First, for those of you now wondering what the heck the Medoza Line is, here’s the short version. I come from the Mario Mendoza school, not Minnie Mendoza, as Mario was actually a major leaguer for nine years. Anyway, all it refers to is Mendoza’s consistently inept performance at the plate. His career batting average […]

I mentioned Dancing on bridges earlier tonight. This is one of my favorite posts, and, I think, my best explication of how weblogging works as art. Richard Riccelli is never less than stunning at anything he does, so it’s no surprise that he should write so well at his new weblog. Go see the man […]
We have a name, and we have the birth of a look: We went through zillions of ideas — Brian and Cathy and I, our contributors, some commenters here, but mainly marketing guru Richard Riccelli. Richard came up with fantastic names — not just words but their graphic expression — but we went off and […]
More from Richard Riccelli on ideas for Allen Butler’s business card: An object lesson in the art of the possible. (Yes, Chuchundra, you are of course right**), since Vettriano’s licensing fees are likely to be a bit dear on a Realtor’s business card budget, let’s quickly explore what can be accomplished with an art budget […]
This is a Richard Riccelli idea: Let’s talk business cards in depth. I have built a form that you can use to upload an image of your business card. The form also asks you for your thoughts on your card. Use that space to explain your objectives for your card and how you went about […]
During all my running around today, I had meant to buy a silly little party hat for Odysseus to wear to celebrate BloodhoundBlog’s first birthday… but I never got around to it. And by the time I had picked up Ophelia from doggy-day-care, I’d missed my opportunity… can’t leave a dog in a 110&176; car. […]

Right at this moment we have a Technorati authority of 526, with 4,443 links from other weblogs. Yahoo is showing us with 36,243 total […]
At today’s World Wide Developer Conference, Apple CEO Steve Jobs announced the availability of a public beta version of Safari 3 for both the Macintosh and Windows. Apple’s goal is to increase Safari’s already-respectable market share, probably to induce more Windows users to switch to the Macintosh. Importantly, Safari 3 successfully runs Zillow.com’s main web […]
Richard Riccelli fingered this New York Times article on real estate photography and related technologies (it’s behind a registration wall to make sure you know they don’t get it). Evidently, Richard had been impressed enough with my ideas about real estate photography to impress them upon the professional advertising photographer he hired to shoot his […]
The comparison of the life of man to a race, though it holdeth not in every point, yet it holdeth so well for this our purpose, that we may thereby both see and remember almost all the passions before mentioned. But this race we must suppose to have no other goal, nor other garland, but […]
Richard Riccelli and I were talking today about the power of the back-story to sell historic and architecturally unique homes. Here are two car stories to make the point: From Ubertor, Re/MAX founder Dave Liniger buys a $1,000,000 Hummer From The Garage Blog, Carroll Shelby’s personal Cobra Supersnake sold for $5,000,000 In both cases, what […]
BloodhoundBlog is six month’s old today. The first post, an accidental prophesy, was about the incipient disintermediation of for-pay content providers in the age of the internet: If almost-as-good is free or nearly free, what is the market value of slightly-better? I documented the birth of the blog soon thereafter, but it’s reasonable to argue […]
…is up at Seattle Real Estate Professionals. Moderator Marlow Harris presents awards in three categories. BloodhoundBlog is a Carnival unto its own. Here are eleven entries from the last week that I thought were exemplary: Russell Shaw: Thank You, Mr. Barton, May I Have Another? Kris Berg: When It Clicks Cathleen Collins: Punch and Pie […]
Paging Doctor Tufte. Richard Riccelli snagged this from Three Oceans Real Estate, but he’s too busy posting his FSBOs on Zillow to write it up… Technorati Tags: real estate marketing
…is up at The Property Monger. Host Jon Ernest celebrates the Carnival’s twenty-first-iversary by awarding 21 winners, split across two days. Grand prize goes to Northern Michigan Real Estate Blog with an argument about last week’s NAR anti-trust ruling. We entered Russell Shaw’s essay on The Millionaire Real Estate Agent, but we’ll have to wait […]
