Okay – the craziness has finally settled down. The Pittsburgh Steelers had a last minute win. Super Bowl XLIII was great. However, its the other half of the craziness which I’m about to turn to – the ads. I’ve honestly never been interested in them before, but given that I’m beginning to blog fairly regularly [...]

Hey, I just finished reviewing Microsoft Songsmith, and I have to admit I’m pretty scathing about it. Prior to reviewing the product, I watched the advertisement to their product, and I hope that the terrible fake musical thing didn’t color my judgement.
Personally I think the ad is pretty chessy and doesn’t [...]

Hopefully this is just leading up to a bigger advertising campaign about something that actually might make [...]

Funnily enough, networking problems stalled my effort of initially posting this yesterday, but at least Tuesday’s edition of The Seeker Daily is now up.
