I’m fortunate to have been associated with artists all throughout my life. From watching my children and their artistic endeavors, to seeing them take art and creative talents into their adult lives. There are some extraordinary talents in high schools these days! Take a peek.
The Death of Advertising
I’m chasing a story and getting lots of references for my research. Washington Post, blocked unless I subscribe. Wall Street Journal blocked unless I subscribe. We’ve come to the point now that web advertising is not working. I ran my web site for 30 years “ad free”. Why spam your customers? Are we witnessing the death of online advertising?
Brilliant fund raising ploy? Maybe, maybe not
I’ve written a lot about fund raising and marketing for a cause. Just search the Design Center for “Marketing Update” . . . but this beats them all!
Since the impeachment craziness, then the pandemic, and all coupled with the prospect of an election in November, can the world get any crazier? Well, I didn’t think so until I heard somebody is paying one-hundred-grand for an online chat with Hillary!
Perspective is everything…count your blessings.
Times these days, we need a wake-up call. This piece from an unknown author begged to be posted here.
Imagine you were born in 1900
When you are 14, World War I starts, and ends on your 18th birthday with 22 million people killed. Later in the year, a Spanish Flu epidemic hits the planet and runs until you are 20. Fifty million people die from it in those two years. Yes, 50 million.
Advertising Is Killing The Open Web. It Doesn’t Have To
I’ve preached against bogus web advertising for nearly 30 years. It’s half the web’s problem, and most of the bandwidth problem. If publishers would have held true to some of the original basic advertising modes, the industry wouldn’t be where it is today. Programmatic advertising could change everything. But lazy ad buyers are failing to embrace that change.
What makes ethernet better than WiFi?
Obviously, WiFi is great. It’s changed our lives, allowing for an unprecedented degree of flexibility with internet-enabled devices. Home WiFi is even good enough in large portions of the United States that people justifiably feel comfortable using it for everything, such as work, gaming, and streaming.

Web & Graphic Design student work review
The College of New Caledonia is showcasing their graphic design and web design students in a handsome website — go see what kind of talent they’re growing in Caldonia!
These students put together a “Portfolio Showcase” writing. . .
Our journey to create this showcase began in early January. During this time of planning and strategizing how to bring about a great year-end event, we became closer as a class and got to know one another better. Through the brainstorming process we were able to learn from and be inspired by one another.
