I ran across two songs on 99X (97.9 fm) in Atlanta that caught my attention. They’re both a little “different” and that’s probably why they caught my attention, but they’re also pretty good. “The Cave” by Mumford & Sons and “Welcome to the Black Parade” by My Chemical Romance have gotten a good bit of … Continue reading

The Coca-Cola Happiness Campaign
While my three and a half years at Clemson were unbelievable, driving into downtown Atlanta for a real nine-to-five is pretty cool too. My internship is at Definition 6, and one of our marquee productions is the “Coca-Cola Happiness Machine.” It came out well before I got here, but it was an online video that … Continue reading
Musical Side Notes on an Illegitimate Holiday
Today is Presidents’ Day and Definition 6 where I’m interning this semester gave everyone the day off. What a ridiculous federal Holiday, but it does give me the opportunity to share some great music that even Tommy can enjoy. First off all, I checked out Tommy’s band of the week, Ra, and was impressed. I … Continue reading
A Blog That Everyone Yankee Fan Should Be Reading
I started following @LennysYankees on Twitter and eventually started reading his blog. Now it’s one of only two blogs I follow regularly (The other being Defining INSIGHTS). LenNY’s Yankees is written by Lenny Neslin, a Journalism student at Quinnipiac University in New York, and more importantly an avid Yankees fan. A while back he allowed … Continue reading
Revis Island – Population One…a Gordon is Grumbling Follow-up
A couple months ago one of our guest bloggers–Mark Gordon–wrote an article about Darrelle Revis’s selfishness during his contract dispute with the Jets. I strongly agreed with his assessment that a contract is a pact, an agreement, and a statement of honor that the player is obligated to fulfill. What prompted me to write this … Continue reading

When Marketers Get Bored
Remember, I’m a marketing major at Clemson, so this isn’t totally random. Lately we’ve seen a plethora of logo redesigns from major national brands. Tropicana, GAP, PUR, Starbucks, Seattle’s Best, Caribou Coffee, Holiday Inn, and the YMCA have all created new logos recently. Unfortunately, Tropicana and GAP’s new logos were so poorly received that the … Continue reading
“The Year of the Tablet” (and other worthless innovations)
2011 is the “Year of the Tablet” (i.e., iPad and competitors), but I don’t get it. Why would I want a device that is indecisively between a smart phone and a laptop? Is there anything a tablet can do that a laptop can’t? Why would I want a laptop without a keyboard? Speaking of worthless … Continue reading
Just Let Me Stop Caring
Clemson hasn’t won a championship since I was two years old. I finished my last semester of class at Clemson and got an awesome internship at Definition 6, a unified marketing agency in Atlanta. So after Clemson’s 6-7 season and after watching them lose to South Carolina and South Florida to close the season, how … Continue reading
Annoyed at the World
Tommy has been in his corner playing his guitar, getting a 700 on the GMAT, and not writing anything for the blog so I figured I’d write a little blurb before I head off to Charlotte for the Meineke Car “Who Cares?” Bowl. First of all, wasn’t 32 bowl games enough? We have 35 bowl … Continue reading
