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 […]



I made the move.

It’s been ten years, but I came home.

I bought a MacBook Pro.
Goodbye, Windows. You screwed me over one too many times.



Anyone know how to fix a broken Wordpress?

So all of a sudden, I can’t upload photos. I’ve no idea why. I try and upload, and it craps out and goes to an error page. Changes: Recently switched to Firefox, and AVG needed an upgrade. That’s it. I’m using Vista. I know, I know.
Anyone help?



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…

Currently in Washington, DC, about to co-speak to the Capital Communicators Group. I had a bunch of meetings I’d been putting off in DC, so was able to schedule this talk and take the day down here.
Anyhow, am going to try and live-stream through Yahoo’s new live-streaming service. So if you’ve nothing better to do […]



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 […]



Are you a Movable Type/Blogging expert?

If you are, contact me. I have a project for you.



So I get this phone call…

So my mobile phone rings yesterday afternoon, from a restricted number, as I’m walking through CVS to pick up more Ibuprofen for my broken rib.
I answer it, and find myself talking to some woman who claims to be the “head of Profnet,” who tells me that me that I’ve been stealing reporter queries and posting […]



When Technology is cool for a purpose

I got to play with the iBot today, thanks to my client’s IR breakfast at Le Parker Meridian.
What an amazing device! Totally revolutionary, but is to be expected, since Dean Kamen invented it. Dean, as you know, also invented the Segway.

Just spectacular technology. Seriously.



Last Night’s Social Media Club New York Event

Thanks to Steve Eisenberg and Howard Greenstein for putting it all together. About 70 people showed up! Wow! It’s always a pleasure to speak with Andrew Weinreich, and together, I think we really gave some good ideas about where social networking is, where it’s going, and who’s winning. It was a lot of fun.
Another nice […]
