April 27th, 2009 · 10 Comments · Random Stuff

This week I’m taking a break from writing about trade show marketing in order to catch up on a few loose ends. In this post I’ll update on our tadpoles, talk about the Bad Behavior plugin to fight spam, and end with a rather humorous performance review I recently saw.

Trade Show Zombies, Spammers, and Tadpoles

April 6th, 2009 · 15 Comments · Random Stuff

I guess this post is a bit trade show related. I’ve noticed that my blog must be becoming a bit famous, at least based on the amount of spam comments I am getting. It used to be a few spam comments a week, but now it’s dozens a day. And I noticed that the majority […]

two quick jokes

This is another filler post. I don’t have any new trade show wisdom to share this week, but if you need a trade show marketing fix you can read about trade show zombies, trade show giveaway pens, or green trade show displays. So for this week, it’s just filler, but at least it’s funny filler […]

Remember When

March 16th, 2009 · 2 Comments · Random Stuff

I was going to title this post, “A Lack of Appreciation“, but I decided that sounds too crotchety and negative, so I’ll go with “Remember When“. This post is really just a funny video, with a few introductory comments from yours truly. I’ve never heard of the comedian in this clip, and I’ve never watched […]

Respect Authority

I’ve got a new post about trade show marketing on the way, but it’s still stuck in my noggin. It has yet to make it out through my fingertips and into my computer. So if you need a trade show marketing fix, you’ll have to read about trade show giveaway pens or trade show zombies. […]

Watch This Video Or Else…

February 10th, 2009 · 14 Comments · Random Stuff

Since I just wrote a post about trade show zombies, and not too long before that wrote about trade show booths, I figure I can have a little fun and write about a few things again that have nothing to do with trade shows or trade show marketing. With that in mind, I recently saw […]

It Snows in the Winter

January 27th, 2009 · 13 Comments · Random Stuff

It snows in the winter. “Duh”, you say? Well, for some of us living on the coast in Southern California, we tend to forget there are four seasons. It’s really not that hard to forget that there is something called “winter”, especially when one has a tomato plant in the backyard that never got pulled […]

My Wife is Famous

January 20th, 2009 · 21 Comments · Random Stuff

Just like when you’re designing trade show booths and it’s critical to pick a clear and compelling tag line, when you’re writing a blog post, it’s equally important to pick a clear and compelling post title, preferably with your targeted keywords in it, and with a twist or teaser that will make a reader or […]

Balance

A week ago my family and I went to a local park. There is a dry stream bed that runs through the park, and we were walking along it exploring when we came across these rock piles. I was stunned. The photograph doesn’t really do them justice. I felt like I had just come across […]

Chainsaw Powered B29 Model Airplane Video

December 28th, 2008 · 6 Comments · Random Stuff

I saw an awesome video of a chainsaw-powered B29 bomber model airplane a month or so ago, and filed it away in my memory in the event I might need a “filler post” over the holidays. Well, the day for that filler post has arrived. The video is nothing short of amazing. It takes a […]
