Casual Fridays

Via the Tom Peters! blog, I was introduced to a great NXTBook (yeah, I had never heard of that either) by Rajesh Setty, Personal Branding for Technology Professionals. It’s a great resource for identifying and promoting your personal brand. Not a technology professional? No problem. There are some examples and points […]

Jose put together a cute and clever parody of Apple’s recent ads. This time we get to see how mass media networks compare to podcasts.

My friend Bill Kinnon is lamenting the fact that even a 1.1 terabyte hard drive is no longer enough to store all of his video files (he does television production).
HD television bumps up the demand. We’ll see where that leads the supply chain.
Guess that’s why we call them hard drives. The soft version […]

In a previous post, I discussed how major telcos were flashing their swords pertaining to the neutrality of the net.

Based on this NPR story, the threat appears to be working.

Not to be a Chicken Little, but this is starting to get scary.

Well, I’m a day late in celebrating the first anniversary of Casual Fridays.
I have learned so much through the last year of blogging here. I hope you’ve found it beneficial to drop in each week. The next year will be much different and I’ll have some exciting news to share very soon about […]

According to the gamer blog Kotaku, Burger King is developing a campaign to offer BK-branded video games to customers for approximately $4 each. Apparently, the campaign will include three Xbox/Xbox 360 games in different game genres: fighter, racing, and action (similar to Halo).

It is interesting to see Burger King focus so hard on the […]

The #1 search term that brings people to this blog isn’t “branding” or “marketing.” Almost 3 times more popular than the #2 search term (casual fridays) is “dentyne-ism.”
I’ve never blogged about Dentyne or their Dentyne-isms. Paughnee Moore made a comment about them on my Talking Sauce post.
The interesting thing isn’t that I’m the […]

I’ll be upgrading from WordPress 2.0 to 2.2 today. So, if you experience hiccups in your hopefully usually excellent Casual Friday experience, I ask for grace. Trackback spam is getting cumbersome.
Update:
You can now click on the header to return the main page of my blog. I’ve been trying to make that happen […]

If you haven’t checked out Squidoo, well it is worth a visit. By searching Seth Godin’s brainchild, I’ve found some great information on HR and ideas for a professional organization to which I belong.
Check out my lens when you have a moment. I haven’t really figured out what I want it to do, […]

Antony is staying on top of AT&T’s apparent misrepresentation of services offered (or at the least inconsistent representation).

Check out Anthony’s post over at Names@Work to see how this one turned out.
Left hand (advertising) meet right hand (website). Apparently AT&T doesn’t go hand-in-hand with itself.
It appears AT&T (or their ad agency) is trying to attach […]
