I seem to recall noticing some Caps ads in the period when, I think, Trahan was doing your work, and I could see the humor they were going for, and felt like giving it a try myself. It was a fun exercise. I definitely think there are avid hockey fans out there who don't yet realize they are. ; ) http://www.ntgr8.net/?page_id=26 Scroll down to the series second from the bottom. They should be good for a smile. Also, I’ve been meaning to share the following with you for around a decade.

I guess the thing to do would be to go back to when the bubble burst and see if there was the same pattern of spikes and falls. I remember during the first long web-based growth period, posting to the Netpreneur list-serve that it didn't make sense that all these new companies could hire direct marketing experts away from print-based marketers at several times their former salaries...because it was just a new medium...the overall value of goods sold hadn't expanded...and something would have to give. Then I think a Wharton MBA wrote me to explain that it was, in so many words, a speculative economy. It was about perception, not reality. So I think the spikes come from people assuming they're picking up a bargain, though history would suggest they should wait, let the top-heavy firms contract and the value of the circulating currency get a lot closer to the real value of goods and service, and then start to refuel the cycle when we're more clearly down to glowing coals.

The Australian dollar is slowly slowly clawing it's way back. I hope so too! The Australian dollar is slowly slowly clawing it’s way back.
