I’ve got mine. Do you have yours?
And it’s better than I thought it would be.
P.S. Sinbad was waiting in line with me (no, I was only in line for 2 hours). No kidding.
P.P.S. AT&T store salespeople work on commission. Happy iPhone weekend to them.

One of the things that we often find ourselves doing in this little corner of the Interweb is sharing fantastic, frightening or somehow remarkable experiences with products and services. We are definitely in good company.

Today, eMarketer released a report that includes their estimate that 25 Million US adults regularly share information on products and […]

The BBC reports today that the maker of the Wii video gaming system, Nintendo, has released WiiWare, which will allow amateur game makers the platform they require to create their own games for the Wii console.

Brandweek has a very interesting article about a survey they conducted concerning the public’s favorite new brand names. What really caught my eye is that the names that were preferred were real.

And as I came back through customs in NY, the officer checked my papers, gave me the stamp, then looked up from […]

It’s not a big surprise, I’m sure. I really enjoy a good analogy. Or even a mediocre one. Our good friend Justin speaks in analogies and metaphors and similes all the time. I think it’s because he’s such a visual thinker, it helps him to create an image for himself.
That’s why I’m a big […]

Hello faithful viewers.  In Spike’s absence, I will be taking on the touchy-feely blog post today.
I am particularly enamored of a client I’m working on right now.  Nearly everyone I talk to – employee, member, customer – I just think they’re all fantastic.  Partly, they all share a very common set of interests with me […]
