Mark My Words

Breaking news and opinions from MousePlanet writer, editor and podcaster Mark Goldhaber.

  1. MGM, Hollywood. Whatever.

    OK, so in today's Park Update I noted that the sign changeover at the Studios theme park is still in progress, including a number of photos from Steve Russo showing some things that have and have not been changed over. But the egg was on my face.

    You see, we hadn't made much of a change here, either. In fact, we really had made barely any changes at all. Just the Entertainment and Park Hours schedule, to be exact. The Refurbishments section of the Park Update? MGM. The main ...

  2. Who's it going to be? Not me.

    Well, I've officially given up on trying to enter the Dream CMO contest. I know that I said in a prior post that I was going to use it as a way to try to recapture the magical feeling of Disney, but real life kind of got in the way.

    It's not that I didn't come up with a great idea for the video. (I had a good script written, with an idea for the accompanying visuals.) It's not that I didn't want to do the job. I still think that it would be cool to work for Disney, and this was ...
  3. Where does the time go?

    Geez, has it been over a week since my last blog post? I was going to keep this thing updated several times a week.

    The problem here is that, for the last week or so, I've been actively trying to have some semblance of a life. Between writing the Park Updates; writing, recording, and publishing the podcast and show notes; creating random other features (see Friday's Animal Kingdom Villas photo tour) and various and sundry other MousePlanet stuff -- not to mention The Job That Pays ...
  4. The "design your own promotion" promotion

    I was talking with John Van Meter from Owner's Locker about doing another promotion on the podcast. We got to discussing what might be a promotion that would get people on the fence to decide to give Owner's Locker a try. (And it is a try, since if you're not satisfied you can get your money back.)

    John told me that they have done promotions for $10 off the membership fee and for a free Brita water pitcher, but that he wasn't sure whether those were working as well as they could. ...
  5. Yet another late night

    So here I am, at 2:30 a.m., waiting for the podcast file to upload from Steven, our audio engineer and sound editor. Once it's up, I can download it, make some minor changes, make final adjustments to control files and then upload and publish the podcast and the front page for the site.

    I've got a 9:30 a.m. meeting with another state agency, and I have to try to be sharp for it. This is one of those nights that it sucks to be doing the podcast.

    Hey, the file's done ...
