AC/DC is the world’s greatest band and I can prove it

They are the 2nd highest seller of back list albums, behind The Beatles.

AC/DC is still producing albums, hits and touring. The Beatles are not.

Look out world, here we come.


No, it's not 1992 - it's Halloween! The boys and I have decided on our Halloween 2008 costumes. The women don't stand a chance, these guys were classy – and clearly they have staying power.
I know what you’re thinking: Why didn’t I think of that? The answer is simple; you still have your dignity…

Yeah - this is why I love the Halloween Biz.

On the last day of my 35th year...

I needed something to make me feel young, cool and relevant. This was it.

Scouting for Camel Toads…


I know this article is nearly 3 years old, but some things just never stop being funny. It also reminds me that Iced Tea is the root of all evil.

Sell your house on MySpace?


Why not? I figured I'd take the opportunity to test MySpace as a place to sell things. In the process I learned there are a lot Real Estate groups on MySpace and since selling a house is all about networking I figured I give it a shot. You can check it out here: and if you have a MySpace don't be shy - befriend my house!

Bringing Sexy Back!

I was chatting with a friend over dinner the other night about the growth of Sexy costumes in the Halloween Industry. We were discussing how Leg Avenue has kept their position as the leader in the category since the beginning. Much like BuyCostumes.com they had a key value proposition and also established their brand. I have yet to hear of a customer looking for a “disguise” or “Rubies” costume, but quite often I hear customers asking for Leg Avenue. Regardless if this was luck or a well planned strategy it worked. It will be interesting to see if licensed costumes change the game.

Social network overload

MySpace, Facebook, Twitter, Google and Blogger - the list of social sites I belong to goes on and on. A while back I thought someone should create a "single" sign on or user authentication which would allow my Face Book friends to view my MySpace profile. I extended the idea to include a project which I cannot actually discuss, form a company I am very close to. The idea is let people pick their religion (social network) and then empower them to jump across other social network sites. If this idea takes off it will greatly reduce the number of accounts (I'll be the first to toss my Facebook in favor of MySpace), but the upshot is it will be much easier for me and others to interact with all friends, regardless of their religion. I read a very interesting article on this very topic here. and here.
