And you don’t even know me that well either … 
Be on the lookout for a short digi paper to that will represent landmark portraying the Merchant of New York City. It will be prominently displayed and avoid repetitive and wordy blogging where there lacks a proper market for word readers. In place of these old sorts of posts, look for newer, leaner, more “fun-fact” Embassy ciphers. Finally, you’ll find some well placed banners and links for reasonably selected brands such as CurationSoft.com … and some other stuff flying around that you will have no trouble passively focusing on.

Back at the helm …
Yesterday ended a 7 day debrief at the Embassy in NYC from the last 75 days of 2011.

We’d make them deliciously attractive with a little culinary magic. Yea, and instead of charging more for the magic, we charge less and make up for it with the volume of consumers. That’s when it hit me. Continue reading
Salaams
Another special broadcast, a “what a Merchant says” moment, sponsored in part by the mighty Mos Def from the Embassy to the World Market in 2012. The Merchant has it on good word, it should be a good year for Imagination industries. As for me, I’m just going to go ahead and pretend we haven’t met before. A salaam …

All these companies and people are showing up in the most expensive areas in New York. Who’s working there?
