For those following the travel saga, we ended up taking the LimoLiner, a 28 passenger deluxe bus that worked very well, although we felt the pain of a fellow traveler across from us who was sitting next to the guy who really wanted to talk politics and spilled his coffee all over both of them. […]

Back to work after a busy weekend in Gotham City. I had a great time a blogger social, and have to do a full write up, but catching up on sleep was a higher priority this morning.
You know it’s solid when the Ogilvy pipe comes out. I just requested permission on this copyrighted shot from […]

If you have already set up your picks for the NCAA Tournament please consider entering the charity tournament I’m playing in. The entry fee is $25 and the winner gets to select the charity that will receive the pot.
You can enter here, and it’s pretty low key so you can probably still enter after the […]

I rented a minivan for the trade show. Lame, I know, but it’s good for hauling around the trade show cases, or  carpooling with everybody else.  These keys are huge b/c they have 6 buttons on them, but here’s the kicker: they gave me two keys on a keychain that is a cable keyring that […]

So it’s the weekend. Taking a break from Marketing here’s the important stuff:

I don’t know if any other industries use this phrase, but it’s very common in software to talk about “Eating Your Own Dogfood” - in other words: Using the products that you make. You’d think this is basic “support the home team” kind of thing, but it doesn’t always happen, and when the word gets […]

I really don’t have time to write tonight so this is a good chance for me to cop out by mentioning my latest productivity buster - AdRants. I’ve been subscribed for over a year but it continues to get more addictive as you read it more frequently. The problem is that you start with one […]

I got a package in the mail from Jason Calacanis asking me to fill out the application for the A-List. It’s pretty straightforward, you send them $1,095 and that gets things rolling. If you blog daily for 3 years at the end of your probation they flip a switch and you get your choice of […]

I thought this was cool:
