hmmm
can you tell it’s christmas?
Take a look around… it’s not hard.
WWE (WWF?) has bundled the greatest hits (pun intended) of the last 15 years.
Microsoft has “innovated” by adding 5 family-oriented games to the “new and improved” Arcade bundle.
And my personal favourite - 2Pac has released another album from beyond the grave.
Amazing! Buy now… these are limited time offers. In […]
big viral/little viral
A couple friends of mine have started a really cool thing over at CantWaitForChristmas.com. It’s even cooler for me because I have a general sense of who is posting despite the fact that most people only give a first name.
Conversely, there is a Facebook group which grew to over 1.6 million people in 48 hours. […]
counting
It’s a popular thing to do. The web has made it even more so. So is there any difference between counting down and counting up?
Counting down to zero builds anticipation and anxiety. Then again, counting down is only important to people who value the climax (0) to begin with.
Counting up suggests you are building something. […]
you’re interfaceless and i won’t stand for it!

And while an interface - an element of design - is not a sustainable competitive advantage, […]

The mounting frustrations I’m experiencing simply from reading and hearing about outdated companies believing in outdated things has inspired me to dream up a fictitious company - NEWCORP! (To hell with the name, people do business with people, like Mike or […]
when there are no words, just say fuzzy
Ironically, as I sit here and write, there is someone on my MSN who is speaking to me about his girlfriend who’s having problems finding a job. My advice to her was ‘get focused and be specific about what you want.’ It’s easier to get in the door by being the right fit for a […]
but i don’t have anything to say!
There is a tremendous amount of pressure inherent in social media. Some days (and probably because we are human) we want to go to work, do our stuff, and eat potato chips.
Some days we don’t feel like writing a post. Some days we don’t care if we look like a profile stacker - we’ve changed […]
how can you lose?
[Sorry for the re-post… I’m having formatting wars with my theme]
How can you lose when someone as animated (pun intended) and charismatic as Seth MacFarlane is on your side? The WGA has a great case. I particularly like it when Seth compares what they do to the musician or the novelist. At this point, it […]
