Fun little note about Apple’s PR team form the AP:
Apple’s media blitz wasn’t without its glitches.
On NBC’s "Today" show, co-host Meredith Vieira ran into problems trying to get the iPhone to work, laughing that "this is why gadgets drive me crazy."
With a team of Apple representatives hovering off-screen, Vieira was supposed to receive […]
I got hit in the head with by a bat yesterday.
Went to the Singapore Night Safari. Lots of fun - No question - Only problem, I couldn’t take photos of anything. It’s dark. (Because, you see, it’s a NIGHT Safari…) and you can’t use your flash. So photos of all the animals were out. But […]
Paul McNamara at Network World sent me this little blog piece about how an unnamed employee at an unnamed company gave an interview without permission and got canned for it.

Anyhow, I remember that one of the first shirts I ever bought because of the message, as opposed to "I need a shirt," was a Fido Dido t-shirt that read, simply, "Normal is […]
Did anyone happen to notice that Taco Bell sent two delivery boys to Paris’ Grandparents house to give Paris her first meal upon her release from jail?
I saw this repeated on CNN, the BBC, and the local Singapore news several times over the course of the evening, because I was up from 3am on. I […]
They say be careful what you wish for… When I opened the conference today, I jokingly promised that I’d let the audience know as soon as Paris was released.

Should have mentioned this - Doing Wisconsin Public Radio to talk about Marketing in about 6 and a half hours - 7am EST. Tune in if you’re in Wisconsin, I suppose… http://www.wpr.org/
