Reading time: < 1 minutes Sometimes I’ll flip through my photo library and one immediately pops out that conjures up some emotion. This one’s focused on a specific experience. One that seems to be hurdling uncontrollably downhill. And that’s a combination of what I call “web page crap” and “crap experience”. One leads to the other. The web page crap, […]

ChatGPT’s success: Good enough
Reading time: < 1 minutes I wonder if Google is slow in being proactive and reactive? Guess time will tell. How Google missed this moment is not a simple matter of a blind spot. It’s a case of an incumbent being so careful about its business, reputation, and customer relationships that it refused to release similar, more powerful tech. And […]

Reading time: < 1 minutes In December 2019, I flew down to Phoenix, Arizona to meet my dad and to watch the Cleveland Browns play the Arizona Cardinals. Since I was there a few days early, I walked the streets with camera in hand and visited coffee shops, restaurants, bars and art installations. Photography (and video) is a fairly recent […]

Consume *this*. (05/24/22)
Reading time: 2 minutes Random thoughts I consume a lot of information. That’s what these articles are aimed at – sharing my thoughts on today’s business communications and marketing stories.
