Check out the new Amazon

While trying to recoup from all that travel, I popped by Amazon for a little visit, also in the interest of work.  We’re benchmarking shopping carts this week, you see.
Anyway, I was pleasantly surprised by the new look that this superstore has unveiled. And it looks rather festive too.

So, of course I logged in to […]

You see, one of my key projects this year involve rolling out the new corporate design for […]

Ugly is the New Beautiful in 2007

Having caught three episodes of Ugly Betty on local TV, I’m more than ready to put my stamp of approval on this quirky drama comedy about a plain-looking but intelligent, confident and resourceful young woman starting out on her career in the superficial world of high fashion publishing. 
What I dig about this show is the […]
