Review: Petersen Automotive Museum

Automotive / Business / Customer Service / Reviews

**To Petersen Automotive Museum: If you do see this, do NOT respond to *ME* – respond to all of the people who try to come to the museum who have to park blocks away** On Wednesday, October 11, 2017 at about 11:15a, we got to the Petersen Automotive Museum – with our internet-purchased tickets in hand – but were turned away from the parking garage. On a WEDNESDAY at 11 am. How is that possible? Because the Petersen Automotive Museum doesn’t hold parking for patrons of the museum. …

BTTF Numeral GRAFIX

Watch Faces

The “BTTF Numeral GRAFIX” watch face is based on a promotional watch that was sold for the release of “Back to the Future Part II”.

It features the digital watch font, where the current hour is displayed around the face, and the current minute is in the center. The colors are taken right from screen-grabs of the time circuits in BTTF. The face is also pretty low power, with an OPR of just 2.3%.

Archer

Watch Faces

The “Archer” watch face was inspired by the opening sequence of the “Archer” TV show. The font on the watch face is the exact same font that’s used in the video intro for the show, and the hands are cleaned-up screen-grabs from the video as well. There’s nothing special about v01 of this watch face. Download “Archer – v01” here.

DeLorean Speedo

Watch Faces

The “DeLorean Speedo” watch face was inspired by the speedometer of the DeLorean dashboard. The numbers on the face are the same font as used on the DeLorean speedometer, and the hour & minute markers are the same shape and color of the mileage marks on the speedo.

MoviePass – Better Than a Gym Membership

Business / Technology / Websites

I love business. Especially small business. And I love to see ideas grow from a couple of people at a kitchen table, to something that goes viral. And I especially love seeing one type of business plan applied to something that looks completely different (but actually isn’t.) That’s MoviePass. MoviePass is a month-to-month membership site that (now,) lets you watch an ‘unlimited’ number of movies in the movie theater for the low monthly price of… $9.95. Yes – less than the price of a single ticket. With e-ticketing, …

Please Just Say "I Don’t Know"

Business / Customer Service

I suppose it’s human nature to want to look smarter than you really are. But when it comes to customer service, there’s nothing worse than having someone try to help you when they know less than you do. People often fall back to circular talking, trying to say the same thing in different ways, mainly because they don’t know the answer to the question – but they don’t want to concede that fact. Something I learned very well as a Guest Relations Host at Disneyland was that it’s …
