Your Thursday productivity killer
For those who don’t subscribe to Daily Candy and didn’t see this, I present Boomshine. When your clients dump you because you’ve stopped doing anything productive, send them to me, ok?
Changing the name of this blog to “Don’t do anything you wouldn’t want to see on You-tube, Volume 9932″
This is truly spectacular. I’ve said it before. It’ll come back to bite you. It always does. Ask Darren. Or George. Or anyone else who’s found themselves on the wrong end of the You-tube cattle prod.
Here’s what happens when you freak out on a movie set.
You know, a movie set. That has CAMERAS. That tend […]

Congratulations to kick-ass reporter, and my friend, Josh Friedlander of Absolute Return Magazine, for landing in NewsBios’ 30 under 30! Welcome to the club, Josh! (I was in PR Week’s 30u30 in 2000.)

Grossest Profnet of the day

With any luck, I won’t gain my usual five pounds of undigested matzoh in my […]
More running, less skydiving, equals faster on the ground, lousy in the air Peter…
Worst… Skydive… Ever… But it means I’m getting faster. If I’m focusing more on running, then my skydiving suffers. But I get thinner. So it’s good. I’ll break 3:45 in the marathon then promptly forget to open or something.
