Advertising II

Yesterday’s post about television advertising brought back some memories. Many years ago I remember seeing American TV ads for something called Rogaine. With Minoxidil (or so the ad stated). It sounded great, but nowhere in the commercial was it stated just what the drug was for. And I had no idea what either Rogaine or […]

Advertising I

I may have mentioned that I don’t watch much broadcast television. Too busy with other things to have my life revolve around a schedule I can’t control. Not to mention that I don’t find many of the shows appealing. On vacation though, things are different, the rhythms of life take a different pattern. Not to […]

Disruptive Generosity

I’m a city boy, so I was looking forward to reading a book about transforming cities.

Presenting The Case

I live across the street from a multiplex cinema. That means I see very few movies. I know that doesn’t make sense. The easy access should mean I would see more movies. My intentions are good, but something always comes up and the film I want to see is long gone by the time I […]
