Ash Wednesday

by Josh at 10:27 pm

I had been thinking for a while of what would be my Lenten sacrifice this year.  Oddly enough, the decision was made for me.  And I think it’s a good one.  For Lent this year, I will be giving up having a car.  What’s interesting is that this is a sacrifice that I never could [...]

Marketing You Can’t Buy

But you can pay restitution on it.  I’ll admit: I’m amused by all of the outrage that’s flying around (from both sides) about the whole Aqua Teen Hunger Force/Boston fiasco.  It seems to me that Turner stands to make a lot of money off of it, as was mentioned in a recent AJC article.  The [...]

Book 7–Two Weeks After 07/07/07

by Josh at 5:59 pm

I’m sure it’s not news to anyone now, but Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows will be hitting bookstores on July 27, 2007–a day that will undoubtedly set records for book sales. Interestingly, the date is very close to what was predicted by some fans who thought that “Book 7 — 07/07/07″ was the [...]
