Origins of Jedemi - One in a Series

The other day it crossed my  mind that I should provide some background on how my Jedemi project came about.  It’s been years in the making.  In fact, I tied the beginning to the purchase of my first Jeep in June 1993.  But really, the seeds were planted long before that.
So here are a few [...]

Large Washer is Good - New LG Ad Campaign

The email blast had this headline, “LG Looms Large” followed by a tease about a giant bra. I’ll admit that had me scratching my head. In my mind, LG was a manufacturer of some snazzy phones — like the superphone unveiled last week at CES called the non-memorable (and not creative) GW990.

Taking in Tyler’s Place

On a non-sunny Sunday, we decided to wander into Mill Valley and check out the retail outlet that Food Network chef Tyler Florence had opened there. Felt a lot like William Sonoma meets Home Chef. The location is actually where the first ever Banana Republic stood.

The Importance of Play…

I just came across an Op-Ed piece (The New York Times Sunday Opinion) by Alison Gopnik that I had saved from August titled, “Your Baby Is Smarter Than You Think.” As I reread it, I smiled. There are some really good points and those points reminded me of something we often lose as we [...]

Blending Quality of Life and Fresh, Seasonal Food

I stumbled upon an old issue of Fortune Small Business the other day and found a very inspiring story about how Alice Waters started Chez Panisse. It talked about the challenges she had back in 1971 when she first opened in her place in Berkeley, California.
“In no time I had 50 employees, and I [...]

Kudos to The Sun v4.0!

MocoNews had a post that highlighted a really clever ad that a UK paper, The Sun, did as part of its 40 years in business celebration.  It is fun to watch and makes some interesting points about being a great handheld — a play off the gadgets (iPhone, BlackBerry, Droid, Palm Pre) that we run [...]

There’s a map for that (updated)… Verizon’s swipe at Apple

I was aware of the ad campaign where Verizon was touting how its coverage was better than AT&T’s. To me, it was a total “duh!” because my friends who have iPhones have been complaining big time about AT&T.
