Too Good to Be True

Several years ago, I wrote a marketing rant in which I admitted to having had fallen for the old 3-days only sale approach. I could write an entire post on marketing “techniques” I have fallen for over the years. It’s not my fault. I’m destined to make this mistake. I’m pretty sure if I sent... Continue Reading →

Thanks Facebook but I’ll Pass – #SoCS

The weekend is here, the bar is open, and Linda G. Hill is offering bonus points. Her Stream of Consciousness Saturday prompt is challenging, but I like bonus points as much as Corona, so let’s move on with: “Your Friday prompt for Stream of Consciousness Saturday is ‘abash/a bash/bash.’ Use ‘abash,’ or ‘bash’ as a...

I Hope it’s Lima Beans

This weekend saw an odd convergence of ideas in my area of space. First off, on Friday, I was talking to one of my favorite people about all things data, analytics and marketing. He gave me what I think will be my one-liner for Wednesday (unless something better comes along), and we laughed and marveled... Continue Reading →

Broken Stuff & Data Scavengers

I’ll start today’s rant with the dumbest thing since Labor Day. No, I don’t mean to imply that Labor Day is a dumb thing – that’s a temporal reference – and yes, I’m using that term in an effort to make Mary think that I’m thinking of Star Trek, which I am. She probably won’t... Continue Reading →

Dog Days – #1Liner Weds

At some point during my extended weekend, I saw a thing on Facebook. It was something like “15 Things You Do that your Dog Hates.” I would provide a link except that the only thing worse than Facebook itself, is the search feature on Facebook. Unless, of course, you were hoping for “15 things you... Continue Reading →

The Hearings

If you pay attention to technology news, political news, or even fake news, you no doubt heard about the data-mining over at Facebook. I was considering explaining how a few thousand people trying to figure out what Norse god or comic book hero they are most related to, morphed into 50 million peoples’ privacy being...

Step Into the Light

I’ve been dwelling on a particular disk in the Twilight Zone DVD set for the past few weeks. It’s not like I watch it every day, but each time I go to eject it, I decide to watch a couple of episodes one more time. It’s from season two, and it features the last five... Continue Reading →

I’m worried about Google

A few days ago, actually, it was over a week ago, but there’s no real time-keeper in the blog universe…is there? Anyway, whenever it was, I was reading a post from my blog-buddy Dan. You know Dan. Dan is the guy in southern California who is sometimes in Poland and sometimes in a pool hall... Continue Reading →

Timing is Everything

We were supposed to be having a beer, but you didn’t show up. “Your buddy was in earlier, but had to leave. He said he might come back, but he paid for two beers for you.” “Well, that’s the important thing. Did he take the rest of the bar with him? I seem to be... Continue Reading →
