  1. Another look at Black Friday/Cyber Monday news, and a personal connection to trends. http://www.kuraoka.com/adbl...
  2. I'm tired of articles that pit retailers against consumers -http://www.kuraoka.com/adbl... - shopping is collaborative.
  3. Of buskers and virals, on the Ad Blog - http://www.kuraoka.com/adbl...
  4. A two-fer in the Ad Blog - http://www.kuraoka.com/adbl... - Super Bowl ad sales & JC Penney kills the Big Book.
  5. Mistake or Publicity Stunt: http://www.kuraoka.com/adbl... - NZ billboard co attracts the attention of Paris Hilton (or her lawyers).
  6. is playing with a new toy, a cheapo FM transmitter for my iPod Touch. Pandora and satellite radio just became less relevant.
  7. Of retailers, branding, and discounting - http://www.kuraoka.com/adblog/ - The same mix won't work across the board.
  8. http://twitpic.com/not57 - @patrick_maness - Oh, I don't know. I think *you'd* rock it, today of all days!
  9. @patrick_maness Hey, Patrick, there are easier ways to get an eye patch. You can just buy one at the drugstore and stick it on. Really!
  10. A thought for Halloween: would you consider handing out non-branded candy?
  11. A near-miss for Cadillac - a *tactic* that should've gone *strategic.* http://www.kuraoka.com/adblog/
  12. Concurrently reading two different translations of Anna Karenin/a - one in print and one on the iPod Touch. Subtle differences, very cool.
  13. @Sparty1216 Offline city road maps are available in the App Store. I have San Diego and L.A. They're just detailed enough to be handy.
  14. 3 top apps on my iPod Touch are a dictionary, an offline map, and eReader (w/a growing library of lit). A latter-day luddite, I am.
  15. A weekend Ad Blog entry to crow that I was dead right all along about those "educational" baby videos - http://www.kuraoka.com/adblog/
  16. The new tax proposal in CA looks bad for the ad industry, among others. http://www.kuraoka.com/adbl...
  17. Dead printer. In the race to see who can get me a working printer first, HP (via tech support) or Staples (via a new Lexmark), it's a tie!
  18. In honor of Talk Like A Pirate Day: Long John Silver on writing ads - http://www.kuraoka.com/arrr...
  19. I have been on the phone for the past seven hours straight. So ... good morning! My day is just starting.
  20. The thunder is rocking! And my UPSs are beeping and clicking every few minutes as the spikes and surges hit. They're workin' today.
