Competetive Anaylisis – A Struggle To Be Neutral
Jun 30th
We’re all taught in school that whenever we’re doing research, we have to try and step into the mindset of a true user. Depending on the product that could mean anything, but in order to get a true experience, things often need to be seen through the eyes of someone most likely to use the product or service. This is where researching the competition becomes difficult for me. On one hand, I’ve got some major loyalty issues – in a good way! Whenever I’m going through a competitor’s product, the first thing that pops into my head is how lame More >
I don’t always drink beer, but when I do, I prefer Dos Equis
Jun 29th
I’m sure many of you out there are aware of, “The Most Interesting Man In The World,” right now. The salt-and-pepper haired gentleman with the smooth voice and a taste for adventure. I’m kind of addicted to him right now but not just because, “policemen often question him simply because he’s interesting,” the other day a friend told me that during his bartending days, they used to have to drink Dos Equis during staff meetings because nobody would order it. Well, I think things have changed a bit and I’m pretty sure half the people who have tried a Dos Equis More >
New – New Moon Book Cover = Mo Money For Meyer
Jun 28th
I’ve read a few articles hating tons on the latest book cover for Stephanie Meyer’s New Moon. Some of it is funny, others ridiculous, but the bottom line is it’s getting people to talk. Hell, even I’m posting about it so it can’t be all that boring right? Anyways, I thought I’d throw my 2 cents into the mix after reading this on Latino Review the other day. I don’t like backwards marketing with franchises. What I mean is I don’t think I could ever buy a book that ever mentioned or had anything to do with a movie. The reason More >
I seriously need a new laptop….
Jun 26th
Ugh – so I spent pretty much all of last night working on a file that I planned on bringing into the office today in hopes of being able to work on it some more. But, I’ve just discovered that my old laptop will not be able to run the program I’ve been using. I’ve done the old “Hey Google, what do you have to say?” but I’ve just discovered that the reason the file will not open is because my OS is uber-old – like geriatric old (thanks Kristy). I think its finally time to retire the old girl More >
Shaq Traded… Again (Who Cares Anymore?)
Jun 25th
I remember a time when Shaquille O’Neal was the biggest draw to basketball since Wilt. He was an overpowering beast of a boy at the time crushing opponents and tearing down backboards like they were made by Nerf. Well those days are long gone and Shaq has been traded for the third time (he signed as a free agent with LA so this makes it his forth team). But really – who cares now? The hype surrounding Shaq has been drizzling down to a nothingness that resembles his rap career. Shaq is mostly known now for his constant Twitter updates and no longer his More >
So Much Wonderland Excitement Lately
Jun 25th
I’ve been following the production of Tim Burton‘s Alice in Wonderland for a while now and recently there’s been a ton of news. Apparently a few people have gotten their dirty hands on a script and have been spreading around the plot. If you’re truly interested, finding out what this film is about won’t be hard – but don’t be a douche bag, wait to see it up on the big screen. Anyways, Burton and crew have been dropping tons of new tidbits of late like images from the film and the stars. That pic above this post is Tweedledee and More >
Got a Scene Card – About 5 years late
Jun 23rd
I go to a lot of movies. To put this into perspective, the movie theater is like Cheers. Okay, maybe not everyone there knows my name, but I sit in the same spot so much that sometimes I feel like Norm. Anyways, someone a little while ago brought up a good point. I go to at least 2 movies a month and with the increase in ticket prices, I should probably look into a more economical way to see them. The solution was to finally get a Scene card by Scotia Bank. In the past I was almost against the idea More >
