Today at the gym I saw a trainer texting while his client was killing themselves on the leg press. If I looked up and my personal trainer was texting during my time I’d fire them. He couldn’t wait until after to return a text? It was embarrassing.
The bad part is that the person was [...]
What year is it again? If you time warped from the year 2000 to your couch could you tell anything changed with cable? Not much has changed chwith the cable industry. They charge more, but they still don’t offer much in the way of progress.

This really sounds like an obvious–and dumb statement. But a lot of companies I come across who are looking to make stake their claim online think that if you build it, they will come. Well they won’t. Not because they think your product sucks, its because they don’t even know your product exists. The web [...]
Fast Company had a really good article about finding bright spots and cloning them. Nearly every company has some aspect that is good–perhaps far better than others.

Every year the car industry has [...]
Marketing is often about making you believe you need something that you don’t. When I watch “Man Vs. Wild” all I can think about is how I need something great instead of getting something that sucks because its advertised as great. Case in point: My wife and I went to Kauai and on this massive [...]
I was watching this interesting documentary on bottled water and couldn’t help but think that the bottle water company did the unthinkable: they sold ice to Eskimos. Just think about it for a moment. We buy water, something that is available to everyone. Why do we buy? For convenience? Because we don’t have cups laying [...]
Simon Cowell is proof positive that being the best in the world at one thing is amazingly valuable. Fox offered him over $100 million to stay with American Idol, but Cowell is smart enough to know that he is American Idol. And that he will make more money with his own show, The X Factor.

After a lot of searching and researching I figured out why Flash was crashing in every browser on my new Dell Studio 17. IDT drivers. What is that? Well they are the more advanced sound drivers.
