Sirius- XM Radio, Obnoxious …Or Frightened?

Some times the way a company deals with its customers says more than intended about the state of their business.  I’ve been thinking about getting rid of my XM Radio subscription for years now but I have a number of family and friends as the additional units on my account for the discount rate...

March 21, 2009
By Desmond Crisis

Lately, I’ve been thinking that now would be a good time to get back on the air with my talk show again. Right now we’re being faced with a lot of decisions about the way we survive in an information-based economy. People will be thinking more carefully about where they put their money and what...

Decline To State

March 21, 2009
By Desmond Crisis

In the last few months I’ve been getting some “nibbles” from different radio stations.  One of them I would even call a “bite”.  The problem that seems to always pop up is that I have never liked defining myself.  Back in the day it was easy.  I was the “B.S. Detector” at a totally...

Retail As Entertainment?

November 30, 2008
By Desmond Crisis

I’m willing to guess that most of us use http://www.woot.com just because it’s fun. We don’t really NEED any of this carp otherwise we’d go out and buy it. It’s just a little thrill that we feel like we’re onto something special and it pumps the blood a little. That’s why I tried a little...

November 21, 2008
By Desmond Crisis
