Do you suck?

People often think, “I suck, and that’s the reason I don’t have blog, because it will suck too.”

They are wrong. I believe that if you truly suck, you probably need a blog more than anyone else.

Here is the thing. If you are Steve [...]

At the airport today, I saw a guy taking off some banner ads and putting up new ones. So I went up and asked, “where does the old flyers go?” While outdated, these are still beautifully designed and printed colorful pictures that are guaranteed conversation starters if I have them on my wall.

Sony BMG didn’t invent iTunes?

NBC didn’t invent Yahoo?

Yahoo didn’t invent Twitter?

…the list goes on.

Sometimes, we are so caught up in blindly defending our industry, we lose touch with the outside world.
