From work, and from this blog. I’d like to think I’ll actually be having a vacation from work, and I’d like to think that I’ll be ending my vacation from this blog.
Because, you know, writing a couple short posts a month is so hard…
I’ve been sitting on a post for a while that referenced something Hugh had written about how 95% of advertising sucks.
My thought was, well, if someone came into an ad agency and explained that their business produced 95% crap, but that they banked on maybe, hopefully, producing 5% of something that was actually worth paying attention to the agency would tell them they’re in the wrong business. Right?
So what are ad agencies doing?
What they’ve always done, I guess. Monkeys in a cage.
So what now? For this blog I mean. I don’t know about the agencies thing. I haven’t figured that bit out yet.
Should probably start with, what am I doing? What do I need to be writing about?
Vacation’s over, time to figure that out.

I'd write about cool shit Joel. Your more then capable. It's the mantra that I live by on my blog. Also…come write some cool guest post shit on my blog when you get a chance.
Sounds good, Stuart!
the problem with most advertising (besides being 95% crap) is that it caters to stereotypes….rather than really caring about people and their needs. Thanks for digging deeper.
