The People, Places and Things that made our inaugural Magic Tradeshow and smashing success. Tim Scott of Lucky Devil in Atlanta. It was nice to put the name to the face. Tim's suggestion of Battista's Hole in the Wall for dinner. All the red and white wine you can drink, old photos of celebs on every wall, a strolling accordianist named Gordy and the kind of worn in patina that comes from being just off the strip since 1970. Old Vegas ...

Hey Kids, Just got back from a great time at Magic. Full details after the recoup.

Whilst preparing for the big show in Vegas next week I have scaled back a tad on my posts the past few days. So much to do so little time. Let's have some fun with some links Here's a Dump Mmm Beefy - Tips on picking that perfect steak Watch Those Fingers - How to take care of a Moluccan Cockatoo Let's Not Put The Cart Before The Gerbil - How to decide on a first pet for your child Best Week Tom Bashing ...

Yesterday was my hump day. Yep, Valentines Day was spent staging all the Tinymeat samples and boxing 'em up for their trip to Las Vegas. 65 lbs and one box later they are off and on their way to a holding pen at Bally's Casino. It truly feels like a huge weight off my shoulders. Bevs and I had a quiet night of Sushi, dreaming not-so-tiny, and the Shield. How much longer until Kavannaugh totally goes off the deepend? Still so ...

4 was sooo last year - Miss Lucille turned 5 this weekend and things will never be the same again. She insists on being called Lucille as opposed to Lucy and is no longer the rugrat of days past. As the result of being the daughter of two "blended" households, she had back-to-back celebrations. Sat. was the organized "Gym" party complete with an obstacle course and assorted shenanigans. Yesterday Bevs made her a Hello Kitty cake and tonight we are ...

180 items for spring. I told you my pimp hand was strong. Flame On - Eleven days to go until we peel the wraps off the spring line, this time at Magic (Las Vegas). I've been told that with an attendence of 95,000 over 4 days that it is THE preeminent fashion market of the world. OK I should be freaking out a bit, but I have been on this earth long enough to know that whatever happens, happens, and to ...

Tapes 'n Tapes - "Cowbell" Head like a kite - "Noisy at the Circus" The Diggs - "It's Just Like You Say" News: Split Enz to reunite: The members of Split Enz will reunite for a stadium tour of Australia. The band (an early incarnation of Crowded House) disbanded twenty two years ago after forming in 1972. They hit international fame with the 1980 release of True Colours. Five dates have been announced so far for June. Mr. Newcombe take note - Screen Media Films ...

Today finds me laying out and tweaking, mostly tweaking the Spring 06 catalog. Tedious work indeed. I suppose someday soon I will be passing the task to someone else but for now it's all me. 180 products in 12 pages, hot damn! Took Miss Lucille to see Hoodwinked this weekend. Andy Dick cast as a pseudo evil-genius bunny. Brilliant! Sad to see my old Seattle hometown Seahawks go down in the Superbowl. Oh well. I missed the halftime commercials but caught Mick ...

Giant pen and ink patterns came to life this morning. One will sneak into the spring line and the other will be the basis for the Fall '06 homeware line. Cover and intro spreads for the spring catalog are complete so now the task of fitting all 174 pieces into 12 pages has begun. Hey how about photos from some happy Tinymeat customers? Or at least a shout-out. Jericho, Bellevue, Burnaby, Mount Laurel, UK and all my PDX peeps let your ...

Local Radio Stations Suck? - With the Noxon2 Web Radio and a wireless network you can have a computer free tuner that is capable of pulling in programming from around the globe. A spiffy Google Redux A rundown on the current Ajax based calendars It's a Music Genome Thing - I absolutely love Last.fm (my page) but it ooks like it might be time to take a look at Pandora. These are programs that allow one to discover new music and create/share your ...

When a funnel becomes a megaphone - For years marketing guru Seth Godin has been singing the praises of the "funnel". Lots of ideas go in, the best are distilled and flow out the bottom. Now he's telling us to turn the funnel on it's side, thus becoming a megaphone and letting the customers/sneezers become part of the process. This makes perfect sense in the world of web 2.0. Tools like Del.ico.us, Riffs, Squidoo and blogs spread powerful, relative and ...
