Naptown Jams
Saw a new Seinfeld Microsoft Ad
With Gates, finally. And I liked it! I mean seriously, long-term, who would you put your money behind?: The company with an elusive, abrasive, know-it-all leader? The company with a philanthropic, self-deprecating leader? Anyone notice that Apple “had no comment” when iTunes 8.0 totally jacked up computers? Not even a Consumerist-irritating “we take this seriously” PR release? Ever get the [...]A Rare Summer Post (It’s Time I Talked Obama)
I figured something out the last few months. I’m a poor-weather blogger. There’s just too much to do during the months here in Indianapolis when the weather is nice. And the last few months our weather is really nice. So rather than spending my free time blogging I’ve been enjoying the great outdoors. Still, a [...]A Month in the Life of Naptown Jams: Music
I’m caving in to a blogging bad habit, the Summary Post. June 2008 is an absolute blur…in a good way. I’ve been all over the place, literally and figuratively, and I almost feel like I should write about it just to help myself remember it all. So I’m going to put it into a few different [...]Will You Still Call It Kinko’s?
First it was Kinko’s, which is quirky and catchy, and was the name used to build the business into an empire. Then Federal Express became FedEx, and then they bought Kinko’s, and then they changed the name of Kinko’s to FedEx Kinko’s. That in itself was a risky move, in that they faced [...]100 Best Products, Sliced and Diced
PC World recently released their 100 Best Products of 2008. Always a great topic for debate, these “Top/Best” lists, no? Doesn’t matter, what appeals to me is the navigation capabilities of the list. Look at it in ranked order, ABC order, category order, most anticipated (in pictures), or by readers’ top choices. Jason’s highlights and lowlights: #1 Hulu: [...]Starbucks Frees the Wi-Fi!
In what might be the first of my blog requests to actually come true, Starbucks has set its Wi-Fi free. All you have to do is buy a reloadable Starbucks card and register it at Starbucks.com. Voila…you get up to two hours of consecutive free Wi-Fi daily at Starbucks stores, via AT&T. No catch (that I [...]“The evolution of mobile handsets” (boingboing gadgets video)
Take a trip down mobile phone memory lane via this rad video. How many of your old phones do you spot? I think I came up with 4 or 5, and I didn't even see my last two. I had completely forgotten I even had some of these old models, and I've only had a [...]Macy’s Commits to the Environment. Will Others Follow?
If other companies pick up on the moves recently made by Macy’s, they might just make the world a slightly better place while they sell people stuff. Macy’s made a serious commitment, with business practices instituted to help “protect and preserve” the environment: They began carrying 100% natural cotton reusable tote bags. They replaced their laminated paper bag, which was [...]Will Barnes & Noble Buy Borders?
I’m no news outlet, but based on some of the search results that send people to my blog, people want more information about reports like this. So go here or here for more on news that Barnes & Noble might try to buy Borders. Don’t go to WSJ.com for the original story because they will [...]And You Think Your Job Requires You to Walk on Water?

Book Publishers are Competitors to Amazon?
Barely a footnote at the end of a Publishers Weekly column about market share for online retailers versus bricks-and-mortar booksellers was this:
"With Amazon's growing power in book sales, it's understandable that publishers may be a bit anxious on learning that in Amazon's 10-k filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission, the compa…

What Next for Circuit City, Blockbuster, Linens -N- Things?
You're not buying enough bedding, kitchen utensils, or other household knickknacks, apparently, because Linens -N- Things is about to declare bankruptcy. A restructuring firm has been hired already. Go here to if you want to read a dull article full of lots of numbers and not enough straightforward talk about why this might be happening.
And Blockbuster wa… Continue
