Advertise, Advertise, Advertise

Its the axis of the teeter totter, its the balancing pole of the tight-rope walker… It’s the one thing that can either make or break your business..

Advertising…

I thought I’d put my thoughts on the proverbial ‘paper’ and try and find that ‘X’ factor that either makes or breaks a business. It clearly isn’t as easy as whacking out a few hundred flyers and putting an add on your local radio station. And a big budget that allows you TV …

The all-new Yellow Llama

In a bubble of ignorance

In the wake of Marks post, I thought I’d post this link to James Nachtwey’s photographic work.

“I have been a witness, and these pictures are my testimony. The events I have recorded should not be forgotten and must not be repeated.”

Sad to say, there is no end. In the words of U.N.K.L.E. from their song Eye for an Eye:

Michael Franti

As we sit in front of our computers, earphones jamming tunes to keep our subconcious busy whilst we figure out CSS hacks and PHP includes, most of us remain oblivious to the conflicts that many are going through. The majority of us are unaware of the hassles that people have to endure everyday.
