Starbucks closing 600 stores.

That’s not a misprint. 600 stores: http://biz.yahoo.com/ap/080701/starbucks_closings_urgent.html?.v=1

I think the economy is hurting. It could also be due to the fact that they open 4 stores on every major street corner in my town. That doesn’t seem like really good business sense.

From some 250 down to 23.

Just took the Inbox Zero approach to clearing out the dead weight in my email client. Not quite at zero but getting closer and feeling less burdened by it on every delete.

Just 5-10 more accounts to go.

Matt is dancing again

Posted by Christian - 24/06/08 at 08:06:24 am

Matt Harding has been pretty internet famous for a few years. In ‘03 he quit his job and decided to travel for a while on the money he had saved. While out, a friend talked him into doing some dumb little dance that he would do while at work. Deciding it funny to themselves, he continued dancing for the camera in all of the other places he went. Once home, he edited and posted a video of his dancing around the world and it spread like wildfire.

Because the Internet is so great and people just throw money at it for no reason, Stride Gum saw the video, contacted Matt and then funded another video (or two). If you’re following along, that means Matt gets paid to travel and dance.

His 2008 video is out, in HD no less. While I don’t really understand it, I do love it and think it is pretty well produced.

If you make it to the :50 second mark, you’ll probably stay to the end.

I haven’t seen one thing worth buying yet. I don’t think anyone else has either cause the products aren’t moving.

Hey Autumn!

It’s June 17th. A Tuesday. The day of the week that new music is always released. Time for you to go get the new Coldplay album. Now. And mark your calendar for the upcoming DC show and the Dallas show in late November.
