Gary Vaynerchuk Expanded My Palate

In: Culture

This year’s Boston Wine Expo was not at all what I was expecting. Never having been to one, I figured it would be a pleasant affair where well mannered folks waited patiently to taste and discuss their favorite expensive grape juices*. Instead it was ravenous wine fans pushing their way past others to get every [...]

Caveat: This is fun and non-scientific and directional. It took me about 15 minutes. I created three groups of posts:

all posts about Scott Brown
all about Martha Coakley
all posts about Scott Brown and Martha Coakley

And through the magic of Social Media Monitoring (thanks @Radian6)…
Both Candidates are Campaigning Hard

Looks Like Brown Has a Slight Edge in [...]

What Discontinued Products and Brands Do You Miss?

In: Culture

Are old product advertisements burned into your mind the way they are into mine? I randomly recall several every day. This morning, it was Keebler Suncheros. In fact, that one is on medium rotation. I hope someday that I will be able to access my brain as if it were a Linux drive mount so [...]

#followfriday @agrahamwilcox <- Must follow for NBA fans
Today, Brad Ward decided to take it all [...]

I just wanted to proclaim that the Boston University Terriers are far superior to my beloved Miami University Redhawks. I would also like to encourage you to follow the incomparable Rebecca Corliss on twitter! . Which I would recommend whether I lost [...]

If Hillary Was an Obama Mama.

In: Culture, Social Media

According to Volkswagen’s RoutanBabymaker3000, powered by Oddcast, this is what Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama’s daughter would look like. She’s a cutie!

And here’s their son. He’s a dashing young lad.

This thing is brilliant. I don’t know if it will sell minivans, but it will get people talking and making babies. Impressions Impressions Impressions! [...]

5 Reasons Americans Would Like Soccer
