American Greetings
Posted by: theprotagonist5 on: November 22, 2006
I have been a fan of American Greeting’s cards for a long time now and I just found out that they have 16 free christmas wallpapers for your desktop that you can download on their site that are just as cute as the cards they sell. I used to buy hallmark cards years ago (who didn’t?) and over [...]
Flying cats
Posted by: theprotagonist5 on: November 22, 2006
This should be a marketing campaign for cat food.
These cats in Japan have a nice life in an appartment and enjoy the fun playtime that produces these amazing pictures.
Thanks to Junku for sharing them with us all.
I think some cat food company should sponsor him. Or maybe a kitty litter company?
Thanksgiving?
Posted by: theprotagonist5 on: November 17, 2006
Its not even thanksgiving yet, and Michigan Ave is all decorated already and they have bands out there playing carols, and kids singing in choirs.
What about the Turkey thing? The whole “we came all the way to america to name streets the same as they were in england and kill flightless birds” thing?
Someone was asking [...]
The Catholic Show Podcast
Posted by: theprotagonist5 on: November 17, 2006
I think the word podcast has finally made its way into most American’s vocbularies. Over the past 3 years the number of podcasts has increased exponentially because of the ability of the iPod to take so many song/audio files digitally with you easily and because of new affordable software that makes editing audio and video much easier [...]
Marketing Bonanza
Posted by: theprotagonist5 on: November 17, 2006
I just read that the big news in Europe isn’t TomKat’s wedding this weekend in Rome, its that Prince William is getting engaged. The press in the US hasn’t really picked up on it, or maybe us Americans are just tired of the Royal Family. Anyway, he is getting engaged to a Kate Middleon. What a [...]

Posted by: theprotagonist5 on: November 17, 2006
I’ve posted about the deals available through the discount coupon codes online at cuponchief.com before, but I thought I’d mention it again since the holidays are upon us and people are activley looking for a good deal on gifts for friends, family and coworkers.
One section that I think is particularly useful for finding good deals on [...]

I just have to mention this new wakeup call service/site I’ve been using latley.
Sign up for a free Snoozester account
Its a pretty cheap service and they just ring your phone with an automated (sometimes funny) message. When you answer you hit 1 if you’re awake or if you don’t it will call you back again [...]
Uggs for Winter
Posted by: theprotagonist5 on: November 17, 2006
My feet are freezing today. The office is always cold despite all the computers running. You’d think that would warm things up abit, but it doesn’t. I made the mistake to wear fancy shoes today, with an open toe. While they’re pretty and businesslike, they are not warm. As soon as I get home tonight I [...]
Milton Friedman & my dad
Posted by: theprotagonist5 on: November 17, 2006
We should all put down our pencils and have a moment of silence for Milton Friedman today. He passed away yesterday. You may or may not have known who he was before the news mentioned his passing, but its still worthwhile to learn about him and his economic theories now.
I had Dr. Gomberg for a teacher [...]
Diesel Performance
Posted by: theprotagonist5 on: November 16, 2006
I am related to gearheads. I grew up around people who talked about cars, airplanes and trains all the time. I just learned by osmosis. Plus I am a fan of all things fast, and of horsepower. So I was pretty suprised that with all my yearsof being around and with gearhead type car people [...]
King Tut
Posted by: theprotagonist5 on: November 16, 2006
I went to see the Field Museum’s King Tut exhibit in Chicago this weekend and recomend it if you are into antiquities and artifacts. Its a looong exhibit so wear comfortable shoes. You will be waiting in a maze of lines first for a while, then you will be dodging other people as you try to [...]

Many self help books and CDs have big promises for a little money. They know that the majority of us want to change and just haven’t found the way to get the most change with the least effort. Well that’s the principle with these new “Business” CDs from Donald Trump’s Trump University. Learn the Art of Buying [...]

1. Artvertising – what happens when 2.0 goes offline

3. JellyFish – fish like shopping, JellyFish masters it.
4. Podlinez – get podcasts on your phone! Just dial the number and listen. What a great way to avoid confrontation on the train [...]
Marketing tip of the day:
Posted by: theprotagonist5 on: November 16, 2006
Never believe a media sales person. Make your decisions on marketing media buys based on your own data.
I recently changed jobs and went from seeing one side of data to working with a company that works with many other companies, so I see all kinds of data for this industry. The past place I worked [...]
