A Little Over the Top

November 18th, 2004  |  by Tommy  |  published in Culture, Stuff

Ok, this is a little over-the-top. Hardee’s has just introduced a 1,420 calorie hamburger with 107 grams of fat. It includes two one-third-pound slabs of Angus beef, four strips of bacon, three slices of cheese and mayonnaise on a buttered sesame seed bun. The sandwich alone sells for $5.49 or $7.09 with a medium fries […]

Cheney’s Gaffe

October 6th, 2004  |  by Tommy  |  published in Stuff

In a rather strange childlike moment, Cheney told John Edwards that the two of them had never met before last night’s debate, despite the fact Edwards is a serving senator and Cheney’s the body’s presiding officer. But asAtrios pointed out, one can easily discover a citation of a prayer breakfast the two men attended together […]

SpaceShipOne Captures X Prize

October 4th, 2004  |  by Tommy  |  published in Stuff

Yesterday the SpaceShipOne team (no government funding) captured the $10 million X Prize (based in St. Louis I might add). To win the contest the SpaceShipOne team had to send the same vehicle to a height of 62-miles twice in two weeks. Today at around 11:00 AM EST the craft fired its rockets and eventually […]

Looks vs. Policy

September 29th, 2004  |  by Tommy  |  published in Stuff

On the eve of the first debate shouldn’t we be talking a little more about the war on terror, a record budget deficit, health care, and education But no, the "talking heads" are talking about Kerry’s "fake" tan.

A Fridge to Behold

September 25th, 2004  |  by Tommy  |  published in Photography, Stuff

There is nothing better on a Sunday afternoon then a stocked fridge and NFL football. Oh the joys of early fall.

Things I Hate About Co-workers Part I

September 18th, 2004  |  by Tommy  |  published in Stuff

There has to be one of these people in every company no matter the size. They are the people that seem to take joy in criticizing other individual’s creative work, yet never produce anything original themselves. Don’t get me wrong, constructive (emphasis) feedback is not only required, it is desired. But I swear these people […]

Martin Sheen Isn’t the President

November 26th, 2003  |  by Tommy  |  published in Culture, Stuff

I truly love watching The West Wing. Politics aside, the show is stunning. The dialogue is crisp and intelligent. The casting is superb.  The story lines compelling.

But at times I wonder if Martin Sheen really thinks he is the President of the United States. Case in point is a recent TV spot with Sheen […]

Tommy Has Left the Building

July 1st, 2003  |  by Tommy  |  published in Stuff

I have read that all personal blogs go through a cycle, and in many instances stop publishing for one reason or another. I thought I would be different, but that is not the case. I had hoped to provide much more "review and comment" then just links. And that was the case the first several […]

Dude Your Getting a Cell

February 12th, 2003  |  by Tommy  |  published in Stuff

Benjamin Curtis, the actor who gained fame and a cult following as the slacker "Steven" in commercials for Dell computers was arrested buying a small bag of marijuana on the Lower East Side. Curtis’ key phrase "Dude, yer gettin’ a Dell!" drove up computer sales and spawned T-shirts, caps, and backpacks, along with Web sites […]

Propaganda Appears to Work

February 7th, 2003  |  by Tommy  |  published in Stuff

What happens if the President of the United States, the Republican party, and to some extend the Democratic party slam one individual, no matter how evil, 24/7?  You get results like these reported in Salon:
"At the end of the first week of January, the Princeton Survey Research Associates polled more than 1,200 Americans on […]

Backdrop Brainwashing

January 23rd, 2003  |  by Tommy  |  published in Stuff

Since George W. Bush took office the backdrops at his press conferences have perplexed me. They seem to be something right out of 1984, Animal Farm, or Brave New World.
Words such as honesty, accountability, and integrity accompany a speech on SEC regulations.
Freedom, democracy, equal rights during a press conference concerning Iraq.
Yesterday in St. Louis (my […]

Moving Mailboxes

January 17th, 2003  |  by Tommy  |  published in Stuff

I just spotted a UPS truck with a letter slot on the side. Turning a fleet of trucks into thousands of mobile drop-off spots seems pretty smart.  In theory. 
In reality, I have to wonder how many people will ever use them considering no one knows where the truck is going to be at any […]

Lott’s Lesson

December 17th, 2002  |  by Tommy  |  published in Stuff

This blog is not about politics, but Trent Lott taught us an important media planning lesson with his lack of tact and political savvy.
To build and maintain a strong brand you must communicate with all your target audiences all the time. Not just when you need something.  Running to BET, Telemundo or Univision at […]

It Begins … Post #1

November 1st, 2002  |  by Tommy  |  published in Stuff

For the past several months I have wasted many a hour shifting through blogs. So instead of reading other people’s idle musings on various topics, I have decided to throw my hat into the already crowded ring and write my own.
