I want to get this started off on the right foot, so there are no confusions or hurt feelings. I am a big fan of creativity. I think it's so…unique. If you have that creative energy and use it, I tip my hat to you, for you make the world a better place...

Internet web site advertising seems to be the Topic of the day. And I thought that instead of ignoring that fact with senseless personal anecdote, I'd give in to greater office pressure and write about it. I'm nervous, but here we go. Oh, wait, before I...

I hate peeping Toms. For one thing they usually step all over the hedges and plants on the side of someone's house killing them and setting back the vegetation's gardener countless time and effort. Another thing that I don't really like about them is th...

This land is your land. This land is my land. This land was made for you and me! No truer words were ever spoken. In fact, my palms tend to get a bit sweaty with excitement whenever I hum a few bars from that great uniter that was a childhood classic ...

I like consulting. My friends sometimes ask me how to patch up their rocky relationships most likely due to poor decisions on their part or maybe they're thinking about changing professions. Here's what I do. I sit up straight and squint my eyes, just...

Here's the scoop. My passport is blue and has a cool picture of an eagle holding an olive branch (I think) and some arrows (although it is probably safe to say that it feels more comfortable using the arrows than the olive branch). What kind of assumpti...

While it may sometimes seem to small and local business owners that advertising is just for the big firms with massive budgets, the fact is that small business advertising has several options that are effective and simply not realistic to the big guys. A...

It is a small world after all. Globalization is that great process that started perhaps with Mr. Marco Polo, but has since regained its prestige after a short stint of protectionism following the great depression. It sure is great, isn't it? I mean who...

When I was just starting 6th grade I got my first job. Paperboy! Boy, was I excited. At that time I had spent a lot of time actually playing the video game Paperboy, so I knew I had what it took to get the job done. But, its just not that easy.

When advertising is considered from its entire history it is not surprising at all that it currently maintains such a significant factor in our lives and society. The history of advertising can be traced all the way back to the people of Babylonia and w...

The cool thing about gifts is that you can receive them. For all my soapbox condemnations of the corrosive effects (albeit perhaps unintended) that advertising can have upon the community which it unfurls its ravenous hunger without prejudice, I have to ...

I'm not too much of a bourgeoisie kind of a guy, in fact, I probably relate more with the serfs (I know I just mixed socio-economic systems, bear with me). This particular fact about me is the result not only of a static social hierarchy (although social...

When it comes down to it, I like the internet. I should, I've met almost all of my dates there. Except for Farrah Kritzak, but that was 5th grade and she was long gone by 6th. The point is that there are of course things that I find frustrating and at ...

Do you ever watch a movie that you think is excellent and wonder why movies like Titanic are the ones to captivate the attention of the greater public? Well, I don't. People are ridiculous and their taste in music and movies is even worse. But, if ther...

I'm rethinking my position on home businesses. I still think selling nick-knacks is insane and has probably been induced by a combination of lost personal dreams and confidence and also a thuggish predatory distributor that feels no shame in misleading o...
