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 […]
Shared a cab to LAS with Sarah Meyers and made it thru security in just under 20 minutes. Kinda shocked, considering that 84 million geeks were leaving at the same time.
Sitting close to the gate, when Jordan Golson walked by again with his booty… The miserable pillow of D. This pillow is quickly becoming a […]
Caught Sarah Meyers happily blogging away across the table from me here at the Bloghaus.
About to head to the airport, so that was a nice way to end the conference.
(And yes, that’s Scoble’s laptop directly to my left.)
The advangtages of getting to Vegas early on Sunday before the show goes insane, as opposed to the Monday morning flight I normally take out to the city of sin: a less-than five minute cab line, no line at the monorail to the convention center, and it took all of 37 seconds to get my […]
There are 22 people on the 9am flight to Vegas. I’m booked on the 10:10am flight to Vegas, which is completely full. I asked if I could get on the earlier flight, since there are (see above) 22 people on it.
“Of course you can, sweetie.”
“Great, that’d be wonderful!”
“It’ll be $72.00.”
Blink.
Yup. On Southwest, to standby on […]
Stupid Warner Home Video - Choosing to go with Blu-Ray instead of HD… Which of course, in a very tail-between-their-legs type of way, caused the HD DVD consortium to cancel their Sunday night CES party. Which was shaping up to be a good one, and a good way to get into the CES groove.
Letter all […]
Good morning from the Sunport, Albuquerque’s cool futuristic name for their airport.
This morning’s Boston Globe - "Today’s Business Cards Offer a New Edge" - Talks about my business chips. Validation is cool.
This Sunday morning finds me headed home from Albuquerque to pet my cats, do a load of laundry, and get a few hours sleep. […]
Good morning from Newark International Airport’s Terminal C President’s Club 1. I’m waiting for my flight to Albuquerque, New Mexico, to keynote the New Mexico PRSA, as a favor to my good friend Benson Hendrix.
As I sit here, I can reflect, which is always fun. And I can learn how to use my right thumb […]
Lookie what I found this morning outside CBS News - A reporter was covering it, seemingly curious about what happens if you get rammed by Mayor Bloomberg’s Suburban.
But - Quicker, smaller, faster, and able to get through even the tightest spaces left by the moron who double-parked his Fresh Direct truck next to an empty […]
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 […]
