Behavior Grid →

Insanely interesting. jbatistaa: What are various ways in which we can change our behaviors? This behavior grid details 15 ways that behavior can change on the spectrums of degree of change x sustainability of change. The grid is outcome-driven, based on the change we want to exhibit. It would also be interesting to understand how we achieve those various outcomes and the nuances and...

Alcohol was invented for family vacations

I can almost definitively say that alcohol was invented by a frazzled person who went on a family vacation. I am not a big drinker, in fact that I do not drink at all, but this vacation I have considered drinking. How does one cope with the constant nagging? Drink. How do you cope with the bickering? Drink. How do you cope with the tension? Drink. Lesson I have learned: Week long family vacations...

Holidays in Adulthood

I have always loved the winter holidays. There is no doubt, Christmas is my absolute favorite holiday. I start listening to Burl Ives, Bing Crosby and the Nutcracker on December 1st and don’t stop until I go to sleep on the 25th. They always bring my back to same child-like and juvenile wonder I felt on Christmas eve and the month long intense anticipation. I still feel that today, but it is...

My Social Media Brain Hurts.

Is it me or are all mobile social networks becoming the same? Facebook has Places and photos, Twitter has places and photos, Instagram is photos with likes, comments, and locations. And now Foursquare has added comments and photos. Why? My social-networking-constantly-connected brain is about to explode. Now when I arrive at the coffee shop in the morning, I will have to make a big decision -...

Why do I check-in? No clue.

My friends will usually roll their eyes when I break out my phone as we sit down to brunch or pop into a store. They know what I am about to do. I am checking in on foursquare on my phone. Location -based apps are supposedly the next big thing when it comes to advertising/marketing/technology, but I still can’t figure out what exactly I am getting out of it. Why do I want to tell people on...

Just Give Me a Union Suit →

Every year my mom asks my sister and I what we want for christmas. Every year we give pretty much the same answer. My sister has been keeping with the theme “Cashmerical Christmas” for the last 5 years now. Yes, it is as ridiculous as it sounds. She wants everything in cashmere. A cashmere blanket, cashmere socks, cashmere sweaters and I am sure if she could find them, cashmere...

Think Different.

Like a lot of people, in the last few weeks, I have been glued to the conversation about the future of advertising. What is the next big thing? Will it be mobile apps? tablet computing? location-based services? Now, I may be just a ‘young buck’ when it comes to be in this industry, but all of this talk just seems so silly. Why are we so obsessed with the delivery method? Yes, I know,...
