It's the last day of the year.  Actually the last day of the decade.  This post is a bit different than what you normally see on 10e20 (and definitely a lot shorter) but please bear with me :) What do you want to accomplish in 2010?  What will you change in 2010 and beyond?  What are the changes… [read more]

Domino's Pizza recently underwent a product overhaul after their pizza was ranked among the worst in a taste test (tied with Chuck E. Cheese -- ouch). Their new recipe boasts a new garlic crust, 100% mozzarella cheese with a hint of provolone, and a "sauce that's boss." The company even set up a micro-site… [read more]

Kristy Bolsinger wrote a great post on her blog about a Seattle radio station's foot-in-mouth Twitter incident. I've stolen (er, I mean "borrowed") her screen capture and displayed it below: Yikes. 107.7 isn't extremist talk radio, it's an alternative rock station.

Deadlines can be a motivating factor most of the time, but you can’t perpetuate the design process forever -- sometimes you just have to trust that its wings are strong enough to fly. When working on a project like a new tool, a program,… [read more]

Chang's, a Chinese restaurant chain. This week I received a card in the mail from P.F. Chang's. It thanked me for… [read more]

Maybe most recognizable from “The Man Show,” Adam Carolla recently set up a podcast (warning: can be explicit) in 2009 when his job as a radio personality was terminated in the spring due to a station format change.  Before breaking into radio, Adam was a carpenter/boxing instructor, a blue collar… [read more]

In the age of social media madness, you've probably been scrambling to sign up for various social networking profiles and have implemented a blog or forum for your website.
