Volunteering at our CSA administering the vegetables to the neighbors
Annoys the shit out of me when I see an ad for a Windows-specific product while browsing on a Mac. Targeting anyone?
And also of note, I remember when I paid $0.25 to ride the bus. That’s how old school I am.
Just got charged 2.25 on the bus. Did fares go up while I wasn’t paying attention?
Not sure if the genre of music I’ve been downloading is pop, disco, dance or something else, but pretty sure it’s age-inappropriate.
There’s something odd about men who wear red pants
Why is the reload button in that retarded spot in the new Safari? Why Apple? Why?
Kid asleep. I’m getting cranky.
Momofuku Milk Bar mobbed at 11pm. @dorielp had “compost cookie” with potato chips, pretzels, coffee, and butterscotch. Mmmm.
After that downpour we better have the record for wettest June ever. Can anyone confirm?
Not feeling the whole “parenthood” thing this morning
In “Wanna be Starting Something” why does he keep singing “You’re a vegetable! You’re a vegetable!” Or am I mishearing this?
I really hope he doesn’t turn into a dancing zombie this time.
Arrived in Chicago, should have brought a second shirt. Almost as hot as Cleveland.
And we have delay number one (plane not at gate) and two (broken bulb) before weather has a chance to weigh in.
And delay number three, engines won’t turn on. About 15 minutes away from bailing on the whole trip.
LGA to Ohare with 90 degrees and rain expected in both cities. What’s the over-under on serious delays?
Off to the IAB to give webinar on DoubleClick Benchmarking study (not today’s study, if you’re keeping score). http://bit.ly/HeNSf
DoubleClick publishes the “Brand Value of Rich Media” report measuring increased brand lift across display ad types. http://bit.ly/3B9Z
Inbox starting to reach reasonable levels after vacation. But remaining 16 items are the hard cases!
Would like a moistened towelette to conclude this meeting.
Full day meeting in hot room
Terminator TV show much better than movie and it was free, and it was cancelled.
Going to see the Terminator movie (finally). It’s like date night, but without the wife.
Hmm, seems to be raining again.
Celebrating Father’s day with toilet training. TMI?
DoubleClick publishes display benchmarks for CTR, interaction rates, video completes, and expansions. Useful stuff. http://bit.ly/HeNSf
Vacation over. Judging from the number of “I know you’re on vacation, but…” emails I got, I sense next week will be quite busy for me.
You could feed the world with the left over condiments and bisquick from vacation rentals
Obsessed with the idea of eating all of our vacation food before we head back to city. Ideal is to eat last bite as we pack up car.
Old Irish guy’s a holocaust survivor (shows me tattoo removal scar on arm); got caught in Europe as kid w/o passport, mistaken for Jew!
Local guy asks me where I work. After I tell him I get a blank stare like he’s never heard of it.
For some reason I got to thinking about “vogueing” (the dance). Can you believe anyone actually did that?
Kid in Target: “I want to go to the Lightning McQueen section of the store.” Wife: “oh, it’s right here.”
Somehow I find myself in Target during vacation.
Eagerly anticipating my next body part failure. They seem to be coming with the regularity of a Ford Fiesta a month past warranty date.
Watched Pinocchio. Disturbed by Pleasure Island sequence where boys are encouraged to drink, smoke and fight, then turned into mules.
Theme of this vacation : an orgy of “sometimes foods.”
Off to North Fork for family vacation.
In a meeting that is spiraling out of control
I believe I am eating a potato salad where they deep fried the potatoes before mixing with bacon and mayo. Google is trying to kill me.
Listening to @grahamsmith ‘s album http://kgw.me/
Leaving for work before 7am. Who says I’m not motivated?
Get off the Internet, I’ll meet you in the Street. Great lyric!
Spam headline of the day: “Be the Slit Attacker!”
In retrospect, the second sambuca may have been a mistake
Someone just threw a wine cork at me, accusing me of twittering during dinner. Not true!
Wow, I’m really fucked. Not in a good way.
Getting to work in the rain was the highlight of my day
Introduced kid to phrase “raining cats and dogs,” now all the “why” follow-up questions are coming
