Random thoughts, life lessons, hopes and dreams
If you follow my Saturday series, you may have heard me mention Corona Beer. I have come to prefer Corona over other lagers, and now I have a new reason to support the brand – the Corona “Losing Blue” can. Corona is brewed in and imported from Mexico. Mexico is a country whose economy depends... Continue Reading →
Wow, a week has gone by and we are back at the bar for Linda G. Hill’s Stream of Consciousness Saturday, and Linda has cooked up quite a challenge this week: “Your Friday prompt for Stream of Consciousness Saturday is “’the last piece of mail you received.’ Talk about the subject of the last piece...

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 →
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.

After slightly over 900 blog posts (oooh, I just heard the Editor moan), I have a ton of ideas stashed away that may never make it to virtual paper. Still, things happen that I jot down because “that would be a good way to start talking about…” Fortunately for the Editor, some of those not-ready-for-prime-time... Continue Reading →
I was going to write about marketing today. I love to pick on marketers, or perhaps that should be marketeers. I always have to acknowledge that our daughter is a marketer, but she’s a good one. Like my friend Paul is a good lawyer. Instead, I decided to write about why I didn’t write about... Continue Reading →
Sometimes, in spite of all the smart things they do, Amazon seems as dumb as a bag of hammers. Oh sure, they have warehouses that are so automated that they don’t even have to have lights on. They have One-click checkout and wish lists and reviews and oh-so-many shipping options. And, for whatever it is... Continue Reading →
