Re: Small Business Branding
You wanna talk about branding? Check out this chick. Diane and Walter, who I’m going to assume are husband and wife, run a business called Novel Website Design. That link goes to their services page. Check out the names of their packages. Get it? Emulate this. This is fucking brilliant.
Re: Seasonal Marketing
There is a bar in this city with bad food, reasonable drinks, and the best patio in the history of patios. Nobody older than 23 would actually sit on that patio most of the time because it’s chock full of students being, well, students. On their little sign out front today it says:
“110 Days Until The Students Return. Come To Our Patio While You Still Can.”
Never would have crossed my mind. Now what am I going to do tonight? I’m going to this bar. Fucking brilliant, once again.
Re: Parenting
My son Michael will be nine in a few weeks. He is getting a PlayStation Portable — like a GameBoy on steroids — for his birthday. At the time of this statement, he did not know this.
“When I told Grammy I wanted a PSP for my birthday she looked at me like I was out of my mind. She’s like, [Grammy voice] What are you going to do with it?” She always asks that. About everything. Always. [Grammy voice again.]”What are you going to do with it? What are you going to do with it?” It’s a video game system. I’m going to play video games. What does she think I’m going to do with it? Use it as a hammer? Sew with it?”
He is so much like me I don’t know whether to cry or give him a high five.
