January 2009
We have information about the Jonas Brothers that 14-year old girls would kill for.
Oh 2008… you’re still here?
If you aren’t following @dens but would like to follow the life of a vagabond ski bum/technologist based in Manhattan, then he’s your guy.
December 2008
The City… a spin-off of The Hills, you people are kidding me. *sob* I should have written something about this into our vows.
The Nokia Tune: Grande Valse →
That’s right I’m going old school Nokia ringtone on my iPhone. This gent made an MP3 of the ringtone.
It’s only 10am and I already want a do-over. Pro tip: If you are a cartoonist have Cathy or Jeffy deliver this line in your next panel.
Allison and I are about to setup Wii Fit for the first time. As far as I understand, the goal of this game is to be the last to cry, right?
Crap. I just ran out of funny. I only had a year’s supply. Good thing 2009 is coming.

Ivor Tossell’s interesting theory on the differences between Facebook and Twitter in The Globe and Mail:
“Facebook is about people you used to know; Twitter is about people you’d like to know…

Taken around noon on 12/19 when it all started coming down.
When people ask me about the brevity of Twitter I always tell them “You can really say a lot in just 140 characters. More than you would th
NBC is replaying the Beijing Olympics opening ceremony just in case you needed a post-economic crisis reminder of who’s gunning for us.
Just watched ‘Kung Fu Panda’ for the first time with the kids & cousins. Grandma’s house is now a dojo. Crying in 5, 4, 3, 2…
Happy Boxing Day. May yours be without a dead bird in your backyard. Mine wasn’t.
Nice, just scored an Obama action figure. Take that Playmobile/StarWars! Kids? Daddy wants to play too, healthcare reform for Endor?
Not many other nights of the year where assembling an air hockey table at 1 AM wouldn’t make me sound insane. G’night all!
Merry Christmas folks from Ma & Pa Shellen’s in Fremont, CA. No snow but plenty of cheer. It’s in Cabernet form.
My Christmas wish has come true. I’m on a conference call and WebEx reviewing pricing for servers and hosting! God bless us every one!
FedEx just arrived, which is good because I was minutes away from a Tommy Lee Jones in The Fugitive-style hard target search.
Package tracking around the holidays is like a magic 8-ball: Columbus, OH - San Jose, CA - Columbus, OH - Try again later.
-@sacca Stupid Sacca, I think you can already do that!

Tried a different approach tonight. “We’re watching The Hills? Those girls are *very* hot. I’m in!” Didn’t work. Still have to watch.
Spoiler-alert for The Hills: the girl who sounds drunk made up with the other girl and there was crying. Then a guy grew some facial hair.
One of our engineers working in another time zone this week on whether he could make a late call: “I will literally ask my Mom.”
Just had blood drawn at the office for insurance purposes by a Russian nurse. I hope that wasn’t just an elaborate plot to clone me though.
RRNR is more misogynist than I remember.
Watching Rudolph the “Red Nosed Reindeer” (1964). Surprised it’s holding the kids attention since it’s not in 3D like “Bolt” was yesterday!
Dear Facebook, how about a button next to the “Recommended friends” to say “I dated this person - leave me alone!”. Too long?
Attorney General Jerry Brown Declares Prop 8... →
Me: Here is a picture of Times Square from yesterday. Drew (6): You went to Times Square? Did you get robbed?
Idea for Virgin America: While de-icing our plane give passengers Magnolia cupcakes with icing (@biz sez “and champage!”).
It’s snowing Eggo waffle-sized snowflakes in Manhattan. Maybe that’s an exaggeration. Would you believe Triscuit cracker-sized?

Thanks for the many awesome dinner suggestions. We’re just going to go to a steakhouse and Biz will eat starlight mints.
Near fatal flaw in my last tweet. I meant to say I ate a tube of Close-Up (a Unilever brand) as opposed to Crest (not a Unilever brand).
Hey folks - Where should @biz and I go for dinner in Manhattan? Biz is a vegan, I am not.
In NJ with @biz talking to Unilever about social media. I’ve prepared by covering myself with Axe bodyspray and eating a tube of Crest.
Red eye flights are great if instead of sleep you like constant fidgeting.

For Tommy Boy fans. Have I mentioned I’m wear a Large Men’s T-shirt?
All-up-in the 10013. Super short flight with @biz . Today’s itinerary: nap, Shake Shack, meetings, more meetings, TBD & sleep.
On the phone with @vcmike My main goal in conversations with Mike is to avoid saying anything worthy of a negative @vctips tweet.
I am not in the office right now (give or take 30 minutes).
Couldn’t wait for Picasa for Mac so I’m using CrossOver w/ Picasa 3 for PC. Much better than iPhoto. Recommended: http://tinyurl.com/qvhvw

Of course being the boss and all, I pulled out of the competition. We’ll never know how I would have stacked up.
Lunch, bowling, bad holiday sweaters and white russians at the @Plinky holiday off-site. Good times!
Braved the cold, stinging rain to visit Walmart against my better judgment. My last resort for a bad holiday sweater contest. Pics tomorrow!
Were those antibiotics or sleeping pills? What year is this?
I’m sick and my denial isn’t helping. Maybe the antibiotics I was just prescribed will.
