November 24, 2009

If you’re thinking about moving to the East Valley and looking for a very safe place to live, you might want to consider Gilbert. AZ Central reports Gilbert being the #24 safest city in America.
Mesa ranks as #170 (not bad), but we have a little bit of catch up to do. In fact, it cannot [...]

The Courage to Be Different

November 11, 2009

I blog about unconventionality, and I tell you, that’s a very lonely world. People wonder why I blog about such a seemingly unpopular subject and tell me to write something “more people” will be interested in reading. They tell me how I can get more traffic that way, and how I can profit from ad [...]

Why Cheesecake Factory Is Better Than Macaroni Grill

October 29, 2009

My wife calls Macaroni Grill in Mesa to request for a reservation. It was for a large party (28 people) and the response from Macaroni Grill went like this.
“Uh… that’s a lot of people and we can only do set menu”. Besides,  they didn’t want to help break the bills into individual — this was [...]

Why Grocery Stores Go Out of Business in Arizona

October 27, 2009

I’ve always been critical about the ways grocery stores market every day. I think it’s full of “bad examples”. Unless I am inside Fresh and Easy, Trader Joe’s, Whole Foods or Sprouts, I won’t know any difference whenever visiting places like Basha’s or Albertson’s.
Then there are service friendly ones, such as Safeway, Vons and Fry’s. [...]

How to Thrive and Profit In Bad Economy – Ignore Everyone

October 22, 2009

So, it stops people from doing something worthwhile achieving, killing an idea that could otherwise produce great outcome.

Honesty Is Always Good and Authentic

October 19, 2009

Gotta love Sun Devil fans.
On Saturday, ASU QB Danny Sullivan had the best day of his career.  After being booed by his own crowd last Saturday against Washington State, Sullivan makes a 50 yard pass at 5 sec left in the 4th quarter to win against Washington this past week. The QB committed 3 interceptions [...]

October 6, 2009

Recently, Mashable listed top 20 “Must Follow” NFL tweets. There are players like Reggie Bush and Larry Fitzgerald mentioned. As you probably know, Twitter is also popular among NBA athletes.
What does this mean to the public?
