iPhone Price Drop

With my company discount I hope to scoop up an iPhone come June. My poor Palm T/X may go the way of the dinosaurs. Well it was nice while it lasted, I guess technology is meant to evolve.

Kobe Wins MVP...finally!

Long time coming. Congratulations Mr. Bryant!
LOS ANGELES -- Kobe Bryant has won the NBA's MVP award for the first time, the Los Angeles Times reported on its Web site Friday night, citing anonymous sources familiar with the outcome of voting by media members.

The newspaper reported that commissioner David Stern will be in Los Angeles next week to present the trophy to Bryant.

"We have not been told anything by the league," Lakers spokesman John Black told The Associated Press.

Bryant, who entered the season as the league's two-time defending scoring champion, was third in the MVP voting twice -- after the 2002-03 campaign, when he averaged 30 points for the first time, and again last season, when Dallas' Dirk Nowitzki won the award.

Advertising in a Recession

"Be their choice: In a recession, you may find yourself competing with brands in unrelated categories. Strapped consumers unwilling to give up their TiVos may cut back on VitaminWater or drop their Gold's Gym memberships." -Eric Spahr "Why Consumers may never be the same" Adage.com 4/21/08

This will be the obstacle advertisers will have to surmount in the coming months. Brands will find themselves having to adjust to the changing consumption habits of their target audience. The smartest brands will find away to create a "longing" or "need" in their audience and keep them trapped in a box. Once consumers get desperate because of the recession, the market will become aware of what people truly can not live without. The task of the great advertisers will to find the best media mix to influence consumers in a periphereal and central manner. Kenji's forescast: DVR/TiVo, Blu Ray/DVD, sporting events, concerts, and junk food will see a rise in revenues across the board. People will need to distract them from the falling economy and subsequent nation crisis.
