Star Wars + Adidas + World Cup = Awesome

This is an awesome cross pollinated video that is just killer. (While I’m sure it’s the Star Wars Adidas line that makes it possible in the first place, it actually seems slightly cooler). The passion and insanity that the World Cup brings to everything is unparalleled. It’s going to be an awesome month, with lots of things [ READ MORE ]

iPad out in the Wild

Saw my 1st iPad out in the wild today, actually at the gym and I was surprised. Surprised by who this person was and why they bought it.  Since it was the first ‘normal’ person I’d seen with one, of course I had to ask, and of course they were excited to talk about it. I [ READ MORE ]

All your customer channels have to talk to each other

I’ve had Apple in the cross-hairs for a while now, and it’s time to stand down, but not without one more blast over the bow. I’ve got an old Mac Pro (those beautiful towers (but wicked heavy) from the office and was told it ‘couldn’t be put on a wireless network.’  A couple of months of [ READ MORE ]

3D – I’ll bring over my glasses

3D continues to be a hot topic on SOTB.  Why? Because it has all the right ingredients to be totally stuck. Until 3DTV’s don’t need glasses it’s just too much of a hassle to have your friends and family over. Here’s a great quote from the NY Times The glasses go for a premium — around $150 [ READ MORE ]

Denim Therapy – Simply Brilliant

If you’ve ever worn through your favorite pair of jeans and had to part ways because of the “damaged” relationship then you need therapy – Denim Therapy that is. It’s a brilliant concept that fills a huge need/gap/service in the consumer services space.  I actually used Denim Therapy recently to repair one of my favorite [ READ MORE ]

Blockbusted – Going from #1 to #0 (no offense Mr.Zero)

The illustrious Mr.Zero is on a much needed vacation so I’ll be picking up the slack this week with the usual SOTB rhetoric. I’ve been ranting about falls-from-grace lately and Blockbuster has just about committed suicide.  How do you go from being #1 to #0? Instead of going into the history of Blockbuster let’s just focus on [ READ MORE ]

3-D Doomsday

3-D has been an unexpected hot topic here at Stuck. Guess what, I (surprisingly) had avoided Target the past couple of days so I never got my 3-D Glasses so I could watch the Michael Jackson Tribute during the Grammy’s last night. Instead of a moving song, sung by some heavy hitting music super  stars (Carrie [ READ MORE ]

Gap Up to something good

The Gap said same store sales were up 2% in December, according to NPR this morning .   I’m going to go out on an unresearched limb and that’s pretty good for this 2009 Christmas season and that their ‘Give Get’ event was a success. If nothing, you have to give them the thumbs up for not [ READ MORE ]

Shopping for Sport

Another week, another set of killer deals just trying to pry cash from our pockets on the way to Seasonal bliss. This week, Ann Taylor has had in their store windows ‘40% Off Today only’ for an entire extended weekend.  Its always suspect when a store produces some really slick (read expensive) signage that says ‘Today [ READ MORE ]

Gilty as Charged

Who doesn’t love a good sale? And we’re as guilty as the next guy.  Gilt.com is awesome — its retail for sport. Its full contact shopping that survives on the premise of blasting out to your entire user base and telling them ‘In 15 minutes, get ready because IT IS ON!’ Its brilliant and yet at [ READ MORE ]
