Darren Barefoot is attempting to give up his dependency on Caffeine. I commend his efforts.
I just discovered that the screaming headache I have had all day is due to a lack of caffeine. Two cups of Instant Coffee == No Headache.
Helluva cure, but that’s life.

American Express engages in LCD marketing*
Joi Ito pointed me to the post about Ogilvy & Mather doing “bullshit marketing” for American Express.
American Express is a company I have a lot of respect for. But when they start treating their techno-savvy customers as complete doufi (plural of doufus), then they slide down into the morass of spam-spewing card purveyors that flood my snail-mailbox daily.
And Joi Ito gets asked to pimp stuff in his blog. I never get asked to pimp anything. 🙁
This is still circulating around the next. See more here.

Online ads — What’s the big deal?
Ok, so I have both Kanoodle and Google Ads on my site. Total Revenue this far: $0.
I am not completely sure what the hoopla is. Then again, I get less than 200 hits a day. Guess that could be an issue…
Russell Beattie is back to Google. What’s your opinion? -

Anyone know of a good Windows SmartPhone?
Palm continues to implode. Apparently the amazing broken Treo 650 (You know, the one with the new advanced filesystem that doesn’t allow users to transfer all of their information?), has just gone up in price by $100. [here]
Oh well, it was a cool company once… -

Hallejujah! Someone else gets this.
Maybe we should all throw our money into the Free Stanley Movement.
