Customer service: Two case studies
Tuesday, May 6th, 2008Two recent experiences I’ve had with customer service:
1. Woot.com had a fake Wootoff on April Fool’s Day. Interspersed with the mundane battery sales were bags of Random Crap. For Woot neophytes, the Random Crap is like a holy grail: usually it really is crap, but some lucky folks get jackpots like Wiis, Xbox [...]

Frank Gehry (he was on The Simpsons as well as in a Metafilter post.
Tidbits
Saturday, February 23rd, 2008I ran into people talking about gutta percha three times in the last week. I’d never heard of it before.

I also submitted a paper about Disney’s parks and how they relate to Fisher’s Narrative Theory for presentation at SOURCE, my school’s annual conference, and it [...]
