Whatever you believe in… Whatever you celebrate… A Charlie Brown Christmas should be required watching, every single year. Tonight, ABC, 8pm. Thanks Paige for the tip!

RepVine has launched a new v2 of their site – Looks pretty good.  Let’s you post your reputation online, based on how other people review you, and how other people review them. Interesting concept. Site is much cleaner and easier to use now, as well. V2′s are good things. They’re gonna suffer from the same initial hell that AirTroductions suffers from – i.e., membership needs to dramatically grow to make it worthwhile – but like AirTroductions, they seem to be going about it the right way. A few cool things I found from them: for dating: (not 100% work-safe) for job seekers: for freelancers: What I really like about it more than anything is that it’s a controlled environment. It’s [...]

I actually wrote a book. And it was actually published! And it actually exists! And this morning, I actually held it in my hands! And if you really love me, you can buy it on Amazon here. Makes for a great Christmas gift!! You know, for all those publicists you buy for. (?!) It’s kind of a cool feeling, you know? I feel… I dunno… Proud. :)

As we sit down to eat and feast with our families and friends, may we all take a second to be thankful for what we have, and to offer a small prayer for those who might be needing this Thanksgiving day. And for what it’s worth, can you tell me why I have XM Satellite Radio in my Maxima, if on THANKSGIVING DAY, I can go through EVERY CHANNEL for the HOUR AND A HALF I was in traffic, and not find ONE VERSION of "Alice’s Restaurant" on ANY channel? IT’S THANKSGIVING, FOR CHRISSAKES!!! Remember – "Burn Off The Bird" run, tomorrow morning, 10am, Engineer’s Gate of Central Park, 90th St. and 5th Avenue. Come burn off the calories you’re [...]

This is a new one. The subject of the email was: "I DON’T HAVE YOUR NUMBER." Not recognizing the address, my first thought was a client or meeting that I have, someone needs to get in touch with me. I open it up – it’s a PITCH FOR A GAME COMPANY AT CES!! Are you freaking KIDDING ME? This SO needs to be outed, smacked around, and left by the gutter to die. This is gross. This is bait and switch. Who is going to make an appointment with this person? If I were this person’s client – I’d be LIVID. "I don’t have your number?!?" You’ve got to be kidding me. Full text below. Shun this person. Hope all [...]
