While taking a lunch time walk around the workplace neighborhood, a security guard stopped me and started giving me the 3rd degree.
“What are you doing around here?” “You from this area?” I was thinking I was going to have to yell, “Don’t tase me bro!“
Then I flashed my ID [...]

Do you type in addresses like nike.com or apple.com or do you search for nike.com or apple.com?
Do you use the Address Bar or search [...]

Was watching Airborne, a history of the NBA Slam Dunk Contest, when I saw a commercial narrated by Michael Jordan called Look Me in the Eyes. These Become Legendary commercials are part of the marketing blitz for the releases of the latest Air Jordan XX3.
Trying to find the music that’s playing in the [...]

Look at some new sweets currently available, Reese’s Whipps and Snickers Charged.
The Whipps feature “light and fluffy peanut butter flavored nougat.”
But the limited Snickers Charged is interesting, containing stimulating caffeine, taurine, and B-vitamins.
Now this is some serious sweets!

I like variety and and the freedom of choice, and I am glad to see Starbucks continuing to offer new products and services. Except for their new low calorie “skinny” lattes. These things are horrids and taste terrible!
I had a skinny mocha the other day, and I could barely finish it. At [...]

Here’s the first ad featuring Crystall who is a Libra and loves to laugh.
She also likes white iced mochas with whip cream. So of [...]

Yes, I was an avid supporter of Pepsi’s partnership with iTunes giving away free music during the Superbowl. Then Pepsi changed alliances, leaving Apple and going with Amazon. Yeah, I like Amazon, but I think the current Pepsi Stuff promotion is a rip off.
Plain and simple, here’s why. While shopping the other [...]

Yes, it’s still early and March Madness hasn’t begun, but it’s time to start taking notes.
First note. UCLA is vulnerable. Even though they’ve been beating up on opponents, the Adidas-clad Bruins continue to have a weakness against teams wearing Nikes. Of their current 21-3 record, all three losses are to Nike teams [...]

While watching snippets of last night’s Grammy Awards, I saw actor Jason Bateman introduce two violinists and a cellist who each played real short pieces. I didn’t follow what was going on until now.
The Grammy Awards went social.
Pairing with YouTube, the Grammys sponsored the contest, My Grammy Moment, where one winner would join the [...]
