If You Can’t Beat ‘em, Piss ‘em off

I recently wrote about NBC’s crappy online viewing experience since pulling their content off of iTunes. Apparently they aren’t just out to ruin the online experience but the live television viewing experience as well.
Adrant reports on in show banners that ran in the bottom 1/4 of the screen during parts of last nights episode […]

Disrupt Your Business Model

Want to try a fun exercise? Want to stay ahead of potential competition?
On the plane ride home last week I began wondering how many businesses could be replaced with an ad supported model. Obviously there are all the online businesses, that’s easy. Try and imagine your business or some aspect (usually one of the most […]

I Hate NBC!

Between work, family and my MBA program I have one guilty pleasure. The Office .  The TV show The Office is by far my favorite TV show ever.
