No matter what some might say to the contrary, we’re soooo not cheap. We’re, uh, frugal. Yeah, that’s it – frugal; thrifty; economical, even.

OK, so perhaps we think two-ply tissue is for wimps, and when the dish detergent runs out we fill the bottle with water and shake it until extra suds squirt out the top. That doesn’t make us cheap; it makes us sensible – and, if we might add, environmentally friendly. Not like we feel the need to explain ourselves. We don’t. We just wish someone would get off our case already… Dad!

It’s taken a couple years, but the webinar has finally taken off. How do we know? Have a look at our inbox – it’s full of invitations for this, that and the other one.

While we don’t have time to attend every session (we’re too busy blogging), we’ve seen plenty of marketing-based sessions to offer our opinion on the oft-overlooked dos and don’ts.

Microsoft has had more misses than hits lately – problem-plagued Vista; the slow release of Surface; those Jerry Seinfeld commercials – but just because the comp-tech corporation is down doesn’t mean it’s out.

Last year, Microsoft launched PhizzPop, a site that allows companies that build Web 2.0-enhanced software to exchange ideas, network, browse job postings, and engage in a host of other related activities. Not limited to its gallery of forward-thinking Web practices, the site is also a forum for online conversation about the future of Internet design. Continue reading ‘Pop, Pop, PhizzPop’

Style.com Adds Juice to Apple's iPhone With Couture and More

Invitation to New York Fashion Week get lost in the mail? Ours too. But that doesn’t mean you can’t get your fishtail-train fix.

Thanks to Style.com, the Spring ’09 ready-to-wear collections of Charles Nolan, Diane Von Furstenberg, Preen and 14 other designers are now available via an application made exclusively for iPhone and iPod Touch. According to a recent New York Times article, the app offers pics and vids from last July’s couture collections as well as daily updates from many of this week’s runway shows.

Hot on the heels of design demigods Ralph Lauren and Chanel, both of which recently launched mobile apps, Style.com’s app isn’t one of Apple’s forgettable third-party throwaways; to fashionphiles, it’s the equivalent of Gianni Versace rising from the dead to revive what lil’ sis Donatella destroyed. It’s also as comprehensive as apps in this category come, with show listings, blog items, and images that when tapped reveal a model’s name and a short review of the show in which he or she appeared.

So what does all this mean for you, ye of double-breasted Diors and Hervé Léger handbags?
