Businesses want social media. They want Facebook pages and Twitter accounts. They want blogs. But why? Too often they don't stop to think about that. Here's a conversation from just last week: Client: It would be very helpful if you could email decks for meetings more than an hour before we are ...

My car hydroplaned once. I almost hit a gas tanker while on a mountain pass. I narrowly avoided it by slamming into the median, blowing a tire and then pulled over and tried to change it. In 33 degree rainy November weather. The median was small, giving me three feet of ...

Is advertising stupid or are we? Is it invasive and annoying, or brilliantly placed to ensure we can't stop talking about it? Interruptive advertising (well, I guess that's redundant) will surely go down as something future scholars laugh at us about. "They used signs, cartoons and stupid videos to try to ...

So Native New Yorker kicks out gays? Well, maybe not. Apparently they kick our people who are underage. And then the offenders lie about it. Well a few people actually made comments when we walked in, I guess we had a couple of pretty gay looking people with us haha, and ...

I understand the need for advertising. I understand that businesses want me to buy things. What I don't understand is why they think I'm stupid. Brands, your Facebook Fan Pages are stupid. It's veiled advertising and I hate that. I like Diet Coke, but I don't need to be a fan ...
