The Vikings' dumb decision to let QB Sam Darnold walk, and the Titans' dumb decision to fire Head Coach Mike Vrabel, both look even dumber now that Darnold's Seahawks and Vrabel's Patriots are in the Super Bowl.

Weather forecasts this winter have been wildly inaccurate as usual (e.g., we got predictions of 1-2" last Friday and Saturday when we got 5" both days). This recent forecast basically says, "We have no idea."

This is surprising, as the voice assistant features for #Gemini never work correctly. "Apple picks Google's Gemini to run AI-powered #Siri coming this year" www.cnbc.com/2026/01/12/a...

I don't get the strategy for #AmericanExpress. I applied and qualified for the #AmExPlatinum card 4 times, but each time they lowballed me on the bonus points w/ 80,000 instead of 175,000. I eventually gave up and applied for #ChaseSapphireReserve and got the max bonus points.

It can't always be helped, but reporters and copy editors must try to avoid triple-negatives in stories. Examples: "effort to override ... vetoes appears to fail" and "lawmakers overturned the ... veto and enacted a law banning." So does the original law stand or not?

My firm manages the promos for the Madison St. Patrick's Day parade. I remember 5 years ago, in the days leading up it, we were deciding w/ the committee whether to continue the parade as-is, modify it or cancel it. Everything was fluid in the days before the stay-at-home orders.

The #hospitality landscape is changing fast. At the Wisconsin Food & Hospitality Expo on Wednesday, I'll be leading a panel to discuss marketing. Registration is still open--make sure to get your badge.

The louder someone's ringtone is, the more likely they are to 1) forget to silence their phone before a performance, presentation, etc. and 2) be unable to silence their phone when it rings at an inappropriate time.
