BREAKING: DUMBASS PR BLOGGER DOESN’T RECONIZE ROBERT SCOBLE. BLAMES LACK OF COFFEE

So I’m sitting here in the Seagate Bloghaus, writing up a NY Sun post. Someone sits down next to me, gets on his mobile, starts talking… I try to tune out… I wind up hearing that he’s talking to Owen Thomas of Valleywag. I note that I’m IM’ing with Jordan Golson, of “Hey Gene Krakow: Blow me!” fame. We’re talking about Jordan “stealing” an All Things D pillow last night.

So this guy gets off the phone, and I tell him that I’m Peter Shankman, I’m the guy who broke the Krakow story, etc. I ask him his name.

“I’m Robert Scoble. I know who you are, Peter.”

Blink.

I freaking hate when that happens.

I blamed it on a lack of coffee.

Below: Me and Robert Scoble. I’m the dumbass in the photo.

Instant Karma’s gonna get you…

(I was aiming that comment at the geek blogger who knows who I am, not the geek blogger who doesn’t know who I am.)

Peter, if you had remembered him and posted it, the story wouldn’t have been funny or memorable. And he does look like he’s aged a bit since he left Microsoft.

By the way, Peter, its time for a haircut.
