Finally back on the (blog) horse. Please come back :)

This post is an apology to my readers….or, at this point, maybe only my drinking buddies who I high five in the airport and read my blog because they’re stuck in “chile’s” in Newark with a bad glass of wine….it happens way too often these days. but….

Just like Bill back in January, no this blog isn’t dead. I have a backlog of posts that likely aren’t even relevant this late in the game but I’m about to get back on the horse. I think I probably have 40 1/3 written posts which are irrelevant by the time I finally get back to them

Q1 seems to be the most dramatic in the OOH/media game for time sucking. Between predictions (which most smart folk avoid these days), the start of ad/media planning (in 2010…normally its done earlier) for an enormous amount of brands, prepping for DSE, launching new products (I swear, google alerts pumps out 300 new “entrants” and “media players” to the industry a day) and news on the other 30 events in Mar/Apr/May (Globalshop, Infocomm, Screen Expo, etc) I’m surprised we’re all able to even sell our wares, be they dreams, customers or hardware.

What I HAVE noticed and will start off this year with (3 months late, which is ok b/c the brands all said they weren’t spending until April 1 anyway) is good and bad.

I’ll try to detail some of this out over the next little bit.

Needless to say you should see me back on the horse a bit more as I get some of my time back
