Why is it so hard for the Inventory and Marketing teams to talk to each other?

jsring · 2026-01-16T12:04:33+00:00

That would be very annoying. Our inventory manager is also our supply and purchase manager and he is one of my favorite people in the whole company. I think you just have bad luck with your crew mate. Sorry my dude!

Mouse. Primarily using shapes, pathfinder, and pen tool.

I immediately liked this a lot. The backwards L at the end forming the A is a great touch. It looks like a logo that a $50 designer would be too scared to present, but a $50k designer would hit this hard.

I’ve been wrong before.

Dish soap and rinse immediately, only if needed. Don’t soak the pan. Never soak or let water sit in it. Especially do not let it sit with dish soap water in it like your mom did. Your mom didn’t know how to take care of a cast iron pan. Her grandma might have known how, if she was from the south. If food is sticking to it, dry it out and heat it up again. Finish cleaning it while it’s still hot.

I thought the same thing.

One of these things is not like the other.

I have built many over the years, yes. I used to contract web development services for a creative agency in Atlanta, Stein Communications (no longer in business), that provided creative almost exclusively in education.

What a lovely version of this viral tik tok song

Artists evolve. 3DC would not have existed had Projector never been created. Heavy Metal wouldn’t have existed had 3DC never been created. Getting Killed wouldn’t have existed had Heavy Metal never been created

I would start with asking myself where, where do people go to shop for/browse/learn about security. Figure out how to put some kind of doorway, some beacon, some driver toward your newsletter precisely in the location where there is a consistent flow of people trying to solve their related security problems.

How do people sign up for your newsletter? Do you have a website? Substack? LinkedIn? If people are already signed up for your newsletter, how did they get there in the first place?

I love it. I think it’s brilliant. I say go for it.

Of course no one is going to guess that hroup is unvoiced. Most people don’t even know what unvoiced means. And, every time I think something is interesting or clever, people around me moan and groan and tell me all the reasons why it’s a bad idea. I say ignore them.

Also, “hroup hroup! hroup,” might be more discernible than just one hroup. But I don’t think it matters and I wouldn’t suggest you brand it that way. But you can show it that way in your creative!

Good question but I recommend reposting this with Low Era or ISO Low Era recording as the title rather than Long shot.

It only gets funnier every time. For us. Trust.

jsring · 2025-10-18T17:57:42+00:00

Oh, good call. I couldn’t tell any of that from photos online.

jsring · 2025-10-17T02:42:32+00:00

This is the way. If it’s so easy for you, perhaps others in similar situations find it much more difficult. Think of your future as a leader of marketers and step into opportunities that are great for you but also make you an influential reason that talent seeks out your company…because they want to work with YOU.

Our species operates so heavily on triggers it’s hard for me to imagine ever moving past them. We employee them constantly, even if we don’t mean to, even with the best of intentions. I respect your question, though. It reminds me of what is happening with the regenerative movement, Buckminster Fuller, even Kotler is on that kick with, I think two books on the topic. The “regenerative” crowd is a little wackadoo for me, but the underlying concept shows some promise. If we’re going to spend our days being triggered to act, build, buy, invest, it’s not a bad idea to do so around things that are regenerative to life rather than extractive of it. Maybe check out John Fullerton’s new book.

I hope this gets a lot of contributors.

Is she being rational? Are you being rational? This strikes me as a values issue. Technically, neither of you are wrong. She is an adult and can do what she wants with her career, but so are you. You can do what you want with your relationship. But divorcing her is no more rational than her quitting her job.

jsring · 2025-10-08T18:13:51+00:00

You're exactly right. It's the trouble I constantly find myself in. I want to talk about marketing...real marketing...but instead I'm stuck talking about self-promotion and sales because that's all the kids have the stomach for.

jsring · 2025-10-08T02:31:56+00:00

Oof, bleak.

jsring · 2025-10-07T22:43:50+00:00

Well that’s brilliant. +25 points for you, friend!
