Sadly, Pandora Is Still Going Bankrupt
Is it crazy to suggest that they start…(wait for it, wait for it)… CHARGING REAL MONEY (as opposed to hugs and rainbows) TO USE PANDORA? I know they already have a freemium model, encouraging upgrades to “Pandora One” for $36/year. But maybe we’ve finally reached a point where companies have to get a little more aggressive on the “-mium” part of the equation, to prevent a beloved service from going away? Easier said than done, sure. But when I see a company hemorrhaging money with one paid product that seems to be underpriced (at least based on the few Pandora devotees I spoke to), I can’t help but wonder if/when they’ll stand up and say “yo dude, these waffles don’t make themselves.” (via)

Four literary themed trucks are part of a new ad campaign for the Johnson County Library. Officials hope the trucks will spark interest and bring even more readers to their doors….Barkley Advertising Agency, a locally based business, offered its service — valued at $33,000 — free of charge. Company vice-president Tom Demetriou offered the pro bono work because he wanted to remind people of the sanctuary found at libraries, where the community is intrinsically bound by stories.

Since we just got a new SUV (don’t trip, green mafia — it’s a small/fuel efficient one), I was looking for a new tire cover for the spare in back.
DING! DING! DING! We have a winner!!!
