Hershey chocolate bar and Charm City Cakes (Ace of Cakes); Major upset

February 5, 2010

Fans of the show Ace of Cakes will know what I’m talking about when I say that the Hershey bar cake Duff and crew made earlier last year was a bit of a puzzler as the wrapper was right-side up with Hershey, but the bar pieces inside were upside-down. So, the cake was made with [...]

In the world of creativity, they will remain average

January 29, 2010

I ran across this video by Tom Peters. Watch it.

Peters makes some powerful points about education, but I don’t entirely agree with everything he says.
Creativity is not a refusal to color inside the lines. It is a conscious decision to color outside the lines, knowing what the lines mean and why they are there. Refusing [...]

A new band find. Banjo warning

December 23, 2009

I found a cool new band. It’s not rock, it ain’t Hank, but it ain’t bad! Actually, Megan and Millie of Don’t Tell Darlings are pretty darn good. Harmonies are enchanting. I hope you enjoy the video and click onto their MySpace page for more.
Their CD drops on CD Baby Jan 1, 2010. Enjoy.

John Nese is the proprietor of Galcos Soda Pop Stop in LA. His father ran it as a grocery store, and when the time came for John to take charge, he decided to convert it into the ultimate soda-lovers destination. About 500 pops line the shelves, sourced lovingly by John from around the world.

He’ll keep calling and calling and calling….

October 25, 2009

“He’ll keep calling me, he’ll keep calling me until I come over. He’ll make me feel guilty. This is uh… This is ridiculous, ok I’ll go, I’ll go, I’ll go, I’ll go, I’ll go. What – I’LL GO. Shit.” – Cameron Frye, Ferris Bueller’s Day Off

Seth Godin posted up a blog entry about businesses that [...]

Exactitude in small matters…

September 27, 2009

Exactitude in small matters is the very soul of discipline. I didn’t say it, Joseph Conrad did in perhaps his most obscure work, The Secret Sharer. If you haven’t read yet, go ahead; I’ll wait.
I just finished mowing the lawn. I hate how much time I spend beating back nature, but since I live in [...]

Sharpie at Fashion Week and funky purple

September 16, 2009

Sharpie is at Fashion Week in New York. I just wish I was there. I really don’t care too much about fashion, but life in Dayton, Ohio is just dead boring. I’ve also set a new random challenge to get an invite to a fashion show in 2010. Anyone want a dog to attend a [...]

Never touch your hair during the cutting/styling process

August 31, 2009

I had a hair cut appointment on Saturday morning. The rules are simple and unwritten.
1. Arrive on time, never late.
2. Chat with Jerry about social issues
3. Never touch your hair during the cutting/styling process.
4. Never touch your hair during the cutting/styling process. (Not a repeat, just a lot of emphasis.)
For the first time in eighteen [...]
