Sales Prevention Tips, Brought to You by AT&T

AT&T is giving a clinic on what happens when the marketing people insist on rushing a product to market before the back end is ready to handle the demand. For several months, I have been assaulted with promotional direct mail jocking AT&T's new broadband/video service called U-Verse. In increasingly shrill terms, AT&T has insisted that I will enjoy a better video experience and more robust broadband by switching from my current providers. I have been itching for YEARS to dump Bright… Continue

On Global Warming and more...

Dear Bruce-- What do you think is the salient difference between today’s Americans and the Americans of the mid-2oth century, the so-called Greatest Generation? –Flummoxed in Fortville Dear Flummoxed– We gotta say you are one clever linguist, sticking that “salient” right there in the middle of your kinda ho-hum question. It just so happens that we have a bee in our bonnet during this primary season, and feel the need to vent. Please allow us to oversimplify. In America… Continue

At 3:33pm on February 21st, 2008, Henry Kurkowski said…: Yes! It has been there since 2004 and it was the first free public hot zone in the great state of Indiana. Thanks for catching my spelling mistake. Spelling is my worst character flaw. It is comes from a mixture of a slight dyslexia, plain old laziness and an addiction to automatic spell checking.

Do we meet to discuss things or perhaps put out a call for additional stunt committee members from the existing Blog-IN membership? Let me know your what your thinking. --Ken
