What strikes me most about his paintings and photographs is that is that it has the ability to stir an emotion in me. It's like I am getting a glimpse into someone's life through a cracked window. To me, the quick brush strokes signify the imperfections in all of… Continue

(And you may remember my mantra - "If the product is good it's a damn shame if people don't know about it.") I've reached out to a lot of new… Continue

New Microsoft Ads: I'm a PC



Better than the Bill/Jerry commercials but really...how many of these "it's all about you" ad campaigns can there really be? We've already seen it with Gap and American Express (though they concentrate more on famous people)...
