Too smart for Twitter. Too stupid for Wordpress.

Baseball Hall of Fame, you confuse me.

Okay, let me get this straight. Bagwell does not deserve induction because he was a big guy in a time when many players used steroids. Not in the Mitchell Report. No positive tests. Blyleven was an ornery prick who complained every year about being ignored but who was a notorious asshole and who quit on his team and behaved like a child and never dominated and who like Don Sutton, was consistently solid to good but never great. Roberto Alomar spit in an umpire’s face intentionally and is alleged (obviously, only alleged) to have knowingly slept with two women while he (allegedly) had HIV due to some very strange happenstance in Mexico. I am so confused.

up and running again

by not so popular demand, am going to start this thing going again.

Come for the ideas, stay — and pay — for the coffee.

According to this weeks Advertising Age, agencies charged clients $964 an hour for top creative talent. Seemingly, super inflated billing rates at big ole’ agencies are the last bastion of traditional agency relationships.

Thanks to Ed Hardy for saving me time.

It used to take me seconds to discover someone was a raving asshole but now, thanks to ed hardy, if I see someone wearing an Audiger tee, I immediately know he/she is an asshole. Thanks again.

i suck at updating this.

will soon.

RIP John Hughes

Was not a huge fan of his later work, but if you aren’t a fan of sixteen candles, breakfast club, ferris, the vacation movies and planes, trains and automobiles, fuck off. He was an underrated writer and no one captured the tone of a generation better. He also understood the power of a soundtrack like few. If you think Garden State was the first movie of it’s kind, punch yourself in the face.

Why not a small agency?

I have worked at big agencies, mid sized and small. i really don’t understand the advantages of many client working with large agencies. You are often paying for their overhead and the further an assignment strays from a big agencies core competencies, the more likely they are to simply hire someone like us and mark up the costs. 

my review of HBO’s Hung

Meh.

How much to tell your kids about things over which they have no control.

Economy sucks. Business is down. Kids still ask for things. Constantly. How much do you concern them with? 

Training camp opens soon.

Thank the lord.
