The Big Value of A Little Email Signature
Now, I will premise this post by saying that I am the last person to give a lecture on etiquette. But a clean and effective email signature is more than just about etiquette.
A good email signature can work for you in the following ways:
1) Similar formats in email signature among your coworkers is a sign of consistent branding. You would not create a print flyer or brochure without having all pertinent information included. Email is no exception. If your company requests that your logo is used in your email signature, please talk them out of it. [More...]
Not My Bow Tie
Everyone knows that this economy stinks, but I think I am holding in my hands proof that it is still in the toilet.
Yes, it is still larger than a glazed doughnut and tastes the same, but this David is seriously like 30% smaller than the Goliath bow tie I am used to getting. Is it a mere fluke, was there a rookie in the bakery this morning? Or is this a new mandate by D&D to make more money. Wouldn’t surprise me. My 40 pound bag of dog food is now 37.5 pounds and the price is like [More...]

This is possibly, one of the BEST spams I have ever, ever received. Scratch that, it may be one of the worst spams I’ve ever received. Guess it depends on your point of view.

I understand that I need to achieve this task because many of our customers clients and target audiences are still using IE6.

My question is, who are these people, and should they really be afforded the internet? [More...]

How long until radio is dead?
The equation(s) for it’s demise is coming together ever so quickly.
Do the math.
pandora.com +Â iPhone =Â no radio
blackberry storm + slacker.com = no radio
iPhone + www.rushlimbaugh.com = no radio (and bleeding ears)
iPhone + Traffic Report app = no radio
Sorry radio. I’ll send flowers.
Google Says… Touch Your Nose To Your Elbow!
So, in Google’s quest to take the entire www for their own, they’ve developed Chrome. The browser will allow you to surf the web by reading your mind. (hahaha) All you have to do is insert your pinky finger into any USB port on your computer and voila! you are searching Google’s seemingly endless database of what is on the web.
My actual thought for today is about the logo and what it means. Does anyone else think it looks like Google let Michael Bay go all transformers on the old [More...]
