Viral Marketing and Double Rainbows
Posted in September 22nd, 2010
I am not terr-i-ble at popular culture. I know that LinLo is going back to jail soon, that the campy Situation appeals to some people for whatever reason and I even TIVO Dancing With The Lingerie Models Stars, you know, so I can see who gets eliminated. Still, it is hard to keep up when [...]

By CAL (curmudgeon at large) Did you hear that the Department of Labor just started their very own job board? Evidently, the nation’s 75,000 job boards are not doing the job. So someone thought, “Hey, why don’t we get into the job board business, too? Plus this will be an evergreen type program, no one [...]

Was This a Problem?
Posted in September 1st, 2010
I see today that Nike has filed a patent for self-lacing shoes. I just keep missing these revolutionary breakthrough ideas. But to keep it in perspective, I also said no one would ever buy high priced coffee. And I thought the Mall of America was a gigantic waste of space and money. (My grandfather famously [...]
