A random Facebook NewsFeed item brought my attention to Bank of America's Photo Expressions credit card. The premise of the card: Upload or mail in a picture of your choice and have it displayed as the background (2?x2?) of your credit card. Want it changed? That's free as often as we'd like. Using the site as [...]

Hypochondriacs are prevalent in today's society, but with the power of the internet, apparently we have developed into cyberchondriacs too.

Out of last-minute-shopping panic (and interest) I visited Gifts.com this weekend anxiously trying to find presents for those hard-to-buy-for loved ones in my life.

On my way home from a business trip Friday I picked up a copy of The Wall Street Journal in La Guardia.

Imagine going to a store with brick walls all the way around so you couldn't enter the building to make a purchase. You'd think the owner was crazy. Yet, that's what businesses are doing when they don't have a Web site. How do businesses stay in business without a Web site? [...]

Every year I have the best of intentions to send out real holiday cards with moving, life-changing messages to colleagues, family members, friends and neighbors.

This past week was finals week for Ball State students. A time where every undergrad's blood pressure is at an ultimate high and the end of the semester seems so close, but yet so far away.
