“If you’re not a born-again Christian, you’re a failure as a human being.” “God continues to lift the curtain and allow the enemies of America to give us probably what we deserve.” “I put all the blame legally and morally on the actions of the terrorist, [but America’s] secular and anti-Christian environment left us open…
Chris Brogan blogged this morning about today being a day to be nice to someone, so I figured I’d take the contrarian view (sort of) and recommend that today, you be an asshole. Specifically: – commit today to no longer communicate or work with people who are poisonous to your well being. You know who…
… because what’s coming out of it is a load of shit. From an MSNBC article: Oda said banning guns on campus might do more harm than good. He said people bent on violence might resort to other, perhaps bloodier methods, such as swords. “A person that’s got skill with a sword in a very…
A followup to the previous post. I’m sitting in a courthouse jury pool in Marlborough, Massachusetts as I write this, and in the jury pool room is a TV with a daytime talk show playing, talking about digital tactics to spy on your significant other. A quick check of other channels by one of the…

It’s effective in temporarily relieving congestion and stuffiness, and…
… because even though this post is loan-related, it definitely doesn’t belong on the company’s web site. Senator Charles Schumer, you’re an idiot. Specifically, you’re an idiot for proposing legislation that will provide a bailout for homeowners facing foreclosure, according to the Washington Post. “We will be proposing significant amounts of dollars,” Schumer told reporters…
Viral marketing and word of mouth marketing are not the same thing. They are not interchangeable, and it’s getting kind of old seeing various media outlets and even job postings getting them mixed up. This is my interpretation of the two. Word of mouth marketing is simply referral and recommendation. If I like a product…
This is just stupid. Here’s a bag of bread I bought at the store. Inside this bag of bread is not bread, but bread that has been shrink-wrapped, ostensibly “for freshness”. Look, if your bag is so deficient that you need to shrink wrap the bread inside the bag, maybe you should design a better…
