Vegan Fried Green (and Red) Tomatoes
OK, OK, I’ve been tres lame on updating the old blogio. What can I say, running a home, a business, and preparing for becoming a foster parent is a bit trying. However, here’s a lil’ something to tide you over. Was talking to sister Dede this a.m. about her new low sodium diet and she […]

Why Windows Vista + Office 2007 will turn you into a Mac user
OK, it’s no secret that I’m not a big fan of Microsoft Products. I went through a period where they seemed to be working for me (last half of 2004 lol) and I wasn’t as vociferous, but I feel as though I really need to warn people about Windows Vista and Office 2007. They give […]

Marketing Gone Bad: Windows Mojave Experiment
OK, if you’ve been within 10 feet of me, or the internet equivalent of one degree of separation over the past few months, you know that I have been “living with Windows Vista” and it is completely horrible. Crashes, file loss, slowness, lots of software incompatibility, and the feeling that no one at Microsoft will […]

Hang up and drive . . .
You may know that California passed a law that you can’t talk on your cell phone while driving while it is held to your ear anymore. I made that sentence awkward on purpose, to illustrate that this is a very specific law with a lot of loopholes. You are still allowed to dial your […]

Does Facebook know I’m fat?
OK, I’m on the Facebook bandwagon, or put more eloquently “adults are the fastest growing demographic on Facebook.” What’s cool about FB is that you can make your own sidebar Ads that appear to very specific groups–I just created one for a new charity that I’m involved with. So, I chose to show my Ad […]

Rebranding the Bourgeois
OK, I’ve been pretty bad with my blog posts lately, and no I don’t have BFIBD, sadly. I do have “Starting A Company Induced Blog Demise,” which is keeping me very busy, more on this later. Don’t give up on us baby! I’ll be back. I have a MILLION things to blog about, from the […]

Marketing Disaster
Our local NBC station was the first to do it, to come up with a moniker for the horrible fires that we are having in San Diego: “Firestorm 2007″. Dun dun DUNNNNNN!!! While the local news stations did a great job covering the fires, they also relish in these types of disasters, I think. How […]

Fast Food Pyramid Scheme
I think it all started with Taco Bell’s Fourth Meal campaign–you know, what was formerly called the late night munchies. Just what you want at 2 a.m.–bad Mexican food! You were going to stay up all night anyway. Then, I saw McDonald’s came out with a Snack Wrap, pitching it to office workers who are […]

The Andy Rooney Demographic
Didja ever wonder . . . . I like to watch the national news every night. Granted, the US news is pretty lame in that they claim to be world news, but they concentrate on the US news far too much. Anyway, I like to see what’s happened in the world, and to be entertained […]

Marketing and Religion
All right, I need to be careful with this one–could be controversial. I have been noticing this church in my neighborhood with very artistic signage. Of course, being interested in marketing, I looked up their website. Very impressive from a design standpoint. I also went to this church in North Carolina last summer that was […]
