Weather Weenies

What happened to our tough northern constitutions?? For cryin’ in your beer. It was cold today. So suddenly all the schools closed??

Now I hate to begrudge my kids a day off, but am I the only one that saw irony in it? My kids have the day off because it was too cold to go outside, so they spend most of the day outside playing in the snow. And it wasn’t just my kids either. The neighborhood was full of kids outside today.

Suck it up guys. It gets cold here. It snows here. Maybe for only a few more years if Al Gore is right. You can deal with a little adversity. It builds character.


Not Your Father’s Oldsmobile

Kodak has launched it’s ink jet killer (finally). It’s a printer that uses ink that’s 50% the price of other ink jet printers. This should spawn some interesting reactions in the market. Personally, I think it’s going to trigger a price war. But it will be nice for Kodak to not be the one reacting to the price war for a change.

However, the really interesting development is the edgy marketing approach. This is not typical Kodak. It’s goofy, irreverent, and exhibits a refreshing attitude that may (hopefully) be the new Kodak.
