Seattle’s Best Coffee

Posted by admin on November 5, 2011 in Commercial Culture, Random Thoughts

It’s been a while since I’ve posted, partially because it’s hard to find time to write things long enough to justify putting them here.  I’ve spent most of my posting short thoughts to Twitter and Facebook.  I’m going to try to remember to continue to post short thoughts there (@kkozlen) as well as a short [...]

Travel Observations

Posted by kkozlen on April 19, 2009 in Consumer Reviews, Personal Insights, Random Thoughts

I’ve been traveling an incredible amount these last 9 days and I’ve made a few observations on my 18 flights on 3 different airlines… – While I appreciate the satellite radio on United Airlines, they probably should avoid hits like, “It’s the end of the world as we know it.”. Another odd selection – “Country [...]

The Dyson Ball

Posted by kkozlen on February 24, 2009 in Commercial Culture, Personal Insights, Random Thoughts

I was just watching a commercial I’ve seen a hundred times for the Dyson Ball vaccuum cleaner. The suave guy with the accent talks about how a vaccuum with regular wheels can’t turn like his invention with the ball. However, it got me wondering,do you still get those little “just vaccuumed” lines on the carpet [...]

Posted by kkozlen on October 16, 2008 in Consumer Reviews, Random Thoughts

Earlier this summer, I distinctly remember seeing gas reach over the $4/gallon mark. It was everywhere on the news and suddenly every news channel was interview CEOs from companies such as Exxon/Mobil, Chevron, ConocoPhillips, etc. These CEOs attempted justify the high costs we see at the pump – along with their billions of dollars in [...]

NORM!

Posted by kkozlen on September 23, 2008 in Not Really News, Random Thoughts

I was riding my bike to work today and took notice of a few of the political banners people are starting to put in their front yards. Of course I passed Obama and McCain signs, but one sign caught my eye – George Wendt for McLean County Board. I remembered that the actor that played [...]

Privacy Please

Posted by kkozlen on July 11, 2008 in Personal Insights, Random Thoughts

I’m in New York City this weekend for a project for work surrounding the Major League Baseball All-Star game. As I was getting ready to settle in for the night, I happened to notice that instead of a “Do Not Disturb” sign, this hotel has a sign that says, “Privacy Please.” I get the Do [...]

My Friends Can’t Read

Posted by kkozlen on June 16, 2008 in Random Thoughts

I had to write a quick blog about this… A couple of weeks ago, I added a new application to my Facebook page called Visual Bookshelf. It lets me enter what I’ve read, or am reading, review things I’ve read, and even shows a graphic of the cover of the book. The funny part is [...]

Recruiting Quality Talent

Posted by kkozlen on May 6, 2008 in Random Thoughts

Random thought… If your company says it’s interested in recruiting quality talent, does that mean you should be worried?  When it comes to things like sales, they say it’s always easier to keep a good customer than it is to get anew one… shouldn’t companies be focused on retaining quality talent, or maybe they’re just [...]
