The French have been drinking PscHitt for more than half a century now. I don’t think we’ll be seeing the French drink in America (or anywhere that speaks English for that matter) any time soon. MMM… Look at that scrumptious PscHitt!
I remember the days when people would tell me that the Internet would make paper obsolete. Many people remember that from the late 90s. Of course, the last time I heard that was just a few days ago.

People have been telling me that I’ve been gifted with a great voice since I was a young child. I’m not talking about an American Idol kind of voice. I’m talking about speaking. I haven’t delivered a speech in nearly a decade. Outside of the interview of me by Dr. Joe Vitale about my advertising, [...]
Comfort Shoes
One might expect the most comfortable shoes in the world to come from a well known shoe brand, one of those companies that spend hundreds of millions of dollars a month on advertising. Instead, they come from a company that is well known for innovation but not necessarily footwear: Gadget Universe.

During the holiday of 2006, I posted a verbose blog about how Sharper Image is going down the tubes. My prediction was off by a few months, but reality has finally hit The Sharper Image management. Sharper Image Bankruptcy is now reality.
