I started up my tablet this morning and was greeted by “Lenovo – For Those Who Work” on the splash screen. Ok, not a bad motto, but on my tablet, which I use to watch many Netflix videos, it seemed a bit contrived and restricting. Nike’s “Just Do It” seems to be a near-perfect motto […]
The other day my 10-year-old daughter asked me what a “bait and switch” is. I told her it is when you are led to believe you would receive one thing and at the end, you might receive something of lesser quality or value. It’s trickery, I told her. At Kona Impact, we never want our […]
