Good morning. It’s raining here in Seattle. What else is new…So, nice being here. It’s been a while. These days I barely even YouTube! Who would have thought…
Anyways, since we last spoke, I have launched a new venture. It’s an ecommerce start-up called VanityKippah.com. You can read more about the business here.
Basically, the site sells fashion forward Kippahs, also referred to as Yarmkulkes or skullcaps. In light of the current political season, my first Kippah line is the presidential collection. This collection features two products: an Obama Kippah, the Obamica and the McCain Kippah, the McCippah.
You can read some news articles about the site here.
I love water. Who doesn’t love water? Unless of course you are drowning.
I also love antioxidants. In fact, if I owned a sports franchise like Mark Cuban, I’d call them the Antioxidants.
Imagine then the combination of the two. That’s right. You heard me correctly. Water + antioxidants together as one.
A match made in Snapple heaven and recently unleashed on planet earth.
Full press release here. IMO, you ought to print this sucker out, frame it and hang it on your wall. And once you’re done exerting all this energy, head over to the fridge, open it, push away the Sunny D and grab some Antioxidant water.
Hey All. It’s been a long time since I’ve been at the helm of this site. Ah. My bad. What has transpired during this sudden lapse? Was I taken captive by the forces of writers block? Was I taken into custody by a foreign Country? Absolutely not! Not sure what has even inspired me to spin these faux-fantasy excuses!
All I know is this; months ago I packed my suitcases, two of them and moved to a city where the sun doesn’t shine. Ever. Even on Sundays. LOL.
What has been going on? Well, the company I work for launched an online tutoring platform…amongst several other products. The tutoring platform works very similar to the concept of ebay.com. Ebay.com is a huge retailer, although, in reality they don’t actually sell any products. Ebay.com is actually a technology company. And that of course means that most of the company is comprised of males who wear shorts, socks and flip-flops. The same shorts and socks 365 days a year.
Ebay.com makes it very easy for anyone who has something to sell to be able to sell it online. They also make it easy for someone looking to buy something to make a secure purchase. It is Ebay’s job to ensure the technology works. Also, they need to make sure there’s a robust community of buyers and sellers; supply and demand.

GlobalScholar.com is doing the same thing, but in the realm of education. Where those who have what to offer; their educational services, can do so on our platform. Many measures are taken beforehand to assure the quality of tutors on the site. At the end of the day, much is dependent on student and parent feedback…which is equivalent to customer reviews. Education should be held to the same standards of retail; if not more! You ca watch a site demo here.
Online tutoring is not a new thing. There are several great companies who are doing a terrific job in this space. Tutor.com and TutorVista.com are two solid examples. A key differentiator between them and GlobalScholar.com is that those companies actually employee the tutors. Whereas on GlobalScholar.com, tutors are freelances offering services on the tutoring platform. It is the tutors who decide how much they want to pay, what they will teach and when they will teach.
Yes? No? Just answer the question. Please. I beg of you.
Are you my friend looking to get educated? Are you looking for a degree? Do you already have a degree only you do not recall where you left it? Perhaps your degree is waiting for you to claim it (him/her) at the lost and found.
Here’s the deal; I got a job. Actually worked on a website. The site is allows you to compare online college degree. For example, if you wanted to compare the cost of an online degree, this site has this sort of info.
This is a screen shot of my site:
Please give the site a spin. The URL is www.onlinecollegeguru.com.And in case you were wondering; the girl on the site is not somebody I know. She is just a stock photo. Oh well.
It’s Friday. Will indulge a bit and talk shop about the Gap Inc. Been harping on this for a long time. On this blog. On my other blog. And on my YouTube channel.
Mind you, the Gap sites are pretty well done. There are still glaring issues though. From the get-go, the creation of the Forth and Towne brand never made an sense.
The oddest thing was that F&T was not set up for ecommerce. Huh?
Do I think there is hope for the Gap? Yes. But they need to make a few important changes.
The most bizarre thing. A while back I blogged about jcrew coupon codes.
A bit later, I discovered that the above post was attracting traffic to my site as a result of people searching for “jcrew coupons“.
Point is, the traffic has held up and has even increased. People are coming to my site with the hope of finding jcrew discounts, jcrew coupons, jcrew deals, jcrew sales etc.
So, people are coming here. It is my duty to be a gracious host. From now on, I will try to update this site with Jcrew coupons.
There is a Jcrew.com Sale. Going on now. Click here.
It’s been years since I watched this flick. Glengarry Glen Ross. The movie is about sales and leads.
Anyways, today, I found the clip on YouTube. Not the whole movie. But the best part of it.
It’s a speech given by Alec Baldwin. When I watched this afternoon, I was laughing very loud. That doesn’t happen very often. That I laugh very loud. In the afternoon. Mornings; maybe. Night; sometimes. Afternoons? Never!
Then I pinged the clips to a bunch of people on my MSN messenger. (add me! st@ice.com)
