You can outrun and outsmart a zombie. Vampires not so much.

A guy from Smoketown USA was walking around handing out menus to everyone waiting. They’re just around the corner from the intersection at the railroad tracks so I’m guessing that whenever traffic is stopped for the train, he grabs a stack of menus and heads out.

Pretty clever, if you ask me. I’ve been wanting to try them, but haven’t made it over there yet. You can bet I’ll remember them now.

Marketing doesn’t always have to be expensive, but it should always be smart.

Untitled by the Other David Sharpe

There is an exhibit at the Kentucky Museum of Art and Craft by some guy calling himself “David Sharpe.” This is not me. He is an impostor. Here’s an excerpt from the museum website.

The imagination of Kentucky native David Sharpe’s palette of landscapes and figurative forms knows no boundary lines. His intuitive senses are uncanny, as if he were working purely from an instinctive, compulsive-obsessive tradition. Yet Sharpe remains in control throughout utilizing a display of dynamic interaction with ideas and subjects, all drawn from daily experiences while also addressing the traditions of painting both academic and outsider.

For more information about the “Other David Sharpe” visit KMAC’s website.

Only a few hours before Mark Zuckerberg appears on 60 Minutes, Facebook rolled out their new Profile page. Follow the link to info page to get started.

New Facebook ProfileAt first glance, it seems much easier to segment relationships into family, friends, etc. and find common interests among your friends.

As with most changes at Facebook, I’m sure there will be a flap about privacy. Do yourself a favor and read the Help Page for the new Profile. It’s a good idea to review your privacy settings periodically anyway. I’m guilty of installing apps and allowing sites to publish to my my page without giving a second thought to the kind of access they’re allowed.
