CBC: It’s a “bungle”! No it’s a “blunder”! Hang on: it’s a “gaffe”!

Fri, 18 Apr 2008 13:28:14 PDT

Rotten Timing of Bands and Heart Attacks

Sat, 19 Apr 2008 12:12:04 PDT
Diary time again. Wednesday afternoon, I ended up doing something I had never done before, and the only reason was because the Pope was visiting America. Normally, I would be indifferent to such a thing, and it was exactly my complete indifference that drove me to this point. You see, when I eat lunch in my house, I eat in my living room, usually around 12.30 or 1.00, while I watch television, often the news. It's usually the only television I watch in the course of a day, unless it's Thursday,

Steve Rubel on Managing Information Overload

Thu, 24 Apr 2008 16:43:24 PDT

Although I’m an evangelist for using new media and various social mechanisms to stay connected I know people are having some trouble coping. Here’s a video interview with Steve Rubel on just this topic. Last week I appeared on the Brian Lehrer show talking about my role with Edelman Digital and how I track trends

United States Economy: Survival of the Unfittest

Thu, 24 Apr 2008 17:00:18 PDT

Bush labored to make the case that the economy is “strong,” using the word eight times in one speech in Peoria, Ill. In terms of the basic indicators of economic growth (now 3.5% annually) and unemployment at 4.6%, he’s right. But when you consider that 2% of the current U.S. economic activity is the product

Reality for Rising Food Prices....

Thu, 24 Apr 2008 17:21:11 PDT
Hundreds of millions of people have moved from poverty into the global economy over the past decade in Asia. Theyre eating twice a day, instead of once, and propelling rapid urbanization.
