Link to Destiny (BTW, the tacky website makes me want to vomit– tries too hard to appeal to emotions and nostalgia). If it succeeds, it’s going to be the largest mecca of consumerism in the land that invented it. Thanks to Barnard’s Retail Consulting Group, citizens in Syracuse, NY might soon have the largest megamall [...]
It’s been a while, hasn’t it? One of my New Year’s affirmations and promises to myself are to be more diligent in spending time updating my blog. I dont know how many of you have offline blogging tools, but I’ll tell you the only thing they accomplish is to help one procrastinate in updating a [...]
One thing that I often think is that to “convert” people to be envionmentalists is to appeal to other emotions and characteristics they might have. Namely, laziness. Many of my friends are lazy and are unlikely to do anything worthwhile for the environment unless they get anything in return. I like finding things that grease [...]
I know I know– Its been a while. Well I am back, and to provide you with some additional sensory pleasure to keep you content, here is my link to flickr: YakShaving’s photos. Enjoy! I’ll be back shortly to post some updated stuff that’s been sitting in my offline blog notepad forever.
RMNP6 Originally uploaded by quami77. Well, I’ve found my new favorite thing to do–Hiking. I had the chance to go to Colorado a few times this year for work. I really enjoyed the trips and decided to come back to try climbing Long’s peak, the tallest 14er in Rocky Mountain National Park. Although Nabeel (my [...]
Well, the tables are finally starting to turn it seems. All those people who used to get obnoxiously large gas guzzling SUVs are downgrading– TreeHugger recently posted that Corollas and Civics are flying off the lots at dizzying rates compared to SUVs, whereas the new SUVs are going untouched though manufacturers and dealers are throwing [...]
There’s no time like the present for environmental consumption and its only going to get better. My prediction: the market for environmentally sound products and services is going to abound in the next 10-15 years. Sure, its a little ugly, but give it a break, okay?
As I was on Amazon looking for a review for the next-great-business-book-that-is-supposed-to-single-handedly-solve-all-problems-in-the-universe, I ran across this little logo, , and I was wondering what the heck it meant. Amazon uses an interesting concept radical to the virtual world. As consumers in the past have been skeptical and even mistrusting when it comes to divulging their [...]
Happy Earth Day 2005. Yes, I know, I’m a day late, but it doesnt matter, because technically, Every day is earth day, as the saying goes. Well, I did my part. I volunteered at EarthFest 2005 in Shawnee Mission Park. Unfortunately I got stuck as the parking attendant so I didnt get to interact with [...]
When I was looking up relevant titles for this blog, I had a significantly hard time. I finally decided upon yak shaving. I got it from Seth Godin’s blog, who got it from Joi Ito’s blog. Why is “yak shaving” applicable to this blog? Well, its not really. But I frequently run into the situation [...]
Lately I’ve been falling into the “too much work to have time to post” trap, which is exactly I was scared about when I started this thing. Incidentally, this is the same reason that Bill Gates didn’t start a blog. I’m going to make a conscientious effort moving forward to be a more frequent poster, [...]
