Targeted marketing – good or bad?

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 […]

Reflections on the workplace today

April 29, 2015

I attended one of my fun marketing seminars the other day. It was held in an office near the North End of Boston. It’s a cool place. As I was sitting in the conference room, I watched as the employees came into work. This is what I saw: Well maybe the employees weren’t quite this […]

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 […]

Smartphone found!

April 15, 2015

Alas, the mystery has been solved! I should have known better. Mr. Ken went to his very favorite store and had his very favorite food – a donut! He captured the moment with the missing smartphone. He claims he tried to make a video of the moment, but I think he was so focused on […]

Where’s Waldo?

April 8, 2015

Or rather, where is my smartphone? It is usually lying on my desk, right in front of me, next to the little stylus thingie. The phone is normally staring at me, daring me to pick it up and start using it. Well, not today. It’s gone! This is what greeted me today. I went into […]

Scary marketing

March 25, 2015

I was going to do a blog post about, “Where’s Waldo?” but that will have to wait. I have to get something off my chest. Here’s an email that I just got: **************************************** Hi Nancy, I hope all is well! My name is Yutaka Yamamoto and I’m with Oracle’s Business Intelligence and Analytics team, as […]

Change your schedule and change your life

March 18, 2015

They say, whoever “they” are, that changing your environment can do wonders for your psyche and creativity. While I wish I could be sitting on a nice sunny beach with Mr. Ken, this is not possible right now. I have been staying over my mother’s house, helping her out since she fell. It was kind […]

Mystery solved for What is it

March 4, 2015

I know you all have been sitting at the edge of your seats, wanting to know the answer to last week’s post, What is it? One answer could be these cute little boxes make perfect resting spots for Peeps. M&Ms also fit perfectly into them as well. Alas, these containers are part of Beachbody’s 21 […]

Or rather, a rant about 10 minutes. If you’ve read my blog posts, you know that I am obsessed, er interested, in fitness. I love to keep up with the latest trends. Well the latest fitness trend is for short workouts. Short, as in 10 minutes. I’m all for 10 minute breaks throughout the day. […]
