Web designers, I’m offering a color-picker tool today. It’s linked over on the sidebar for easy reference if you want to use it later. Web designers can add this to their site for their clients. If a client finds a color palette desirable for their web site, the three RGB numbers can be used to [...]
It amazes me how often people search for themselves by name on the Internet. Are these people paranoid? Scared? Guilty? Server logs and tracking scripts give such insight to the psychology of web surfers- from what they search for, what interests them, where they work to their actual internet usage – it’s all so fascinating. [...]
This is a great vid from Darren Rowse. He asks some great questions that I really had to think about. Click To Play After listening to Darren, I considered all of it. Hmm…. what do I get out of this blog? As ProBlogger is about “making money from blogging” this site is not that, I [...]
Rick Barber is a radio host and airs in Denver in the middle of the night. Beside the other show that caters to UFO stories and the paranormal at that time, Rick caters to self-anointed intellectuals, and has a couple of co-hosts (regular callers). One of the co-hosts is great, you can hear a door [...]
In case I didn’t mention it in the Sarasota MLS, Helen Sosso is the President of the Sarasota Association of Realtors for 2008. So, read about the Sarasota MLS and know in full context who Helen Sosso is. I’ve added her title to the article;) Oh, I realize her name is now in my url [...]
Every SEO regurgitates the phrase “Content is King” but I think the claim needs revaluation. Search engine gurus have spouted the phrase for quite a while, but have you noticed just how many sites are ranking with very little, or scraped content? Makes you want to figure out what’s causing the rank, and you realize [...]
The coveted “double listing” or “indents” on a Google SERP is not an accident or just plain luck. Site architecture and link strategies working in concert is what will reward you with a double listing. More importantly it will generate more visits to your site – that means more money! But why stop there? Niche [...]
Well, it is uber cool. Maybe you got a head cold. Maybe you just didn’t feel like talking much – I dunno. I’m going to sleep on trying to figure out what the dolls in this video represented…:) Night!
So, I’m building a site about Shiba Inus. (those are dogs) I have a shiba, great dog. His tail really is his signature. I AM NOT an artist, but my friend is. So, naturally I asked him to draw a picture of a Shiba Inu and to get that signature tail in it. Here’s My [...]
What a great day! A major competitor of a client of mine has panicked. Don’t get me wrong, I really respect this company, and they’ve been a worthy adversary for a time. They must have thought the same of my client because they have completely rewritten their website. Yes the site is beautiful. Yes the [...]
Many of “my kind” work at night. The reasons are many. I’m pretty lucky though for we have a couple 24 hour Starbucks in town. Yes, I need to hit the highway to get there, and that’s fun when I grab the right keys. Tonight it was not fun. This picture is AFTER I put [...]
I can understand the thought process. A company holds a meeting and it’s decided that they want/need a website. They shop around, gather bids and ultimately write a huge check to some firm or somebody for a state-of-the-art website with so many bells and whistles that it would make Cpt. Kirk envious. This company has [...]

WP Cumulus Flash tag cloud by Roy Tanck and Luke Morton requires Flash Player 9 or better.
Sounds like ball-phobia to me.
I think it’s smart. Lamborghini sells to titans of industry–not docs or lawyers. People who purchase them are typically rich dudes, masters of their niche. The bull is a force, a machine, a challange. Lamborghini owners like the “challenge” that the bull signifies.
Would it be more “straight” and less gay to have a frog as the logo. How about a bird. We all know how hard it is to harness birds–and there are no balls to make anyone uncomfortable.
I completely see both points. Though, Patrick, your response is well thought out, I have to say Chris is just freakin’ funny.
I also like the question, “Ready to ride.”
Every good salesman who sells widgets knows it’s always good to get the customer to HOLD the object. It creates a sense of already owning it. For a WEBSITE, clicking on YES makes one feel committed to the object–that’s how humans work. It’s like thousands of years of wisdom wrapped up at the wedding moment when a bride says, “I do.”
You’re committed. Who’s going to click on NO??!! Anyone who goes to the site is going to click on YES. It’s actually brilliant. It forces everyone to say “I do.”
Why do I care about this….
Hey Knox, I found your blog while searching for Twitter news. It took me to a post you made last year. Just wanted to say that I spent the last 20 minutes reading your blog and have really enjoyed it.
And as Lamborghini goes, they know who thier market is and do a great job of advertising to it.
Thanks for sharing that ad, it was hilarious!
