Iconic musician and noted weirdo Prince has officially either become the smartest man on the planet, or is continuing his lifelong assault on common sense. (Remember, this is the dude that changed his name to a symbol.) He said the following to The Mirror: The internet’s completely over. I don’t see why I should give [...]
This morning, I let the cat out of the bag by telling a few fine folks (@amylizmartin and @shonali) about my lifelong dream of singing an acoustic version of “Baby Got Back” on American Idol. @HeldInContempt did a MAJOR solid by sharing this version from the great Jonathan Coulton…so now I share it with you: [...]
The integrated marketing industry (PR, marketing, advertising, social media and the rest) comes with a high price tag of stress.
