Check out this site.  Talk about looking at a market, figuring out what the demographic is and NAILING it.  This is one of the coolest uses of the web as a simple marketing tool I’ve seen recently.  Just a very attractive site that really shows what the brand is without a whole lot of copy trying to TELL you what the brand is.  Very, very well done.  (A side note, it’s also fairly important that they show rather than tell because the copy is pretty rough, i.e. good English translator might help out…  that was the one bummer.)  

I’m not sure who originally said this, but I think it pretty much sums it up for me.”my mom said college for me was like performance art, it was really painful to watch and a huge waste of money” Not sure that my mom would put it that way, but it certainly did crack me up a bit.   In other news, it looks like Sweetwood Groove may start playing again, sans a bass player rather than sans a lead singer.  I’m pretty psyched about it since I didn’t really have any hard feelings towards the the drummer or the bass player (and really, i’m a grown-up, I don’t hold grudges anyway)…  So that’s definitely some good news.

Here’s the link Although I really do enjoy listening to and playing improvisation, what I’ve always been told, “it’s just musical masturbation” may actually be true.  Although it may just be like a converstation.  You ask me about me and I just talk a little longer than I should…

Check out Bob Troia’s new band and video. Great frickin’ song… I love me some catchy. (for those of you that don’t know bob and I were in maximum bob together) He’s the bass player shakin’ his shimmy in the video.

So Stacie and I went to the gym and had an hour with a personal trainer this afternoon.  We’ve been going consistently every morning and doing 2 or 3 miles on the treadmill and then lifting so I thought we’d just be stepping it up a bit.  Mistaken, is the term that comes to mind.  Holy crapski.  I can barely walk up stairs. I walked up to my office and I’m a little worried to actually go back down the stairs.  The guy’s really good and he definitely made it fun, but there was one point on the stationary bike where I was pretty sure that my breakfast was going to make an appearance.  The funny thing is the trainer (Jay) used to be a programmer for a company that has a content management system fairly similar to ours, got sick of it and now he’s a personal trainer (at least he’s not an athletic supporter… buh dum tsshhh!) anyway, i can’t think so good right now ’cause of all the blood being out of my melon so…

Man, there are times when I miss new england immensely.  Just have a look at this story.  These towns are right around Putney and I used to go to the Brat a bunch when I was up there. Whether you agree with the politics or not, you’ve got to just appreciate the free spirit (ie: balls) that a lot of them thar Vermonters have.
