The whole experience is to cram people into a cookie-cutter space, to feed them as many unhealthy calories as possible — then get them to leave,” said Mr. Meyer, the president of the Union Square Hospitality Group and the Yoda of Shake Shack. “That stripping away of human experience? That is where fast food went astray.

The poster, placed in a bus shelter in Berlin, was a one-time installation sponsored by Amnesty International. When a person in the shelter was looking at the poster, he saw, along with the words, a photograph of an amiable couple: a stocky, professional-looking man in a blue oxford-cloth shirt, his arm around the shoulders of his girlfriend or wife. If no one in the shelter was paying attention to the poster, though, the image switched: now the man was raising his fist against the woman as she leaned away and protected her face. (There was a slight lag in the switch, so viewers could notice that the poster was changing its image.)

I should probably care more about the bottled vs. tap debate than I currently do.  I suppose bottled water is environmentally irresponsible, yet there’s something more reassuring about drinking water from a sealed bottle.  A package like this one could be the best of both worlds.  Sometimes Mother Nature just needs a little help (see also: Disney-branded fruits and vegetables).

While Chrome for Mac isn’t perfect, I’ve found it to be enough of an improvement to make it my default browser.  These clever shorts only make me more fond of the product (and the brand as a whole) through their quirky, homespun communication of the new browser’s features.  Certainly more effective than anything coming out of Microsoft these days.

It’s a process, not an event. Dating is a process. So is losing weight, being a public company and building a brand. On the other hand, putting up a trade show booth is an event. So are going public and having surgery. Events are easier to manage, pay for and get excited about. Processes build results for the long haul.

link Vinyl Record Albums and Turntables Are Gaining Sales - NYTimes.com

Through late November, more than 2.1 million vinyl records had been sold in 2009, an increase of more than 35 percent in a year, according to Nielsen Soundscan. That total, though it represents less than 1 percent of all album sales, including CDs and digital downloads, is the highest for vinyl records in any year since Nielsen began tracking them in 1991.

Dennis the Beeper King from 30 Rock was right.  Technology is cyclical.
