Peter on Philosophy.
Philosophy is good. A good philosophy is better. I have a good philosophy. Do you?
The week of “Abstract Busy-ness”
First person who knows what the line “Abstract business” is from gets a HARO t-shirt.
Sitting outside the Huntington, LI Hilton, waiting to speak at the Long Island Public Relations Professionals breakfast this morning. “Breakfast” and “Driving to Long Island for” should never, ever be in the same sentence.
So this afternoon is the HARO “How to […]
Today’s fun object lesson…
Today’s object lesson of the day, brought to you by the fact that after it happened, it made me giggle. And I swear it happened, I’m not being all Dale Carnegie on you. Was walking back from a lunch meeting, and came across a curb with a giant puddle. (corner of 11th and 48th.) Standing […]
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. […]
Last Night’s Social Media Club New York Event

Another nice […]

Interview with me on That Marketing Show
Got a nice plug this week on That Marketing Show, an Internet Podcast all about gardening and home protection.
I’m joking. It’s about Marketing. Duh.
I may or may not have called most publicists idiots. But I’ve done that on this blog, too. So no worries.
Listen here.
Why it’s nice to be proven right: Today’s short story.
Thought I’d share this New York Times blog this morning from a reporter, Marci Alboher. She’s a reporter for the times, and also writes a blog called "Shifting Careers." In this particular edition, she talks about how people can create their personal brand.
I bring this up because, as a non-traditional PR person, I tend […]
Massive Client Hit
Killer hit this morning in the NY Times for Disaboom, a relatively new client. The nicest part is that it took about a month - the client understood this, and got that solid PR is not an overnight process. If you find yourself lucky enough to work with clients who understand timing, like mine do, […]
Hey California: I’m speaking tonight
