Welcome to my weblog! Where you get to hear from me every few months about some random thought that I felt was worth sharing.

Blog Crossroads
Filed under: @ 1:28 pm

I guess I should have written this post months ago. Maybe even years ago… but what the heck should I do with this blog? Facebook has entirely taken over for my blog and anything I would have posted here I post there instead.

I suppose I can pick a topic and try to share topical things on this blog… make it useful to a certain set of people. I could make it a journal of sorts, as I learn various aspects of my new role as a market research analyst (my internship has been extended twice already).

Does anyone even read this any more? I’m going to put Google Ads on the site in the hopes that it cuts some of my losses on Web hosting.

Tropicana reverts to original package design
Filed under: @ 5:30 pm

I was thrilled to read that Tropicana will be reverting to its old package design. Last year, Tropicana replaced one of the most effective package designs I’ve ever seen with a lame, generic, difficult-to-read design that nobody particularly liked. People all over the Internet were complaining about it and I never heard one positive comment regarding the new design. Amazingly, Tropicana listened and is reverting to their original design with the easy to read color coding. Bravo Tropicana for listening to your customers!

Smoking Doctors
Filed under: @ 6:12 pm

I’ve always found the concept of smoking doctors to be very ironic, so I thought I’d share this article about a collection of cigarette ads featuring endorsements from medical professionals and other celebrities. I didn’t know Santa smoked Pall Malls!
