Bad Blogger I am.

At least six times in the past week, I’ve said (either to myself, or to a room full of people in perfect ADD fashion in the middle of a sentence about something totally different,) “Oh, that would so totally make a great blog post!” and then done absolutely nothing with it.
I’ve no one to blame […]



How NOT to introduce yourself to me

So imagine this… You walk up to me because I’m doing you a favor, and I put out my hand. Instead of shaking it, you violently slap it away, then tell me exactly how I’m supposed to talk to you, what I’m supposed to say, and warn me that if I utter so much as […]



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. […]



Welcome!

So I figured I needed one home, one world, where I could keep a little bit of everything…
So that’s what I’ve done. Welcome to the brand new www.shankman.com. I’ve had this domain name since 1997, and have been offered a ton of cash for it on more than one occasion. But come on - How […]



Crappy Day Cure #607

One of the best ways of curing a moderately crappy day (or a moderately crappy few minutes) is to visit "Overheard in New York."
If you haven’t tried it, I can’t recommend it enough.
One of today’s submissions that made me laugh out loud:
Man #1: It seems my first wife put my name down on a job […]



Thoughts on the Caveman’s Crib?

May I please just remind everyone that this started out as A COMMERCIAL FOR A FREAKING INSURANCE COMPANY??

How many product placements can you find? I caught at least four.
It’s a brilliantly designed website, though. I’d love to know who did it.



And YOU were there, and YOU were there, And You, and you too!

What was that CBS News Radio 88 slogan many years ago? "Miss a minute, and you miss a lot…"
It’s been quite the week so far. In no particular order, I’m going to randomize a bunch of stuff here and try and get everything caught up. Some PR, some industry, some personal, some other stuff…
First off […]



Because, you know, that’s where all the chicks are.

I’m just kidding. That’s not why I’m attending the 2007 BlogHer conference in Chicago, weekend after next. I’m attending to meet up with my client, FlavorX. In addition, lots of my favorite bloggers will be there, including Pamela, Crank, and a whole host of others. So it should be nice to catch up.
You going? Let […]



Redesign? Moi?

So who out there wants to take a crack at rebranding PR. Differently. Any designers out there? I’ll pay you, and sing your praises here, a blog (still amazing to me, day after day) that’s read by hundreds, occasionally thousands of people a day.
