random is the new relevant
I wrote that title with tongue in cheek (picture it if you can).
I noticed the last 3 posts (update: now 2) on my blog were categorized as random and hence, held no real value other than to serve as an indicator that I’m still alive somewhere in the world (if not inside the web).
Of course, […]
what’s in a word?
Grant and I will be facing off in the 1% Army showdown very soon. In an ironic twist (although some might not call it irony, so you’ll just have to trust me), I’ve got a bit of an itch about dropping the word “marketing” from lexicons everywhere.
Maybe it’s just semantics, but I don’t think any […]
yeah yeah… we’ll take care of it
After a wonderful commercial comes a bit of a mix up.

when the male ego runs a muck
There are so many things wrong with this commercial that it pains me to think somebody paid for it.
And you thought the Mach XVIII was over the top? I guess women must have really taken to that R&D scientist role. Yeah… right.

A friend of mine trying to explain the activities of the criminal underworld got his words mixed up today. I thought it deserved it’s own ad. I’m sure I can think of someone that would want to preach this message.
