  “I had a conversation with a very smart guy at Foocamp about two months ago. He made a statement that I’m starting to almost 100% agree with…”If those who are currently making decisions will either be dead or retired in 10 years and won’t truly feel the effects of their decisions, they shouldn’t be allowed to make those decision.” The internet is the greates […]

  RIP Claude Lévi-Strauss. From his introduction to Myth and Meaning: I never had, and still do not have, the perception of feeling my personal identity. I appear to myself as the place where something is going on, but there is no ‘I’, no ‘me.’ Each of us is a kind of crossroads where things happen. The crossroads is purely passive; something happens elsewhere […]

  Apple switches from their Windows CE mobile terminals to a souped up iPod Touch, complete with a bar code scanner, card reader, and battery pack. I’m still surprised more retail establishments haven’t adopted the mobile terminal idea. It’s dangerously easy to buy something from anywhere in the store at Apple. (Via Gizmodo)
• The Problem with Planners November 3, 2009
  The Problem with Planners: I always pour over Agency Spy posts regarding planners. Not for the articles, but for the inevitable comments. Posters are always angry, frustrated, and fed-up with the planners at their shops. A sampling: I’ve never met a planner that brought any true insights to the table. Mostly they regurgitate research. Or even better, tell yo […]

  I bought a tape last night for $3, from the band that opened for Big Business. Fittingly, they sounded like 1993, despite their drummer’s skills. Nothing special. But I figured this was probably the last time I would ever have the opportunity to buy a tape outside of a gas station in the middle of nowhere.

  In Indiana, a group of 75 credit unions banded together to buy a radio spot emphasizing “policies that serve people on your street, not Wall Street.” Worthington National Bank in Fort Worth suddenly gained $10 million in new deposits after running billboards urging consumers to “Just Say No to Bailout Banks.” And Hancock Bank in Gulfport, Miss., posted signs […]

  alwayscapitalize: cameronr: 50 Most Tweeted Brands You know how I can tell this “study” isn’t entirely accurate because the brand Gucci cannot possibly be mentioned as much as the rapper Gucci Mane. TechCrunch? Well that just devalued the whole list. But in all seriousness… if I were a client and I saw this list, I would see the presence of TechCrunch as a s […]
