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 […]
Hopped the red-eye to London last night for a handful of meetings today. Found Kevin Anderson at the Guardian. Kevin is a corn-fed mid-west boy, transplanted to London, running the Blogs at the Guardian. He talks about the differences between American and European social media, why some people just don’t get it, and of course, […]
Live from PRSA Miami, where I just arrived, I offer this fun little story:
Every once in a while, you get shocked. Continental Airlines has a new system where if you go to a link on your Blackberry, the TSA can scan the screen and you don’t have to print out the boarding pass. I obviously […]
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 […]
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 […]
So, I’m headed to LA, to keynote the Executing Social Media Conference over the next few days. Should be a lot of fun.
You there? Let me know, let’s connect.
There’ll also be a HARO happy hour on Wednesday night (where I’ll have club soda. Woo.) at Lucky
Baldwin, starting around 5:30pm. It’s at 17 South Raymond Avenue, […]
Of course, I write this from home for a change, which is a nice touch. Mind you, though, as I write this, I also have another window open that’s booking a trip to Singapore, so… But anyway…
Top 10 signs you travel too much… (Or, top 10 signs you’re me.)
10. You have TripLife.com or Webflyer.com bookmarked under […]
An article that just out on ABC News talks about a study that says that more than 20% of business travelers carry more than one laptop.
That’s a bit much - even for me.
So I figure I’ll share my travel electronics list.
And ask about yours…
When I’m on the road… I carry…
My LG 8700 Phone on the […]
Trying to throw myself into work because tomorrow is the funeral… I’m very, very good at compartmentalizing. This would make for me being a spectacular spy. It also means I’ll probably go on a mass killing spree when my brain explodes by the time I’m 50. But that’s neither here nor there.
So I’ve started using […]
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 […]
