So I’m in Miami, speaking at the Mobile Adult Congress. I arrived yesterday, stayed overnight, and then spoke today, heading home tonight, hopefully.
In the middle of all of this, I managed to find the worst Sheraton in the free world.
Now understand - I’m a huge, huge fan of any Starwood property. I’ve been a Starwood […]
This story on Disaboom, out this morning in Advertising Age, simply rocks.
Nice way to start the week.
Well, that and a grilled cheese, bacon, and tomato sandwich on wheat toast from Tasos Restaurant. Or two.
So my mobile phone rings yesterday afternoon, from a restricted number, as I’m walking through CVS to pick up more Ibuprofen for my broken rib.
I answer it, and find myself talking to some woman who claims to be the “head of Profnet,” who tells me that me that I’ve been stealing reporter queries and posting […]
No better way to title the post than that.
As you know, I participate in a ton of high-risk activities. Skydiving, marathoning, you name it. If I can’t potentially die doing it, hell, it’s not a sport. Which makes the damn irony of this so much more annoying.
Last Tuesday, in an effort to get to my […]
It’s late early 1997, and I’ve just left AOL, and moved back to NYC. Living in my parents’ basement, I set out one day to the Nederlander Theatre at 10am, to wait on a freezing cold line to get “poor-student tickets” as they called them, to a new and completely different type of Broadway show […]
I got to play with the iBot today, thanks to my client’s IR breakfast at Le Parker Meridian.
What an amazing device! Totally revolutionary, but is to be expected, since Dean Kamen invented it. Dean, as you know, also invented the Segway.
Just spectacular technology. Seriously.
Thanks to Steve Eisenberg and Howard Greenstein for putting it all together. About 70 people showed up! Wow! It’s always a pleasure to speak with Andrew Weinreich, and together, I think we really gave some good ideas about where social networking is, where it’s going, and who’s winning. It was a lot of fun.
Another nice […]
I read the greatest quote on ADD the other day. “In ADD, there are only two types of time: “Now,” and “not now.”” While this is, 100%, without question, my life, I’ll get into more of that at some point in a future post. I promise.
The reason I bring it up today, is because we […]
It’s nice to do a favor for someone - if I can get them press, I will. If I happen to sit on their advisory board when I do it, all the better.
The Scott-e-Vest on RawVegas last week at CES. It’s not CNN… But then… Scott’s not Larry King, either. So it all works out.
Update: Since tons of media now has the story, I won’t bother posting new photos - You can find more at Curbed or Gothamist. I will, however, say this: SHANKMAN.COM WAS FIRST.
First photos coming in now. See top left for collapse. Photo credit: Shankman.com/Tom Sunshine
