PupPeroni is even more fun than ice cream

November 4, 2009

Charlie and Sallie love Pup-Peroni after walks. If I run out, they won’t take any other treat.

So, I happened upon the Web site (printed right on the bag) and found this really cool, fun movie maker where you can write messages on the billboard the dogs hold in their mouths. (If you have a [...]

The seeds of mistrust

October 26, 2009

Today, I look at my Google Analytics for this blog. I clicked on the Site Overlay view and it dutifully built my site with the percentage of clicks over each link. I then exited GA, but pulled up my blog in a new window. After the blog loaded, the GA overlay built with the ribbon [...]

Shakespeare fan club

July 7, 2009

So, in response to my tirade about how an “education” these days doesn’t actually result in even a cursory knowledge of Shakespeare, Sally McLean (no relationship to my really smart editor but the reason I started following her way back) created these shirts.

Sarah Palin, please grow up, shut up, go away or learn some English

January 14, 2009

In a CNN.com blog post yesterday, Ms. Palin is quoted as saying:
I would think we all tear up during the national anthem at the beginning of a baseball game, don’t we? That’s an alikeness between Alaskans and New Yorkers.
Sigh. I think she meant to say something like “common bond” or “the bonds that united as [...]

The ROI of “social networking”

December 23, 2008

I received a panic email from a graphic designer at a local city magazine yesterday who desperately needed some photos of a soccer tournament. “Anything you have showing local kids playing soccer!” she said. Since she was referred by someone who had faith that I would come through for her, it was hard to say [...]

The definitive metaphor for social media

December 7, 2008

There has been a rush with the social media consultant groups and evangelists about how to define this thing called “social media.” Chris Brogan defined it as cafe-shaped conversation. And many people jumped on that metaphor.
Hubspot got a bit lively when they published a video and blog post about not measuring ROI on social media. [...]
