Yes, today is St. Patrick’s Day. It is also the day that, in a humorous bent, many people refer to each other as Irish-Americans in the U.S., as an inclusive way to harmonize with other festivity-goers for the holiday.
For me, however, it holds a deeper significance, since it reminds me of why I participate as [...]

March 17 is the observance of this Irish holiday, which has transformed to a worldwide secular marketing and merchandising day but which originally began as a Catholic holiday commemorating the life and death of Saint Patrick, one of the patron saints of Ireland.
Although Saint Patrick was not Irish (he was [...]

As many of you have probably seen, McDonald’s [MCD] has run a new series of commercials detailing the extension of their wildly successful 99¢ Filet-o-Fish promotion until March 28, 2010.
This is in the midst of several other recent McDonald’s initiatives touting their refreshed Morning Dollar Menu. Kudos to McDonald’s for catering to their audience.
Now the [...]

Wow! Several McDonald’s [MCD] outlets have extended the fantabulous 99¢ Filet-o-Fish promotion, at least until the franchise management has had enough of it, or until supplies run out.
Quite a surprise, but perhaps a minor one: McDonald’s recently announced decent profits, based upon their feedback and sales on their new $1 Breakfast Menu, which builds upon [...]

Just when you thought it would never come again, since the last promotion of its type was at the much higher $1.19 price point…

Oh, all right, so maybe it’s not really a poem you’re reading now… Deal with it.
And speaking of coping: dealing with the repercussions of the Mega-Snowstorm of (February) 2010 seems to be quite a struggle for the majority of the Washington, DC region.

Countdown to Mega Blizzard of 2010

It seems that, unlike the previous Mega Blizzard of 2009 (or, to be more precise, Mega Blizzard of December 2009), this upcoming one has more people in a greater frenzy than before. This may be due to the greater emphasis on reporting it, and the noted severity.

Ouch! That smarts!
Verizon [VZ] has now gotten two of  Palm’s [PALM] flagship devices that Sprint [S] has been touting, although some may say unsuccessfully due to the odd way that software developers and consumers have been treated– or at least very mixed– there’s that new question as to how Verizon will position these [...]

Maybe this ought to be called “the FUD Edition”, Part II… After one year, remember the first FUD Edition?
As we count down the minutes to the start of 2010, let’s review some of the things that have captivated us (for lack of a better term) over the course of 2009:
