May 13, 2015

Targeted marketing is a process of identifying potential customers and promoting products and services via mediums that are most likely to reach those customers. Targeting is a marketing buzzword. I dislike buzzwords, heck I even dislike the word “buzzword.”When I did a search for images of “targeted marketing,” all the images showed a dart pointed […]

One space or two?

April 22, 2015

I don’t know if you’ve been keeping up to date on the latest controversy. No, it’s not about the Boston Marathon Bombings or Obamacare or Hillary Clinton, it’s about whether or not you should have one space or two spaces after the end of sentence. Okay, so maybe I spend a little too much time […]

Perform acts of kindness […]

Doors closing and opening

December 17, 2014

Believe it or not, I didn’t spend much time with my new smartphone this week, so I don’t have any tales to tell. I wanted to post some pictures I had taken with the phone, but I got intimidated by the confusing directions, so the pictures will have to wait. I have been busy finishing […]
