10 words that define you
Wednesday, February 27th, 2008I just read an interesting post from Go Big Always where they used IBM's Many Eyes software to visualize the top 10 words used on a particular person's blog. The only problem is that they only looked at blogs of complete social media geeks so I decided to my own ...
What do Bea Arthur, Chewbacca and Jefferson Starship have in common?
Saturday, February 23rd, 2008A Star War Holiday Christmas Special of course. I don't think I saw this when it aired. If I had, I definitely would still be having nightmares about it.

Wednesday, February 13th, 2008Why Amazon sells used diapers (and Diapers.com doesn't) This is an great article from Mark Hurst of Good Experience on how small details can create buyer confusion with hilarious results.

Semi-Final Adulthood
Tuesday, February 12th, 2008Most of my driving life has been spent in less than stellar cars. In the beginning, each car had at least 50K miles on it to start. Most were all sold for under $1,000 in a mall parking lot to someone just entering or leaving the country. Here’s my ...
