bryan Noguchi, vice president and media director at the San Francisco office of T3, was named to a new post, vice president and executive media director, overseeing the agency’s media operations at its offices in Austin, Tex.; New York; and San Francisco.”

Sympathy to Ex-T3ers

I heard that T3 might have done another round of layoffs earlier this week. Losing your job sucks. I’m really sorry for anyone who lost their job at T3 recently.

Best of Luck.

More Layoffs at T3

“T3 is laying off more today. That’ll make over 100 people in the past year, and close to 60 since November IN THREE DIFFERENT ROUNDS. You’d think they’d be smart enough to project their staffing needs and do it at once.

For a Think Tank, they sure aren’t very smart.”

Do you want to see it? You’ll have to ask really nice like.

Here are some of my favorite scene stills:
