If this is your first time checking out the auction results you can start here for the whole story. The dust has settled and the results are in. Here’s the tale of the table: How about that Tiger Woods. Yes, you read it right – FREE SHIPPING. And the final graph: Some interesting...

This weekend I went with my wife to her 15th reunion at Williams College. You would be harder pressed to find a greater disparity than the difference between the communication with a Williams grad versus what I receive from my alma mater, University of Massachusetts in Amherst. My wife is...

Follow up to the Social Media Consultant Auction. While checking out the rates I found a similar offer to Golf with Tiger Woods. We’ll call that one an outlier. Popularity: 1%...

I really enjoy Drew Carey, we always used to have a stack of “Whose Line is It?” on the TiVo (no chance of that now because the Verizon FIOS DVR is a POS). Here’s some weekend fun, even though I’ve seen this show all my life I only appreciate it as a product placement...

I can’t draw worth a damn, but when I thought of this it made me laugh so much that I had to put it on paper. He was crazy, and every one my age loved him. I didn’t need to believe a man could fly, I saw it. The guy was a Natural Born Marketeer too, think about it – he took...

This weekend, after the pulse pounding Michael Bay-esque software development conference, my dear wife dragged me off to the mall for some shopping (as in – she shops, I sit around and do nothing). Luckily I had a secret weapon in my arsenal. I had received a postcard earlier in the week...
