…I have a market research project that’s as original as anything.  I’m looking at something that not even academics in my field have focused on.  And it’s all within my grasp, I need not be a PhD or use econometrics or other arcane math to figure it out. I am so hyped.

…stop what you’re doing, take some money out of the ATM, and sit down at the poker table with me.  I’m on a losing slide that will erase all my profits for the year if it continues another 4 or 5 sessions. Hey, the least I can do is make sure some of my friends…

Bloglines, I hardly knew ya.

In my opinion as a 12 year practitioner of the art and science of epolitics, one of the great new frontiers is the mobile channel.  I’m reasonable about it’s potential, as I don’t think we’re all going to suddenly migrate from PCs to our phones for web surfing.  Instead the mobile channel is going to…

Polyphonic Spree, “The Fragile Army”

By Shabbir | June 14, 2007 |

I’ve never been a big Polyphonic Spree fan.  There was a song or two I liked and I thought all their stuff sounded the same.  While they don’t seem to have branched out too much from their core sound, the new album "The Fragile Army" is them at their best.  There are a number of…

If I ever tell you I’m going to buy a power strip….
