Fun Stuff

Imagine this...

One day you are driving home and you pass a car dealership of a little known brand. You pull in. The cars are beautiful and share all of the same features, but each has it’s own distinct styling. You take a look around and decide to speak to a salesperson.

Buyer - “Excuse me, how much does this model cost?”

Salesman - “Twenty dollars per month.”

Buyer - “No, I mean what is the TOTAL. Not the monthly payment.”

Salesman - “Twenty dollars per month.”

Have you ever had the perfect name for your company or product but you couldn't use it because it was already taken? Gene Simmons was in a similar situation when he was originally putting his band together - tons of other groups were performing under the name "Kiss". Luckily, Gene had the foresight to trademark "Kiss" and "KISS" for use in audio recordings, which prevented any other band from releasing music under the same name.

Having just returned last week from a trip to the annual North American DrupalCon in Denver, I wanted to reflect a bit on the importance of the events of the week. First of all, I'm grateful to MCN for sending Joe Stewart and me to the conference for yet another opportunity to further our education and network amongst our peers. This was my second DrupalCon and Joe's third, and it seems to get better every year.

If you are a fan of Southern Gospel or contemporary Christian music, then I am sure you are acquainted with Bill & Gloria Gaither. The Gaither Music Company has revolutionized the gospel industry with their original songs, merchandise and Gaither Homecoming concerts and events. The new Gaither.com launched in 2011, and I am happy to say I took over its account management duties in January of this year.
