    Secretariat

    ByWayne Willis February 22, 2012March 10, 2018

    I watched the movie, Secretariat, last night. It was OK. Only OK. Watching the actual horse Secretariat, when he was running in 1973, was much better. This ESPN show from a decade ago really captures the story (in 5 short segments on YouTube). Interviews with all the players — owner, trainer, jockey, others — and…

    Super Bowl Ads 2012

    ByWayne Willis February 6, 2012January 25, 2018

    I looked thru the Super Bowl ads this year and have the following observations: * car companies simply MUST advertise, even at > $3m / :30 seconds.  I thought the car commercials were the best * e-trade didn’t disappoint; their latest baby advisor was precious * movie trailers are another high ROI category.  There were…

    This is an awesome song from Coldplay’s new Album, Mylo Xyloto It’s Us Against The World Oh morning come bursting, the clouds, Amen. Lift off this blindfold, let me see again And bring back the water, let your ships roll in. In my heart she left a hole The tightrope that I’m walking just sways…

    Moving To The Cloud, Bird by Bird

    ByWayne Willis August 20, 2011March 10, 2018

    On my “To Do” list is a rather daunting goal: “Move Into The Cloud by EOY 2012.”  What I mean by that is to “dematerialize” my life as much as possible: to get rid of tangible personal property (of the sort stored in the garage!); to move family albums and other memorabilia online; to detach…
