How’d you spend your Saturday morning?
Because here’s how I spent mine…
Now, the number of reasons to read Gawker drops to… Zero
Good luck, Ms. Coen, in your new position as Deputy Editor at VanityFair.com.
Of course, it raises a few questions…
1) Why was the news released after-hours on a Thursday evening before the Yom Kippur Weekend kicked off?
2) Why was there no reciprocal announcement from Vanity Fair?
3) Why has no replacement been named? Previously, […]
A Skype Convert
Always thought of Skype as a sort of cool thing, that I’d use for fun.
This morning, though, I had a conference call with London, New York, and Tokyo, all on one line, all through my computer. I’m a convert.
My user name: geekfactory (duh.) Skype me.
Friday Poll…
Am I weird because I enjoy snacking on Habanero Peppers? Not with anything, not mixed in a salad, just a bag of them by my desk, where I can grab one and bite off bits and pieces.

So rather than pull the link down completely, I simply […]
Catch me on the O’Reilly Factor tonight
All:
Will be on the O’Reilly Factor on Fox News tonight talking about how Paris Hilton is quite possibly the most brilliant marketing person on the planet. 8pm, Fox News Channel. It REALLY irks me that despite my best efforts not to, I find myself actually LIKING the video below. Damn it.
Happy Thursday.
Google’s Holiday Logos
Google has posted their 2007 Holiday logos.
Cool stuff, as always. Big fan of Mozart’s Birthday:
Memo: “Launching a Jihad” on Auto Prices: Never OK.
A car dealership in Columbus, OH, is causing a bit of a controversy with ads that proclaim that they’re "launching a Jihad" on car prices, and "one car can comfortably seat 12 jihadists in the back."
"Out there" PR, good. Insulting religions and trying to sell cars based on thousands of innocents dead on both sides? […]
