Walking through the hall today, and I run into Dick Debartolo, known as Mad Magazine’s Maddest Writer. Really decent guy, I’d met him through my best friend Andrew Torres, several years ago. Good to see him again. (Hey Scott, we’re both fans of your vest, by the way.)
In other news, thanks to Gawker for the […]
Only one thought went through my head as I got back to my hotel room after spending the day on the show floor, in meetings, and getting 50,000 volts jolted through my body, and that thought was, "GET A DRINK."
My night was supposed to start off by Tunnel Flying with Nicole Sheridan and her Husband, […]
Forgive the weird compression. It’s an AVI, and You-tube made it into an Mpeg. I’m trying to figure out how to fix it.
Also, an hour later, I’m no longer shaking.
The things we do for fun at CES.
Strippers? Boring. Hookers and Alcohol? Nah, too plebian.
I got it: LET’S GET TASERED!!
Added to my list of things I’ve done in my life:
I’ve been Tasered.
And HOLY CRAP, IT HURT.
It really, really, really hurt. 50,000 volts running through your legs will do that, I suppose.
Taser was demo’ing their new […]
I bought AAPL last month. I’m just sayin’. Of course, this is like, the second time EVER that I’ve called a good stock, so I’m not all that and a bag of chips.
Speaking of chips… Able Planet has a pair of noise cancelling headphones that I tried today. They were better than the Bose 3’s, […]
Wouldn’t be the first night of CES if I didn’t wake up the second morning with a headache. I always love the logic. Take a bunch of people, all of whom have had no sleep from travel and very little sleep the day of, and throw them into several parties, all with free (and plentiful) […]
Landed after a two hour delay. (7+ hours in the air.)
Cab line looked like this:
Shouted at the top of my lungs: "WHO’S GOING TO THE ALLADIN HOTEL? I’LL PAY FOR THE CAB!"
And sure enough, a nice guy, about five people from the front of the line said, "I am." Bypassing a 50 minute line for […]
And with that lovely thought gracing your coffee and muffin this morning, I’m at EWR to grab a flight there for CES. With any luck, I’ll be heading back east less than 48 hours after arriving. Which, by the way, should be MORE than enough time for ANYONE in that city.
In other news, kudos one […]
Who in PR is gonna step up to the plate and make one for OUR industry?
On November 8, I posted how I believed that Ann Shoket was going to wind up as the next editor of 17.
Sometimes, I’m so good, I scare myself.
