A diversion from Marketing (at least directly, you could say that anything Nike is marketing), I received my Nike Amp+ Watch today. I already have an iPod Nano with the Nike+ kit. This means I have the mp3 player, and a chip that goes in my running shoe and a small receiver to plug into the...

Brunch on Sunday was a great time, this was an experiment for me that was an extension of the dinners that I used to do when I lived closer to downtown. Every quarter I would round up a crew from different walks of life for some varied conversation. It started to get a lot more difficult as...

As part of some lighter reading on the weekend, I stumbled upon an apology to 8 year old Dougie Walker, from fully grown Doug Walker that made me laugh out loud. I wanted to do my own list, but after some thought, there are some things that would be discouraging, but for the most part, Johnny...

You can’t take it back – I’m astonished that TBS is not showing the Champion Series in HD. I can’t even stand to watch it. It would be like switching back to dial-up internet. Ahhh, the joys of crushing the competition by using technology to kick it to the next...

I was catching up with Jeremiah’s blog and noticed that he is in Boston for the weekend. If you don’t know him, he used to work for PodTech and has recently taken a position with the analyst firm Forrester, covering web strategy/new media type stuff. I’ve offered him brunch...

I’m a headphone junkie. Somewhere around here I have a photo of me at 7 years old with these huge headphones that came from the 70′s. My quest for the perfect set continues, and the biggest problem I’ve had when looking to upgrade is to find information about how models...

Not that he would, of course. In fact, Mr. Rogers was decidedly against ass-kicking, but the truth remains that his power remains off the chart. As you can see from the diagram below from the labs at Studio N, Mr. Rogers could well be one of the most powerful forces in the universe. Mitch...
