Art Imitates Life: 30 Rock Draws Inspiration from iWavecube

Art Imitates Life

Last Thursday, the plot line of NBC's popular 30 Rock seemed to take a page from my playbook. On 30 Rock Alec Baldwin's character, Jack Donaghy, spent the entire episode in search for the right name for his new small, portable microwave. In real life, I named my invention the iWavecube. In case you missed it, here's a link to the 30 Rock episode:

The Power of Television

I couldn't quite figure out why our web traffic had suddenly and significantly increased Friday. It was up by 400%. Obviously, upon reflection, people came to our website looking for the Fun Cooker after Googling small portable microwave. And once there, fortunately for our company, they placed some orders for the iWavecube. I am forever indebted to Tina Fey and Alec Baldwin.

Thank you.
