I’ll probably go more in depth about this stuff over the weekend but wanted to get my initial thoughts on what 2009 will look like in college football, now that all the dust has settled in terms of who is going pro and who is coming back to school. Off the bat, its going to […]

This has been making the rounds the blogosphere and is yet another nail in the coffin in Microsoft’s marketing machine which seems to be the whipping boy of the blogosphere including myself. But below is a new low. I mean this is just painfully horrible. It’s almost clear someone wanted to get fired over this. […]

The last couple of days I was locked out of posting because of an issue with my hosting provider. My apologies. In the past, I have griped about how advertisers are off the rocker for not posting their commercials on youtube. If you are going to pay substantial money for commercial development and production only […]

Awhile back I had made plans to attend The Crunchies and was even close to finding a date for the event. For those who don’t know of the Crunchies, its been called the Oscars of Silicon Valley recognizing innovation and progress of both new startups and established tech vendors. Unfortunately I flaked on going for […]

Its with a sad heart that write saying tonight’s last minute Buckeye loss was one of the toughest pills to swallow in all my years as a sports fanatic. There have been some more prominent losses, more embarrassing losses, and more disappointing losses but this one just sticks out. Recently I got send some advanced […]

I have seen a handful of great commercials this past week. A lot of that has to do with the the BCS bowl games and NFL playoffs which give advertisers a great incentive to roll out new ad campaigns to start the new year. However I am going to go with the Viacom commercial below. […]

My apologies on the lack of posting. I am feeling pretty ill but rest assured more blogging of the thought provoking variety is part of my resolutions list. Things are looking very up for me on the job searching front but I have to say, illness aside, its been great having nothing do. I really […]

Still under the weather and will refrain from writing up somethings percolating in my head. However here is a sad sad story involving a kindred spirit, Mike Greenman, and his ordeal procuring a conversation with good looking girls. Maybe he should try Twitter. 99% work safe until the swearing at the end……Crass but funny. Attractive […]

Been mildly sick the past week. Nothing too bad but just not really feeling my best with a lingering cold. I used to joke that no matter when you were sick people at work would say something similar to “Yeah there is something going around lately.” I always thought it would be great if someone […]

Similar to the Iphone, Vudu has only gotten better over time as its internet connection has allowed for a handful of various upgrades and new content. Last week Vudu unveiled some new fuctionality called Vudu […]

Last night when I was up way past my bed time, I happened upon the commercial below. I might actually apply to work for Snuggie after seeing it again. Cutting edge product and the marketing is top notch. Love the shot of the family at a sporting event all wearing snuggies.
