oh, unhappy day...

quite possibly my very favorite media contact ever is stepping down from his post

best of luck to him - but damn, so sad...

Hey Chicken Little, don't look now...

That is just kind of Jackass, right?

I don't know why the majority of the things that end up on morning news shows (local and national) are considered news. This is infuriating to me as a viewer, so I usually just don't watch. As a PR agent, it makes me flat balls-to-the-wall crazy. There is real news out there. Go cover that.

Love this video, though. Love the guy calling the reporter on his crappy journalism. Love just how pathetic the "on-the-ground coverage" is. But mostly, I love the shows producers, who obviously hate this douche bag as much as I now do - if they didn't, they would have pulled the cameras and shut it down as soon as it went south.

The times they are a changing...

I still haven't completely decided where I am going with my blog - but in an effort to actually hit the same number of posts in 2008 that I did in 2007, I thought I would drop in a little note.

I did go back and read through a bunch of the stuff I wrote up here last year...on occasion, I think I might have actually said a few insightful things. I think it is mildly ironic that I started this blog right around the launch of the iPhone, and now the 3G is out and I am re-thinking the blog. Seems like the coverage and the excitement hasn't been as frenetic as it was for the first phone (thank god, cause it just pushes me right over the edge and I start flying off the handle at anyone I see carrying one).

I don't have any brilliant insights to share right now, so I am going to cheat and embed a video JT has up on LiveDigitally. My absolute favorite line is, "I'm Bluetoothing it - is that a verb?" Oh, how it will make LP's ears bleed.

starting over...

Turns out, there are too many people out there blogging about blogging (and doing a much better job than I ever did) so I think I will refocus my blog (thus the new color). We will see what I chat about now...stay tuned.

Yeah, what Kyle said...

HELP! I am drowning in the kool-aid

I am on my way to the Bluetooth SIG All Hands Meeting in Phoenix, AZ. I have worked on/been involved with the AHM for the past four years, but I have never actually seen it first hand. I am looking forward to several rooms full of folks wearing, but not using Bluetooth headsets.

However, in my current running obsessed state, what I am really excited about is going for a little run in the land of the Ironman Arizona. I am just amazed that people compete in these races (it is 140 miles of biking, swiming and running, in case you didn't know). Anyway, a girl I have never met that runs with the same group in Austin I do has been trainging for this thing and I litterally cannot wait till race day (same day, kind of as Flora in London) where I will camp out in front of my computer and watch both her and Gilbert acomplish amazing things.

UPDATE: A surprising small number of headset-wearers-not-users.

UPDATE 2: It is insanely dry out here. Did a little four miler and my mouth was dry in about two minutes in. Texas may be hot, but at least there is some moisture.
