This quote is so creepy but exactly what I need for my interactive clothing design project. It is the greatest description of trademark I have ever seen. Here is the full text. It is about trademarking the fragrance logo

The trademark of a company, symbolised by its logo, is a concentration of information that allows the product to be identified among other similar products often of similar quality. A trademark is a capital for a company because it eases communication between the company and the consumer. It gives the consumer faith in his choice, social status and personal satisfaction when using the product. The existence of a trademark allows the company to optimise its marketing budget, increase profit margins, put pressure on the distribution network, and gives it an advantage over it's competitors. The creation of a 'capital trademark' takes time and calls for serious investment but is more than justified by the advantages that it generates. A logo is the physical aspect of a brand name and expresses the values of the company and its image.

I waited at the corner of mainstreet and eastwood in front of canisius since 10:50. I stayed here till 11:30 in case you came back by on the way to see the city people. I hope it turns out good. Maybe I had the time mixed up?

I wrote this whole thing about kenmore [search]kenmore[/kenmore] and then turned my computer off before hitting publish. I guess it will have to wait, maybe any of the other kenmorons can start as I need to sleep so I can teach at 9:00 followed by a meeting, followed by work till like 7, followed by (e:mathews) birthday..

(e:shawnr) seems to mention LARP a lot and so I decided to look into it a little more. Seems as though there is one going on right here iin Buffalo. Check it out



I have made it a goal of mine to develop a cell phone based LARP in Buffalo. Maybe after the thesis is done iw ill get a change to complete it.

Valentino [search]valentino[/search] the baby tortoise really has an eye infection. At first I thought he was dry, gave him lots of baths, but now he itches his eyes like a human baby with pink eye. So I had to make an appointment for Saturday at 11:15 with Dr. Shadler atthe Sheridan Small Animal Hospital in Tonawanda.

I had been there before with a toroise of mine a long itme ago, and she was able to care for it really well. This was back in 1995. I hope Valentino quickly recovers. I hate to see him with his eyes shut all the time. It looks so sad, plus he has a hard time figuring out where to bit when he is eating. It is like raising a blind tortoise.
