Cynthia McKay admits she learned public relations the hard way. The first PR professional she hired burned through $3,000 in two weeks with no results. When Ms. McKay struck out on her own, she wound up on a national television newsmagazine in a segment on rudeness in America — as an example of how not to behave.

Are Your Clients Happy Now, Mr. Brabender?
Hi, there. Hope you are well. We thought you’d like some information for an interesting feature. It’s about a Kansas public-relations professional who has carved a unique niche for himself by sending the nation’s media outlets thousands of copies of news releases for “practical yet peculiar” consumer products.

Lights! Camera! Sales!
Online video has become a daily fix for millions of people. Now entrepreneurs are starting to cash in on that obsession.

Upon The Throne

There’s a throne just sitting there in a corner of Shoeshine Charley’s Big Top Lounge. I decided that it would be a good opportunity to shoot some pics of Bill Shirley and Jennifer The Intern.

Quackety Quack!

I was going through some old pictures I took with my first digital camera and came across this one I took back in 2004 of some baby ducks hanging out in my pool….

It still makes me smile. Hopefully it makes you smile too!
Have a safe and happy holiday!

Four more days till Christmas…

O Holy Night - Author Revealed?

Bill Shirley may have found a site that reveals the creator of the version of “O Holy Night” I mentioned earlier.
If this is true it confirms the theory posited by Jim Henkel several years ago that it had to have been done by someone who actually understands music and music theory.

Math Joke

via the Geekspeak Blog….
A math limerick….
(12 + 144 + 20 + 3 x sqrt(4)) ÷ 7 + 5 x 11 = 9² + 0
