What is marketing? (I’m not sure why I’m blogging about this.)
If I may don my old marketing blogger hat for a moment, this struck me as interesting:
According to Press On, the customer newsletter of Edwards Graphic Arts, “(The) American Marketing Asssociation reviews and, when appropriate, redefines ‘marketing’ every five years. Its recently-published revised definition: ‘Marketing is an organizational function and a set of processes for [...]

Finding more Iowa and Des Moines blogs and bloggers: the I List, IowaBlogs.net
A few items worth mentioning if you are looking for more Iowa-based blogs to read:
There’s been a list circulating of Iowa Bloggers called “The I-List.” It originated over on Drew McLellan’s marketing blog, and I’ve been wanting to find a way to share it with you, but as different bloggers talk about it on their [...]
DMweblife merchandise now available
Okay, some time ago I created a little online store over at Cafepress using the DMweblife logo. I then purchased the “value t-shirt” to test out the quality, and I’m pleased to report that the shirt still looks good after about six months of wearing and washing.

“Captain of My Heart” celebrates faith, conjures 70’s pop favorites
Recently in my day job, I happened to meet Tim Cooper, the A-V guru for the Iowa Events Center. Tim mentioned he was a musician with a page on MySpace. I clicked through, and turns out Tim writes, performs and produces original praise-and-worship music.
Now I am vaguely aware that today’s Christian music sounds a lot different from [...]
When Hillary says “mandatory,” she means it
I have said it before and will say it again: If leadership under Hillary Clinton doesn’t scare you, it should.
