City to Airport, eight minutes… Wow

Tried the US Helicopter service from NYC to Newark Airport yesterday. After taking it, I realize that I can never take a regular form of transportation to the airport ever again. It was truly awesome.
For about $30 more than a car service from my apartment, I walked into the US Helicopter terminal on 33rd Street […]



Good Vibes to my HARO gang in Texas!

Stay safe, my friends.

Good vibes!!



The Inside of a TSA X-Ray Machine

This is what happens when ADHD gets the best of you when you’re on line at LAX and there’s no First Class lane, no CLEAR lane, and only two lanes of six open. Oh, and when it’s 4:30am in the morning, and I haven’t had enough coffee. And by “enough,” I mean “any.”
It occurs to […]



Good Karma - Yet again, it really works!

On my flight from IAH–>LAX today, I got upgraded at the last minute to 1A from 14F. As any fan of Seat Guru (www.seatguru.com) knows, on a 737-300, that’s not such a great upgrade. 14F doesn’t have a seat in front of it, 1A is against the front of the plane. Other than a slightly […]

Some images from Ad:Tech, Spring 2008

Ad:Tech is over, a good show had by all, some spectacular food, drink, and the like. Good friends, one ridiculously hard early-morning workout… And in general, a good time. Exhausted, I sit in the SFO President’s Club, waiting on my CO flight back home.

Me and Charles Ruderman, showing the rest of the party what it […]



Be careful what you say

You never know what’s going to wind up on VLOG somewhere. I magically appear about 30 seconds in.



Help A Reporter Out - The Sequel!

So… Y’all remember how I started that little Facebook group I started that allowed me to connect reporters and sources, right? Well, 1,200 members later, and we’ve blown past email limits for Facebook groups. So with that said…
Welcome to Help A Reporter: The Sequel. Help A Reporter, at www.helpareporter.com is live, and already making waves. […]



Don’t You Wish You Were Me?

In CA for meetings today. Figured I’d head out and skydive all morning.
It’s cloudy as anything. No skydiving. So I sit here, at the makeup counter/mirror of my suite, working. I could do this from home. I don’t need to be a suite to do it.
“Wow, Peter, you get to travel all the time! It […]



Making the Most of “Short-Burst” Downtime

I put “downtime” into two different categories. Short-burst downtime, and long-burst downtime.
Long-burst downtime, we all know, are the hours between the flight attendant saying  “Sir, the doors closed 15 minutes ago, Blackberry off, NOW,”  and that first “ka-thump” of the wheels hitting pavement, hundreds or even thousands of miles away.
Then there’s short-burst downtime.
If you’re connected […]
