I’m fascinated by the creative process. Mostly because I like getting new ideas and to validate my bizarre choices. In this clip, Seinfeld gives us a glimpse into creating a joke – one that has taken two years to write. His peculiarities: He always writes on yellow legal pads. He always uses a blue Bic [...]

I miss the old payphones…
I guess New York does, too. New York City’s contract has ended with the once esteemed superhero changing room (payphone company) and now they’re looking for new-fangled replacements. For me, having these public boxes were more than just a call box, it was a public safety tool. How many of us have had our batteries [...]

A goal
Recently had a bunch of dental work done: seven fillings! I hate going to the dentist with a burning passion. For someone who works so intimately with YOUR MOUTH, they sure are cold and impersonal.Anyway, they took CareCredit which lets me pay it …
A little advice on how to use a podium
I was privileged enough to attend an OgilvyConnect training for nonprofits on storytelling and public speaking last week. One thing I really liked was the advice our trainer, Bess Bezirgan, gave on standing behind a podium if you’re short.
