First up, as I’ve publicly posted this and have helped out myself, my friend and colleague Hasan Abu Afash is in Palestine, and I don’t need to tell you what he and his people are facing. If you can help out, here’s a link to his Paypal. Apparently, August 11, 2023 marked my 20 […]

Spam commenters are losing their minds
Despite the smaller visitor numbers, this blog seems to leave way more spam in the Akismet queue than the other Wordpress installations we have. I had wanted to write a post swearing at some of the dumb comments that come in, as all of these are automated, but three of the first ten today are […]
The ex-Vox testimony
A phpBB forum for former users of Vox (I am one) started in September 2010. I posted there today, going through my history with the service. The below is a repost, which I thought would be of interest to readers of this blog (some of whom have come from Vox). It’s a small summary of […]
A new blogroll (Chrome should be happy)
After Andrew relayed to me that Google Analytics code was being downloaded with Blogrolling, that—and not the fact that Chrome users were blocked from seeing this blog due to a false malware warning (sorry)—motivated me to shift my blogroll on to Wordpress. He was right: it was ironic that I could have it in […]
If you are on Chrome, it won’t let you see this
Ever since I began blogging a bit more regularly here (upping it to my usual frequency?) Twitter friends have been telling me that they cannot read these entries because there is a malware warning. What they have in common: they are all using Chrome. I wanted to try Chrome out again (I had […]

Vista was just a duo today
Due to others’ appointments, the Vista Group meeting today was a mere duo: myself and Jim Donovan, Esq., who will give up blogging in 10 days. It meant it was the second-least well attended meeting in our history. Jim has never let us forget the least well attended one. I have always said that […]
Beyond Branding Blog removed from Blogger today
As of tonight, the Beyond Branding Blog, where I first cut my teeth blogging, is no more. The posts are still there, but no further comments can be entered on to the site. The nearly four years of posts remain as an archive of some of our branding thought of that period. The […]

Blogger to end FTP publishing; shift to Wordpress well timed
Blogger has announced that it will cease supporting its FTP publishing service, which means the shifting of this blog to Wordpress was well timed. It seems I would have had to shift in any case—the fact that this happened just over a month ago was fortunate. I received an email about this for the […]

And it’s back again
When the Social Media Consortium disappeared again, we panicked and alerted Rick Klau at Google. Once again, Rick was as good as his word and found out there had been an accidental deletion. What impresses me about him—as if I wasn’t already impressed—is his quick action. He must have other matters to deal with, […]
This blog is ranked 38th for … cars!
I was pretty stoked to find that this blog ranked so highly in Technorati on the subject of cars, considering it’s not a core focus, even if it is a passion of mine. I was visiting the site in order to update the Medinge press room URL, which shifted late last year when we […]
