How To Get an Angry Email From Me

October 30, 2007

So you know how I keep railing on Public Relations people? Yeah… That. I’ve decided to use one such PR Representative, a Mr. Cory O’Brien, as an object lesson. Though he doesn’t deserve it, I will leave his phone number and email address out.

Sweet Caroline

October 22, 2007

Yes, ladies and gentlemen. I AM in the mood this week for Red Sox baseball. And my posts likely will get polluted with Red Sox “stuff” this week. Forgive me. If you think this is bad, read my Twitter feed during gametime. ;-)

Enjoy.

Many industry experts credited unrest in Northern Iraq, surging Oil prices and uncertainty surrounding the 20th anniversary of the Black Monday October 1987 crash where the market lost over 22% of its value in a single day.
