Fixing Starbucks

March 14, 2011

Good article in the New York Times about Howard Schultz’s attempts to revitalize Starbucks. Left unanswered, indeed unasked, is whether Schultz has the smarts and the guts to bring back Chantico. Also, since you asked, I think the logo change was a mistake and that Starbucks’ mochas are way behind those sold by Caribou and [...]

October 28, 2010

This is so unbelievable that I can’t even believe it. One of my favorite musicians, Wynton Maraslis, provides music and commentary to a video about my all time favorite player, Barry Sanders, from my favorite NFL team, the Detroit Lions.

August 9, 2010

In my message yesterday on Genesis 2:4-17, I referenced a video about attention that you can see here: I made a few mistakes, though, in my description of this video. One, I forgot that the viewer is only to count the passes made by the people wearing white shirts. Two, I said that they made [...]

How I Met Ernie Harwell

August 5, 2010

I grew up in the northern suburbs of Detroit and followed the Detroit Tigers when I was a kid. So, like millions of others the voice of Ernie Harwell is part of the soundtrack of my life and there were many nights, especially in 1984, when his voice serenaded me to sleep. So, like many [...]
