Frankenmetrics: Alive And Well, Necessary.
A highly auspiced and exceptionally well compensated competitor of mine who was the first of us “research gurus” to earn the title of president used to troll those of us who weren’t quite blessed with a strong portfolio of networks by mocking our attempts to show we were much more competitive with his by referencing
It’s Time For The Emmy Torch To Be Passed, Like It Or Not.
I’ve long had a love-hate relationship with the Emmy Awards. As someone who intersected and answered into both the business and creative sectors of television studios and networks I’ve been part of both liberally funded campaigns to cajole nominations out of industry peer groups and internal case studies that would inevitably come to the conclusion
Thought It Was The Will Of The PEOPLE?
Nothing like a good scandal to jazz up an otherwise lackluster election cycle, right? Especially in the Democratic party. They do seem to be expert at finding ways to find candidates with, to be kind, issues. You think it all began and ended with dementia-addled octogenarians whose debating skills seemingly disappeared overnight? Nah, there have
Fattening The Mutton For Slaughter?
It’s been nearly four decades since I was fortunate enough to have visited my ancestral homeland of England yet I still regret falling for the tourist trap recommendations of local cuisine which the Fodor’s guides recommended I try. The fish and chips I sampled at a pub adjacent to Piccadilly Circus was no better in
Come Together. Right Now. Cuz One And One And One Is Three
Whenever anyone gets a glimpse at my phone the first reaction tends to be “Holy crap, how many freaking apps do you have??!”. Truth be told, for as much as I have learned how not to hoard physical possessions any more I still tend to hoard digital ones I’ve amassed over time. I could arguably
Time For These Minions To Pray A Little Harder?

Just For Today, How About Adding A Little Red And White To Your Blue?
Happy semiquincentennial birthday, America, and to those who celebrate. That’s not exactly a word that flies off my fingers with ease, so with your permission I’m gonna make any references to it as SQC. Not that I intend to do so at many points beyond today’s musing anyhoo. But I will admit that I’m more
Everything Has Its Time. If Not Its Place.
This was supposed to be yet another slow day lament about something that was once was that didn’t quite last. In this particular case, today is the anniversary of my first wedding, one I don’t often reference since it was far shorter and ultimately less lethal than my second was–or at least could have been.
Legally Bland?
I may be older–er, seasoned–but I’m not dead. And I also have a few guilty pleasures that might surprise you. One just happens to LEGALLY BLONDE, a now 25-year-old movie that was a hit with pretty much every other demographic quadrant other than the one I actually fell into. It was a great date movie
