Thursday, June 24th, 2010

Sure, you can get great classical literature at Project Gutenberg to download as e-books or even to convert to computer-generated ‘audiobooks’ (although you might not like listening to Ode to a Grecian Urn as interpreted orally by a text-to-voice software program).

Major design flaw with Amazon’s Kindle: can it be fixed?

Tuesday, March 9th, 2010

I believe there is a major design flaw with the current Kindle, and all models up until now.

On the first page, it encourages the reader by stating that it’s easier than learning a foreign language.  It’s also easier for marketers to give things an ‘exotic’ foreign […]

The Most Important Concept in Marketing began when? and I don’t know about it!

Wednesday, January 27th, 2010

Although the precise year for the promulgation of an idea that could have a vast effect on marketing could be argued, I’d put it at 1956.  It was the year Edward Sapir, the linguist, published and promulgated much of the writings he and his colleague Benjamin Lee Whorf had accumulated over a fifteen-year period in a […]
