A wonderful moment on the West Side Highway…

Which started out crappy.
So I think I mentioned I bought this new bike. Well, it’s mostly been cold and crappy here, so I haven’t been out too much to ride it yet.
Today, though, was gorgeous out. So I decided to have a go. Up the West Side Highway to the GW Bridge, and back. 12-13 […]



The world must be ending (No, seriously! edition.)

How to tell the world is ending…
Someone takes really good unposed photos of me at a conference.
I’m like… floored.

Thank you Tina and Marijohn and everyone at Mobile Content World Asia.



Hey publicists… NEVER GIVE UP!

I pitched a story on anti-counterfeiting to the Boston Herald SIX MONTHS AGO. They liked it, all the interviews were conducted, all the background done… Then it sat.
And sat. And sat.
I’d check in occasionally with the reporter, asking what was up, if anything was new. Just enough to make sure she remembered, not enough to […]



Oh, Pool-boy…

So I trained with some Coasties yesterday. Got my ass kicked. But - swam in the most beautiful pool known to man.
I need to swim more. Especially since I’m signed up for a bunch of triathlons this summer.
What’s the best pool in New York City? Anyone? I need a good one. I’m willing to pay […]



Twitter dee dee…

Been on Twitter for a while, checking it out for an idea that’s swirling around in my brain for a new company. But that said, I’m finally letting people know I’m on it. So go ahead, add me to your lists. Have fun.



Another reason why AirTroductions will eventually rule the world

From my friend JS… Whatever AirTroductions winds up being called after our new redesign and relaunch, below is yet another example of why it will soon rule the world.

Peter: Have fun blogging this:

Then I have a bag of magazines- so he is looking over my shoulder at them- and seeming like he wants to read […]



Friday editor lesson of the day: STOP HAVING SEX WITH PUBLICISTS

Los Angeles Times Editor Andres Martinez resigned after a "failed editing experiment" and allegations of an ethical breach.
Basically, the LA Times was going to have a "Guest Editor" section, where celebs and the like could edit the paper, deciding what stories could run and who could write them.
Brian Grazer (producer, A Beautiful Mind) was gonna […]



Friday morning, Jetlag, Ambien, and Bunny edition

So I made it home.
Walked in the door around 9:00pm to two very pissed off cats. (Their standard mood.)
Flight wound up leaving Tokyo around 3:30 hours late, around 8:30pm Tokyo. (9:30am EST.)
I wound up sitting next to a lovely person who had a large supply of Ambien. Understand, I’ve NEVER taken Ambien, or any sleeping […]



At 4:46am EST…

Not one of the over 200 people on my buddy list is awake.
Except for the one in London. And she’s in a meeting.
Sigh. Still no news on my flight. Stupid Houstoners. You’d think I could vibe SOMEONE to wake up.

Stupid vibes.



I’m having serious issues with Houston

Sitting in Norita Airport, Tokyo, delayed. Why? Because there were mechanical issues with CO Flight Six, going from Norita to Houston.
But Peter! You don’t live in Houston! You’d rather chew off your foot than live in Houston! What does the Houston flight 6 have to do with your flight 8?
Easy: Houston is a bigger hub […]
