Pop Quiz

OK, without looking anywhere else, try to complete the lyrics to this very well-known song: “I wear my sunglasses at night, so I can, so I can…” I’ve yet to find someone who can do this, which is strange because this has got to be one of the more quoted lines from one-hit wonder history. […]

Two Halves of the Orange

This is the best thing to ever happen as a result of me eating citrus fruit, aside from not having scurvy. It’s my last day in my current work placing today, which is really too bad since I just came up with an idea that is probably moving forward, and I would like to be […]

Selling Experiences: product development vs. marketing

Is this sign the product, is it marketing the product, or both?
