These ads are fantastic . As someone living here, they definitely ring true. It's hard not to identify with at least one of them. I won't tell you which one that I identify with but if you've been paying attention, you may already know. I may have to...

Thanks to everyone who reached out to me last week with words of support. I'm always surprised when people reference me helping people with this blog. I never really think about it that way much; it's just what I do. And it's what I enjoy doing. I'm sure...

I haven't written for a little bit.I will soon. I don't know if it's at all obvious from anything here but it's been an incredibly rough 6 months for me. I may write about it, I may not. I lost 2 people I loved this year (one last week). I don't like...

We recently launched a new website to give a funky little peak behind the curtain at Microsoft. If you don't have a sense of humor, you'll hate it. Trust me. Don't click on the singing cowboy videos. The site is primarily aimed at tech folk, but a...

Love these young men getting down with their backpacks. Those kids are going to be cool when they grow up and perhaps famously misunderstood. For now, they are just cute...especially while they actively want the funk. I want to buy something on credit...

Who knew? They need a better publicist :) I've never seen them on campus, but now I am going to be on the lookout! I took piano as a kid (and had my instructor convinced, for a while, that I could read music) and briefly attempted the clarinet....

In conversations this week about "new marketing", or "newer". I'm having a problem with taxonomy. I know it's not "digital marketing" because moon boots are out of style and so is that term (but hey, I'm reliving 1987 this week so maybe I'll pull that...
