Brand Loyalty.

February 28, 2008

Ok, yes. This is going to be another Starbucks posting. Just warning you ahead of time …
Every morning before I make my way into the office, I stop at a local Starbucks closest to work. For the past six months, the Starbucks crew has managed to remember my name, my order and occasionally the [...]

New Wendy’s Ads.

February 27, 2008

Wendy’s has nixed the (in my opinion) horrible ads with the man sporting the Wendy’s wig and prancing around obnoxiously.
Now, they’ve gone with a more tasteful approach to their products. It’s hard to make a fast food fish sandwich look appetizing, but I think they’re headed in the right direction this time.

*Beep*ing Ben Affleck.

February 27, 2008

Ok, so. I’m sure most of you have seen the Sarah Silverman video professing her love to Matt Damon on the Jimmy Kimmel show.
Have you seen the retaliation video made by Jimmy?
Well done, Jimmy. Well done.

Struggling Starbucks?

February 22, 2008

I recently read this article on Brandweek updating the caffeine addicts on their expensive habit.
I, personally, loved their breakfast sandwiches and thought it was a great addition to my coffee. (That’s when I could find a store that actually sold them. They were beginning to turn up in South Beach, but it looks like that [...]

A great inspiration to give someone that warm and tingly feeling. Even if you don’t know them.
Start designing your notes and leaving them around the city. I think I’ll start with leaving one in my favorite place - Starbucks.

Bonnaroo!

February 15, 2008

I stumbled on this site by accident and IMMEDIATELY got excited! Coachella tickets sold out before I could get a pair and it looks like I’m just in time to get a pretty close lineup in Tennessee!
Tickets go on sale tomorrow. Pretty pricey … but worth every penny!
Some of the bands I’d like an earful [...]

If you get bored …

February 12, 2008

Destroy a website! As I was sifting through one of my many favorite website collections, I came across this site.
I had fun with my own site. Spilling coffee on it, spray painting, and hacking it up with a chainsaw.

iConcertCal.

February 6, 2008

I’ve always wanted something other than House of Blues, Ticketmaster, and Hard Rock Live emails to tell me if some of my favorite music artists are going to be in town. Half of the time, the emails tell me about bands I’ve never heard of or not interested in.
So finally I found a solution. iConcertCal. [...]
