Proud to say I wasn’t included.

RIP Jack Kilby
A number of us work in the careers we do, with the clients we do, because of the contributions of this man.
Thanks to Trevor for the info.
He’s my best friend.
Watching Channel 4 (NBC New York) cover a helicopter crash (2nd one in a week) on the East River. The reporter is Andrew Torres - My best friend since High School.
It’s so amazingly cool to hear this kid - hell, this adult, I’m his best man coming up in October… to hear him on […]
Got a Mastercard? You’re screwed
Mastercard has begun warning people about a security breach that could put up to 40 million of their cardholders at risk for identity theft and fraud.
WHAT THE HELL IS WRONG WITH THESE COMPANIES?!? How hard is it to SAFEGUARD OUR PRIVATE DATA?!?

I can’t stand broken promises- if […]

God Help Us All: Tom/Katie Engaged?

Media Query: Executives and the new Harry Potter
Got a reporter query… If you know someone, let me know and I’ll pass it along to her.
