[Journal] - I’m Busier Than I Thought I’d Be…

Thursday, September 18th, 2008

So let’s be honest here –I never set up this blog with the intention of updating it every single day. But now that some of my articles are starting to get picked up by search engines and linked by readers, I’m seeing a lot more traffic than I used to.
So, it’s time for me to [...]

[Journal] - Code of the Wild is Ready For Action!

Tuesday, August 12th, 2008

It’s been a busy few weeks, hence the lack of updates. First of all, I finished my undergraduate degree in business administration with an emphasis in marketing. It took me ten years, but it was worth it.

I’ve had enough inquiries that I’m going to tell the story. But [...]

[Journal] - I Guess I DO Know What I’m Talking About…

Thursday, January 24th, 2008

As I’ve mentioned elsewhere on this blog, I’m a member of the American Marketing Association. This year, I entered the annual student case competition with a team from my school. The case involved McGraw-Hill Higher Education, a textbook publisher that’s trying to figure out how to enhance its presence on the web and make more [...]
