One Question
Just One Question Interview time, just one question. Imagine it’s an interview, but you only get to ask one question. What’s the question? Just One Question The idea is, as a correspondent, I’m allowed just one question. “I know my rights, I’m allowed one phone call!” Yeah, not what this about. In an interview or [...]

Brand, branding, and fan dedication
Brand, branding, and fan dedication: It must be a marketer’s dream, to see this. A tattoo of a logo. One of fredlet’s old Austin buddies, he had the best “geek” tat of all. He had a bar code for spam. Right there, on his arm. That’s brand, branding, and fan dedication, all in one. Thinking [...]

ASTRO motel
The ASTRO motel (in Waco, I believe). ASTRO motel Instate 35 — I-35, or just “Thirty-Five” — runs like a giant juggernaut from Laredo to Chicago. Salient points for me, the division 35 created in old Austin. East Austin is hip, trendy and cool (again), but at one time, it was a more barrio — [...]
