"Read any good books on advertising lately?" posted by ~Ray
Posted on 2008-01-02 00:17:44

Dear Ad Gurus. Marketing Mavens and Everyone Else:I'm interested to see what books on advertising strategy and/or creative are being thumbed through by advertising professionals. More importantly what books out there do you evaluate should be read by young creatives? Which should be committed to memory? Which should be shredded and doused with gasoline and then.. well.. you get the idea. I already have a couple in mind like "Hey Whipple. Squeeze This," by Luke Sullivan and "Radical Careering" by Sally Hogshead but with so many other titles out there. I'd love to know educated opinions. conclude free to write as much or as little as you like. Thanks in advance for your thoughtful participation. A terrific -- and short and simple -- book is by Hank Seiden. It's called Advertising Pure and Simple. It was written about 20 years ago but the concepts are timeless and rooted in human nature. Strongly recommended and I've read dozens of books on the subject. Ogilvy's books are golden too but Seiden's is well pure and simple.-- Ken I would also advise "The Tipping Point" by Malcolm Gladwell. I have consistently referenced or used the core principles from this book in projects I have worked on in the past few years. A more recent schedule would be "The Long Tail" by Chris Anderson. The trends outlined here are valuable to anyone in business. I've always found books to be more valuable for strategy for some reason.. mostly because of the depth to which they can take their reader. I love anything by Seth Godin. For anything creative. I typically turn to publications or online. These be to be more current and inspirational. I picked up a magazine the other day called. "GOOD Magazine".. it was a GOOD read (I experience awful but I couldn't resist). I've taught several semesters at the Chicago Portfolio School and I furnish every categorise the same reading list: the annuals (specifically Communication Arts and the One Show) and "Whipple" by Luke Sullivan. I'm considering adding Ernie Schenck's "The Houdini Solution" because Chapter 10 has some great concepting exercises. I love Seth Godin's works and Sally Hogsheads book. But they're not going to help kids put their books together. Jon Steele's "Truth. Lies and Advertising" and "Perfect Pitch" especially are must reads. But not for kids trying to create their books. I vehemently disagree with anyone who suggests aspiring creative read Ogilvy.

"Should I Use the Read Me Later Add-on ?" posted by ~Ray
Posted on 2007-12-15 15:46:17

Some go was recently created around a new Firefox add-on called published on IdeaShower. The add-on lets the user add websites that he find interesting to a Read Me Later list which acts as a storage for all those links. The idea is not bad at all because I often find myself in a position where I’m unable to read through a website at the moment. The Firefox add-on  adds two buttons to the navigation toolbar which are called construe Later and Reading List. The Read Later button adds the active URL to the Reading enumerate where they can be loaded again at a later time. Bookmarks can be synced by using browser syncing tools and are accessible as well in your Bookmarks folder. The main problem that I encountered while using the add-on was that it was not possible to act the Reading List button from the navigation toolbar to another toolbar. I do not use the navigation toolbar at all and it is kinda puzzling that one can only act the construe Later add. I therefor decided to stick with my usual way of storing interesting links. I undergo a folder in the bookmarks toolbar that is called temp and I add all bookmarks to it of websites that look interesting but cannot be read at the moment. The benefits of this procedure are that I’m not forced to use the navigation toolbar and have more space in my other toolbar. Recent updates to the Read It Later extension accept for repositioning of the buttons on the address toolbar. I wanted to use it but didn’t because of this problem that has now been fixed and I can use it just fine now.

"Single Author Blogs I Read" posted by ~Ray
Posted on 2007-11-27 21:46:58

The blogosphere is attracting some great populate. In September. I shared. The stuff put together by teams with editors and money (with a few exceptions). I like those blogs because they represent a phenomenal resource for all of us who are learning how to run a business. I have a second lay aside my little private stash. The people out there writing about life bring home the bacon and business who I personally desire. Those sole individual bloggers just telling us what they think whether or not we compassionate. Here’s a shout out to all of you who create verbally because it stokes you out. “HorsePigCow is a evince my mom used to use to avoid embarrassment when she called someone by the wrong name. Something desire. “Hi James. Jake *HorsePigCow* Jason. How are you?” It’s a way of saying. “Hell. I’m human and I screw up but let’s move on…” “I’ve just finished my Masters studying Soil Chemistry and decided to tag along on his research trip before I look for a job. It’s late September. 1997. ‘Someday. I’d desire to be in a remote place like this screwing around on the web. All I need is a fast connection.’ I had no idea that the phrase I just uttered would change state a life goal.” To have the integrity to admit she walked into the emergency room with a and her other transfer stuck in a booze box made me love her immediately. be your content fed to you gently with categorise and aplomb you should communicate to my wife. Want it fed to you raw with a sprinkle of wit a belt along of gratify and the good old velvet mallet? I carry you Naomi the nerd evince smith. “A few days ago some visitor found my blog by typing ‘don’t be a programmer’ in Google. We shouldn’t be just programmers and forget about our customers but instead try to be approachable and make sure that our customers get what they really ask for. Making your customer feel comfortable all is more important than knowing all the latest algorithms.” “My (now) wife said one day ‘you need a blog’. I do everything she tells me and so ‘dog or higher’ was born.” And the name? A Simpson’s reference. “Fat Tony was supplying rat’s milk to the school canteen. Mayor Quimby is aghast and turns accusingly to Fat Tony admonishing him: ‘You promised me dog or higher.’” “No. Rand’s is not my real label. I use my real name as a full measure engineering manager of teams that designs phenomenal software. The opinions expressed on this website are entirely my own. They do not represent the strategy/plans/thoughts of my employer my friends my cat or that kid who always got picked last for sports and who alter now has a larger net worth than his entire high school.” “At last week’s conference. Dan Nunan told a story of how some bozo had claimed that if somebody built a better search engine then populate would change by reversal from explore in an instant. Some Silicon Valley start-up could do to Google what Google did to Alta Vista. Since that bozo was me. I think I’d exceed confirm myself.” “Samuel Ryan is the storied web freelancer who lives in the basement of a suburban Milwaukee home with his wonderful wife of 2 years. When not imagining future schemes for online riches he can be open failing at past schemes for online riches. He practices saying “torch” instead of “flashlight” and “peg” instead of “clothespin,” so that sometime soon he can properly discuss a cheap flat in London. He also hopes to become the first half-Asian to successfully journey the Bering Strait in a skiff.” “Just as a blueprint is important when building a house goal setting is important when starting or growing your business. If you don’t undergo any idea where you are going what you’re doing or where you see yourself in the future; then it is extremely hard to get there. You may be asking what kind of direction I can furnish. I’m glad you asked.” Trent has two kids under two. He has a full time job. He writes four posts a day. It would be that he reads no less than four books a week. Oh and he has a little public speaking gig. Pay attention this guy is about to rule the world. I think it’s “One step forward two steps approve” with feedreaders. Unless you’re Shane. He just took a giant go approve and ditched the whole thing. Leo from ZenHabits apparently has only ten in his reader. Why do I think I’m not on the list? More Ascetic than Leo! I conclude like I should win an allocate. Lets call it the three sieve grains award desire the old yogi’s weekly fasting portions. Is not having a reader among our crew the public equivalent of not having a tv (we don’t really though we finally succumbed to netflix)? So we are all curious. What makes someone worth adding to your reader and what gets someone kicked off? Desperate bloggers want to know.

"which book should I read first to begin ? in C and C++" posted by ~Ray
Posted on 2007-11-03 15:01:03

conceive of. In. label is the leading programming community offering advice on computer technology applications such as PHP. Java and Microsoft's ASP. NET as come up as software development web development and game programming. I knew a little about cpp,so,what should I do next?which schedule do you read first?This affix has been edited by bobby l: 10 Sep. 2007 - 05:39 AM This is one of those FAQs on the forum so a search of the forum will return many discussions on the topic. Many people be to advise "The C++ Programming Language (Special 3rd Edition) " by Bjarne Stroustrup. It is a really great book in my opinion. Typically entry to mid level programming books go in three flavors: "How-to" -- Lots of examples lighten on theory. Although these are typically easy to go many of them contain technical mistakes (usually due to an attempt to act the material simple -- I always get mad when I hit the books that they taught me bad practices or misguided me)."Textbook" -- Tend to undergo a mixture of theory and examples. Much of the material is actually covered in the "Assignments" so you should bring home the bacon the problems. Can be very boring."compose" -- My favorite. These tend to be much more technical. They try to adjoin a lot of information and tend to undergo lots and lots of small examples. Generally the three types can be distinguished by their thickness. The "how-to" books tend to be rather slim and the Reference books tend to be really thick. The text books tend to fall in the lay. Personally I like the reference books. Some of the other threads on this topic are:I added this topic to the C++ FAQ so if everyone would impel in their favorite C++ schedule maybe we can undergo a good resource for this common challenge. Here's a good list of books all of which generally go highly reccomended around the C++ community. The only book which I feel is missing from that list (Which is also very come up respected and geared towards end beginners from a non-programming background) is "You Can Do It!" By Francis Glassborow. By the way there are also alot of C++ books which you certainly want to avoid;- Any book which offers to teach you in X Days or Hours- Any schedule which claims to be for Dummies/Idiots/etc.- Any book written by Herbert SchildtIn most of these cases the problem is that the books teach the language the do by way by starting out teaching the 'C' subset of the language before touching on 'real' C++. The upshot is generally a lot more work and frustration for the learner using these books to "un learn" the poor style that the authors promote (or in some cases the books lack much editorial control and include end misinformation)

"What should we read to be entertained and enlightened?" posted by ~Ray
Posted on 2007-10-28 12:56:48

So my task for the forbear minutes of this week so far has been to decide a schedule for the next meeting of my book assort but I've been worked like a dog for the past bring together of days and haven't had measure to do the proper trawling of the old interweb to alter a considered choice. And now one of the members is pestering me for the choice so she can buy it in time to take on holiday on friday. So would anyone compassionate to make a recommendation? The choice needs to be made before the day is out!We're a small assort of interested and (I hope) intelligent readers but we're not very academic about the whole thing so basically desire books which are stimulating reads without being dumb page turners in the da vinci code mould. Intriguing call and/or content is a must. And if it can prompt a wider discussion not limited to a purely literary context (as did a million little pieces particularly after the whole (non-)fiction furore) then that's just perfick. My measure choice (Edward St Aubyn's Some wish) was multilaterally despised somewhat unfairly I thought so I'm looking to impress this time with a stunning left handle choice. What little-known gem should I drop for? You don't mention whether you are looking for fiction or non-fiction but as a non-fiction reader almost exclusively my suggestions will be focused on that. I'm not sure what you would consider a left-field choice - admittedly each of the below are fairly mainstream so apologies for not answering the question directly. I have recently read Al pierce's and been very impressed. There are a lot of talking points as you can imagine. Also certainly stirred a great deal of emotion. James Surowiecki's offers much food for thought. Lastly. Brian Greene's was very challenging and could have been better read in a assort so there would be a greater chance of understanding the subject in greater depth posted by at on September 12 For scads of fun in behavioral science try by Richard Wiseman. For over twenty years psychologist Professor Richard Wiseman has examined the quirky science of everyday life. In Quirkology he navigates the backwaters of human behavior discovering the tell-tale signs that furnish away a liar the secret science behind speed-dating and personal ads and what a person's sense of humor reveals about the innermost workings of their mind-- all along paying tribute to others who undergo carried out similarly weird and wonderful bring home the bacon. Wiseman's research has involved secretly observing people as they go about their daily business conducting unusual experiments in art exhibitions and music concerts and change surface staging fake séances in allegedly haunted buildings. With thousands of research subjects from all over the world including enamored couples unwitting pedestrians and guileless dinner guests. Wiseman presents a fun clever and unexpected picture of the human mind. It was just released in the US last week so no one will have read it yet. I loved it!posted by at on September 12 If nonfiction is ok is an awesome book. It is both a gripping true story and an incredibly eye-opening book on the topic of extreme poverty and our responsibility towards those affected. Reading it was a life-changing undergo for me. Somehow it manages to be an engaging read while also being informative and challenging our beliefs on the topic of poverty. It's pretty much guaranteed to stimulate plenty of discussion posted by at on September 12 Nthing The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night Time. Life of Pi and the Kite Runner. Good choices depend on who's in your club though. I attended a schedule unify meeting where Jodi Picoult's book My Sister's Keeper was discussed. Not everyone loved the schedule but the discussion was great. Most of her books are on sort of controversial/interesting/timely topics so change surface if you don't really like the way she writes or whatever there's good interesting things to communicate about posted by at on September 12 I highly recommend British novelist Pat Barker. The trilogy: Regeneration (1990). The Eye in the Door (1993). The go Road (1995). go Road was awarded the Booker prize. Regeneration went over well with my schedule assort posted by at on September 12 Pillars of the hide and darken Atlas are both excellent books but a bit long for a schedule club assignment. If you want something funny informative and surprisingly (somewhat) contemplative try by AJ Jacobs. It's not very deep but it's a good read. I read it six months ago and I'm still recommending it to my friends posted by at on September 12 I just finished Cormac McCarthy's and was completely blown away. One of the beat works of fiction that I have ever read - McCarthy's writing is brilliant in this bring home the bacon. I believe this work marked the beginning of McCarthy's alter toward a lean economic call of writing (see NO COUNTRY FOR OLD MEN and THE ROAD) from the opulent writing of his earlier works. I tried to read his SUTREE and the eloquence of his call was far too rich for my literary palate and I stopped before the.

Posted on 2007-10-06 09:18:51

Today is my measure day at work before going on pass for the next week so your local book blog ordain be M. I. A for a bunco while. But not to mind. I undergo several books to read while I'm gone so I'll undergo plenty to create verbally about when I return. In the meantime. I'm looking for suggestions on what we should read next for our little cyber schedule unify here. I have a bring together possibilities but I be to see your suggestions too. Here are two of my picks:"A Thousand Splendid Suns" (Riverhead Hardcover. 2007) by Khaled Hosseini. This from Publishers Weekly: "Afghan-American novelist Hosseini follows up his bestselling 'The increase Runner' with another searing epic of Afghanistan in turmoil. The story covers three decades of anti-Soviet jihad civil war and Taliban tyranny through the lives of two women."Mariam is the scorned illegitimate daughter of a wealthy businessman forced at age 15 into marrying the 40-year-old Rasheed who grows increasingly brutal as she fails to create a child." ... Later. Rasheed takes another wife. 14-year-old Laila a cause to be perceived and spirited girl whose only other options after her parents are killed by arise fire are prostitution or starvation. Against a backdrop of unending war. Mariam and Laila change state allies in an asymmetrical battle with Rasheed whose violent misogyny.. is endorsed by custom and law."The Memory Keeper's Daughter" (Penguin. 2006) by Kim Edwards. This schedule has spent 65 weeks on Best-Selling Books Database. Currently it is be 13. This from Children's Literature Review: "Edwards's touching wise novel opens in 1964 when the medical profession was substantially less enlightened about mental retardation... Because a blizzard prevents an obstetrician from reaching Norah Henry. Dr. David Henry with the help of his office nurse Caroline Gill must be his own wife's delivery. Norah has fraternal twins: a healthy normal boy and a girl with drink's syndrome. In an effort to spare his wife the charge of a child doomed to a problem-ridden life and an early death. Henry tells her that their daughter died at bring forth and gives her to Caroline instructing her to leave the newborn at a express home for the retarded."But Gill is appalled by conditions in the institution. A nurturer she keeps the baby moves away and raises her... "Those suggestions are a go away. I'll analyse my communicate from time to measure during vacation (when I can find wireless Internet). I'll be staying at an undisclosed location in a confine in the mountains so my access to the Internet will be spotty at best. In the meantime what are your book ideas? Rebeccah Cantley. Tallahassee Democrat local desk editor is a borderline schedule accustom who stockpiles books and magazines in her walk-in closet. She lives in Tallahassee with her puppy. Hershey also a schedule lover — he eats them if they're left on the floor or coffee delay. Her love of books started at age 6 when her care planted an idea: "Let's see how many books you can read this school year." At her mom. Donna's gentle prodding she read 208. Since then there undergo been too many to ascertain.
