“K” is King in Brand and Company Naming

Waxing UnLyrical

Guest post by Donna Vincent Roa. The power of the letter “K” has always fascinated me. In college, one of my favorite adjectives was “kafkaesque,” a word with three “K” sounds. The first time I heard this word, it resonated with me, and I wanted to say it again and again.

Waxing UnLyrical

Guest post by Ken Mueller. A bee in my bonnet. Often when my wife and I are taking our dog, Shadow, for a walk, we go past a house in our neighborhood that has grabbed my attention.

This Fall the University at which I work hosted a career fair, cramming booth-after-booth of employers looking for new recruits into the main gymnasium. It was a great opportunity for students to explore their options and a fun way for Kate (my colleague) and I to see how some organizations are using QR Codes.

Waxing UnLyrical

Guest post by Rachael Seda. I’m drinking the Port City Brewery kool-aid (or beer, rather) and I wish other small businesses would give me the same buzz.

Luckily for me it happens to be a hop, skip and jump from where I live, so a few friends and I decided to check it out.
