  • The Obama Marketing Vice-Grip

    Now that we’re a bit removed from the elections the picture is getting more clear to see how exactly Obama won roughly 70% of the electoral college. While I’m sure there are tons of political types on television who will take the politics of it apart, I thought I’d offer some observations of the campaign…

  • Finding a church home: Pre-search thoughts

    This week marks the beginning of a new era. For the first time in more than 10 years Kristen and I begin a search for a new church home. Sure, there were other searches before– but they were always tied to employment so that’s a little different. Now that I don’t have a church job…

  • The Google Fridge

    Sometimes you see something and you think, “Can that be true?“ Apparently Google rewarded some of their bigger advertisers with this little dandy of a logo item. It’s a mini-fridge. Actually it is so cool that it both cools and warms things depending on your preference. Also, it comes with a car connector for using…

  • Whopper Freakout: Freakish Solid Marketing

    I don’t like Burger King and I can’t stand the Whopper. But this video is flat out good marketing. What do you think? What is it about this video that you like? Dislike?
