Chris Brown vs DJ Khaled: Who Was Really Behind The Wheel Of The White Bentely?

admin — Tue, 10 Feb 2009 22:10:39 +0000

When the second white vehicle police chase in Los Angeles was first covered, it was Chris Brown who was allegedly the driver behind the (slow speed) chase then it was announced that it was Miami based rapper, DJ Khaled, who you may recall from Terror Squad. According to the Los Angeles Times (which appears to be the most updated at this point), whoever the driver was, he shot himself and the status of the injury is still waiting to be confirmed.

TheCarConnection.com Covers The 2008 Honda Civic Sedan

admin — Sun, 18 Jan 2009 22:07:16 +0000

Thanks to the team at The Car Connection, Honda shoppers can ride off of the automobile lot in confidence, knowing that their fresh new whip is certainly up to par for whatever the vast road that lies ahead may have to offer, regardless of the lack of everyone’s like for the interior along with the windshield look and overall vehicle appearance.

With an expert analysis of the 2008 Honda Civic Sedan, The Car Connection reveals the gas-powered, 140-horsepower Honda Civic with the 1.8-liter four-cylinder engine to be available as either a (standard) gas-powered model, a gas-electric Hybrid edition model or a natural-gas-powered GX model. Furthermore, it is worthy to note that the GX edition, utilizing natural gas for power, was explained to receive the gasoline equivalent of 24 mpg in the city and 36 mpg on the highway (and, I can’t neglect to mention that natural gas costs 1/3 less than normal gas).

In addition, The Car Connection discusses reviews of the ‘08 Honda Civic Sedan received by car specialists like Kelley Blue Book, Cars.com and Autoblog, explaining that not everyone was, for lack of better words, on the same page with opinions on this model. Some common areas for lack of a consensus include the large windshield, the mini-van look/feel of the front bumper and the interior dashboard. Sure, not everyone has to like it and, quite frankly, it seems as though not everyone does like it but, you are free to make your own judgment. What’s it going to be?

Bank of America Has Got The Highest APY On The Block These Days

admin — Sat, 26 Jul 2008 03:44:57 +0000

It’s time again to cross our fingers as we scour the banks for the highest APY on those short term CD’s. When we last huddled up around the checkbook for some banking talk regarding high yield CD rates, Countrywide was leading the pack with the Highest APY for those 6 month CD’s. Well, Countrywide ain’t got **** on the rates this go round! In fact, Country Wide is sitting below the top rankings with a (stingy) 3.30% APY on their 6 month CD’s. Bank of America, however, is giving graciously at the moment with a 4.11% APY on their 7 month term certificates of deposit.

Not too many points off from the 4.30% annual percentage rate that was floating around about 6 months ago but, still, not as pretty as things once were. Nevertheless, BoA is paying the most these days (when you invest a minimum of $5K) with H&R Block lagging somewhat closely behind offering 3.75% on a minimum of $10K for their 6 month CD (or as their creative messaging now reads, 180 day CD). For now, I’ll leave the math to you; keep stacking and stay tuned to Scott Schroeder for more high yield CD coverage as well as ways to stay ahead while bank rates continue to plummet.

Working at Wingman Media vs Working at Zappos

admin — Thu, 24 Jul 2008 03:33:47 +0000

It has been approximately 90 days since I retreated from the Vegas desert to the Venice beach and started working at Wingman Media. Being a marketing agency (and not an online e-commerce site like Zappos.com), Wingman Media offers a totally different working experience than Zappos, to say the least. With Wingman, I simultaneously set up and manage multiple interactive campaigns for various clients whereas with Zappos, I was focused on affiliate and search engine marketing (SEM) for Zappos and only Zappos.

In addition, with Wingman, I am learning an infinite amount of information regarding popular marketing efforts while managing relationships with vendors (i.e. designers, programmers and writers) and coordinating production so as to meet deadlines accordingly. Of course, with Zappos, I was able to learn some priceless knowledge pertaining to branding, e-commerce and comparison shopping engines while conducting business with multiple partners (affiliates and CSE account managers) as well as reporting and optimizing on affiliate and SEM campaigns.

With regards to corporate culture and/or office environment, Wingman Media with it’s 30-40 employees is minuscule compared to Zappos with it’s 1200+ employees at the Henderson office alone (there are also a couple hundred employees at the Zappos.com warehouse in Kentucky) so, you could imagine how the size of the offices would vary greatly. The Wingman office is two stories with 2 conference rooms, 3 single bathrooms, a ping-pong table and a compact kitchen area with a fridge, a sink, a microwave, some counter-top space and a water dispenser.

The Zappos office consists of 2 buildings, one of which is 2-story; 8 multi-person bathrooms; about 12 or so meeting rooms; a help desk area with bookcases (containing different books for your free reading pleasure), a popcorn machine, a dance dance revolution machine and a cold beverage case filled with drinks; a room with a king’s thrown along with the appropriate king/queen head pieces and, last, but not least, a humongous break room containing free food and drinks (Monday/Wednesday/Friday are sandwich days where you make your own sandwich and Tuesday/Thursday/Saturday are catered days where Zappos orders out something different).

Furthermore, at Wingman, we have marketers (traditional/offline as well as interactive/online), media buyers, account executives, sales persons, a small accounting team and our two founders, Rich Kagan and Steve Dubane. At Zappos, there is a marketing department, an accounting department, a merchandising department, a creative services department (with designers, developers and bloggers), a training department, a legal department, an HR department, a customer service department, a resources department, a project management team and a help desk team in addition to CEO Tony Hsieh, CFO/COO Alfred Lin and life coach Dr David Vik.

And so far, at Wingman, we have not had anything quite like the festivities that I encountered regularly at Zappos. For instance, there are parades at Zappos where employees team up, dress a certain way and “parade” around the office(s) making noise and often throwing trinkets and candies and such. Also, I can’t forget to mention the Zappos cook-offs, potlucks, team outings, fashion shows, vendor parties, merchandise parties, Christmas parties, CLT graduations and, of course, frequent happy hours.

As you can imagine, two totally different companies, two totally different environments and two totally different workloads – both having their own positives and negatives, goals and objectives and, both hiring! For jobs in Los Angeles at Wingman Media, feel free to contact me directly via my contact page and I will follow up with you to discuss our current openings.
