The Measure of Things is a tool to help you understand physical quantites in terms of things you (or your audience, or your readers) are already familiar with. Need a metaphor to emphasize a written measurement? Try including a comparison to the size of a whale, or the height of the Empire State Building, or the area of a tennis court. Need to understand how big a metric or English unit really is? Try comparing it to real, tangible objects.167weinreichThis IKEA crib ad that is also a pregnancy test.

No matter how much you try, you can’t stop people from sticking beans up their nose...
Time and time again, I come across situations where I think, “OMG! They are trying to stick beans up their nose!” It explains what’s happening and what I should do next.
The only thing I can do in a beans-and-noses situation (notice my clever use of flight-attendant grammar forms?) is wait. Wait until the bean is in its final resting place. Then, with a calmness only seen in yoga instructors, I can turn to the nose owner and ask, “So, how is that working for you? Did it do everything you’d hoped?”
Of course, if they answer they enjoyed it and it was wonderful, then they are not someone I can relate to or help in any way.
However, if sticking a bean deep into their nostril doesn’t meet the very high expectations they’d had, I can now start talking alternative approaches to reaching those expectations.167weinreichPOSTERSCOPE: Selling empty spaces. | STUFF FROM THE LOFT.2515542019-05-13T18:23:12ZZ167weinreichThe Register: The Home of the Mighty BOFH2467462019-05-03T18:16:56ZZ506jeffreydbrowngmail.comCPIP Protocol http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc1149.txt?number=11492467442019-05-03T18:16:56ZZ506jeffreydbrowngmail.comA Day's Messages by GinaD2439842019-03-27T21:34:36ZZA day in the life of Chris Larabee's answering machine.

There is power in purpose-driven brands. And yet, when every piece of marketing attempts to communicate some kind of social purpose, social purpose can start to lose its meaning, particularly when purpose is left to the agency.Sometimes we marketers can climb so far up the brand ladder from functional benefits to emotional benefits to social benefits, we can lose touch with why people are buying our products in the first place.167weinreichThe Brief But Heroic Saga of Ezra & Elijah Standish by The Cohorts2414902019-02-05T00:07:59Z2019-02-17T17:52:47ZVin must masquerade as Ezra's cousin.430BethBynnagA Cartoon from The New Yorker2340732019-01-29T11:19:06ZZData viz - "I'll pause for a moment so you can let this information sink in."167weinreich
