In a brilliant pair of videos, , Prof. James Duane of the Regent University School of Law and Officer George Bruch of the Virginia Beach Police Department present a forceful case for never, ever, ever speaking to the police without your lawyer present. Ever. Never, never, never. It's a long commitment -- 45 minutes to watch them both -- but boy is it worth it. Might save you 5-10 some day, too. Eight reasons even ...

Long videos (45 min) but reeaaally interesting. Lawyer tells why to NEVER talk to Cops, even if innocent, then a Cop gives advice on how to avoid interrogation strategies that he uses. Crazy. Very educational.

I recently tried a new technique for a client who send predominantly full image emails. With many email clients blocking images by default, it is more important than ever to use Alt Tags and HTML elements to get the subscriber to unblock those images and view your email in all it's glory. HUF, a hip chain of skate culture shoe stores in SF & LA, has a pretty hip and fun audience, so I took ...

I am a big fan of preference centers... when they are actually used. This example from Nordstroms is one that pains me as I had removed myself from their lists a few years back due to getting emails only for women. The fact that is killing me is that they have a profile management center where I selected ONLY men's clothing emails. And still every other day I get emails selling women's targeted items. This ...

Tobias Wong's "Killer Engagement Ring" is a sturdy diamond ring whose point faces out, turning it into a potentially lethal weapon. The diamond sharp edge will also cut skin down to the bone (with a minimum 1 karat stone - but the larger the better). Or it may simply be used to tag hard surfaces, like cars and windows for S.O.S. messages or that last will and estimate when pen or paper (or lawyers) aren’t ...

The Gmail landscape is changing. But that’s hardly news because we’ve been using a beta version for years now. What is news is that there are four different versions of Gmail to consider when designing/developing an HTML email. If the four versions varied in simply GUI design or experience design there would be little to tell. However, as we discovered each version has its own way of handling HTML and CSS. First we’ll share the ...

A quick tour through the bulk-email or postmaster pages at major ISPs and email providers shows that they have moved beyond technical requirements to specify procedures such as getting explicit permission before sending email, sender authentication and list hygiene. This confirms that for U.S. senders, just meeting CAN-SPAM regulations for commercial email, such as a working unsubscribe, a street address, and permanent removal within 10 days, is no longer enough. In this article, Loren McDonald ...
