Sometimes a sweater is simply a piece of clothing for its owner. Other times it becomes an entire organizing principle. So it was for Luke before this cardigan entered his life. “I was lost,” he said one recent morning. “But then the sweater came, and it’s given me purpose and direction. I was so stressed […]

The 5S system basically asks that you keep your desk completely clutter-free. No stacks of papers, no photos of the kids, no Halloween decorations, not even a sweater hanging on the back of your chair. I cracked up at the thought of implementing this “system” in our agency. First of all, many of our folks

…but, I don’t care. Socialmention.com is totally and ridiculously cool. I am monitoring online chatter, of ANY sort, about our clients’ brands. Blogs, Microblogs, Bookmarks, Images, Video…you name it, socialmention tracks it for me. Combined with my new TweetDeck (thank you, Bouv), I feel like a virtual steel trap – nothing is getting past me!
Tuesday was Veterans’ Day; remembrance of the eleventh hour of the eleventh day of the eleventh month that marked the Armistice ending World War I and every war since.

I know I’ve said it before, but I love this time of year. It’s late October and the best teams in baseball are battling to see who will be crowned world champion. It’s a time when legends are made and hearts are broken. (And in case you hadn’t noticed from the first two clips, there

MarketingProfs has released the results of a study of 600+ of its members in which they asked a series of questions about spending for 2009. No surprise that the economy has stymied spending even in 4th quarter and into 2009. I’m extremely pleased to see that their prediction is that the economic situation will expedite

While gearing up to watch the Daily Show, my wife and I occasionally flip the TV over to the CW, to watch a locally produced show Secrets of Louisville Chefs. I love the idea of this show. Louisville has a lot of great restaurants, and there seem to be more every year. I have several

After years of being one of my favorite shows, CSI: Crime Scene Investigation sort of lost some of its luster for me last season. And by CSI, I don’t mean CSI Miami, or CSI New York or CSI Okalona, or any of the other abominations that they pass off as television programming. I’m talking about

I was a little bored last night before the Dancing with the Stars Results Show (sorry Kim!), so I decided to check out Opportunity Knocks. I have to say I was pleasantly surprised! It was actually my favorite new show of the season! I think because Ashton Kutcher is a producer, I was expected to
