Like this commercial I saw today for American Express. I completely agree with the message—while so many people are fearful during a down economy, the entrepreneurial spirit is still going strong… seeing even bad times as an opportunity for growth.

There’s nothing quite like Michigan in the fall. For those of you who’ve never been… I think these commercials sum it up pretty well. I’m really digging the Pure Michigan campaign right now. The images are stunning and the message it simple… makes me feel proud to be a Michigander! Check out more spots in the campaign on the next page!

The [IN]PLACE System by Peter Walsh (offered through OfficeMax) seems like it could be my answer. True, it’s nothing new: folders, tabs, binder clips, files… but they way in which they present it on their website is sheer marketing genius. A filing system has never looked so sexy! Plus you get to clear off a messy desk with just the click of a mouse… If only real life were so easy…
