Worlds Collide: Google Meets Kerouac
If you know me personally you know I’m a huge Jack Kerouac fan, I’ve been reading his amazing prose since my junior year of college at Marywood; just about everything from On The Road to Good Blonde and Lonesome Traveler.
My parents just bought me The Town And The City for Christmas; I’m really looking forward [...]

2010 New Years Resolutions – BLOG MORE!
Yes, I’m afraid I’m guilty of it; starting a blog and not updating it too often.
I started up this blog several months ago as an outlet for some of my thoughts on marketing, advertising, economics, travel, music and life (well, maybe a rant or two or three). In any case, I’m fallen into a pattern of blogging [...]
Where’d the Turkey go?
Today is November 15th and Thanksgiving is just a few days away; I’m sitting here scratching my head wondering where autumn has gone.
Besides my unrealistic desire to bend space and time and go back to early September (and drink pumpkin spice lattes forever) I’m kind angry about something… has America forgotten about Thanksgiving?
I was at [...]

Rain, Rain, Go Away
I’m tired of you.
You’ve been here too long; please go back to rain land.

I haven’t seen this much buzz inside of two days in the search space in months; we can probably blame the Web 2.0 [...]

Is Twitter (sometimes) that 12 year old gossip girl? Nah.
Okay, well not Twitter – but it’s users. Of which, I am a proud one (@mjoza). <– selfless promotional pitch there.
So, just a warning this post is more of a rant. If you’d like something more intelligent and scholarly I’d suggest turning on BBC news or NPR right about… now.
So I came home from work [...]

Just Because I like Your Commercial Dosen't Mean I'll Buy Your Product
I Think this has long been the mantra of many brand focused marketers:
Make a commercial people like; and they will buy my product.
Pick a flavor of the month celebrity, stick them in a funny scenario (say a desert island or a night club), come up with a catchy line and BAM: you’ve converted a viewer [...]
Thoughts on Bing (several months later)
I’ll be the first to admit that I was a little baffled and skeptical when Bing launch. I was really unclear on how it was going to slot into Microsoft’s grand scheme for online domination (of which has had hundreds of different faces and worn many hats over the years). And every time, up until [...]
