I know, I’m using a Sprint tag line as my title to showcase an AT&T commercial. Ironic, huh Regardless, I love the ease in which this commercial exemplifies how today’s technologies help people connect faster and easier than ever before. In this example the social net is used for good. But, what happens when it’s used […]
I gotta admit, I’m starting to get scared. In a post-twitter world, the whiners have come out of the closet like bees to honey. In these days, the mommy bloggers and twitterati’s heads are growing. Their sense of entitlement has exploded. More and more, I’m seeing stories like this one about Wynn and a Maytag Washing […]

Although I’m honestly more on the side of the Practitioners. But, here’s my rub: People like Brogan and Fitton (aka […]
I love working in Vegas. Honestly, I do. I mean, I just bat my eyelashes and everyone and their mom wants to work with a “uber cool” Strip property. Think Pepsi, Ford, Coca-Cola, AMEX, Absolut Vodka, Panasonic, Nintendo, Southwest, Travelocity and the list goes on. From sports to food to alcohol to you name it, we’ve […]
Just two months after writing it, my wish sort of came true. United Airlines broke Dave Carroll’s guitar. He, understandably, was very upset. After almost a year of trying to navigate the “normal” channels, he wrote a song. He posted it to YouTube. What happened? Well… In 20 short days: – The YouTube video has 4,136,582 views – […]
