Conference spam
Bruce Allen wrote about the proliferation of conference spam at this year’s Legal Marketing Association confernece; I noticed the same thing ahead of this year’s TechShow. Bruce writes:
If the LMA had asked me (called opt-in folks) I would have been happy to receive information from vendors with products or services specific to my current needs… […]
Think Different
While everyone’s getting all excited about the pro-Obama remake of Apple’s 1984 ad, I thought I’d share another Apple ad, which I think is the absolute best one minute of video I’ve ever seen:
I can still remember the first time I saw the ad, and every time I see it still provokes the same visceral, […]
Headline Animator in Gmail
If you’ve been following the ongoing saga that is Headline Animator (more sequels than Friday the 13th!), you’ll know that it’s been receiving a lot of attention over at FeedBurner world headquarters.

Wow. (And […]

I’m an attendee at Politics Online today (can’t stay for tomorrow, I need to be in NYC for a day of meetings); if you’re around, find me (brown jacket, jeans, black hair, FeedBurner logo on my laptop) and say hi. If we can rally enough people, we’ll do drinks on me this afternoon… (how’s that […]
The shortfallings of the Bush Administration
Let’s sum up, shall we? New Mexico GOP Party chairman Allen Weh has a chat with Karl Rove in 2005. Specifically, he tells Turd Blossom himself that US State’s Attorney David Iglesias should be fired. According to the AP, “the GOP party leader made clear his dissatisfaction with Iglesias stemmed in part from his failure […]
OK, OK. I give up. I’m on Twitter. When I first heard about Twitter, I thought it was just a way to render SMS as useful as e-mail (which is to say, not very). But as with many tools that are now an indispensable part of my online life (RSS, Flickr, Youtube, Gmail, Facebook, Google […]
Curt Schilling is blogging
I don’t care which baseball team you root for, if you have any interest in professional sports, you should take a look at Red Sox pitcher Curt Schilling’s blog. His first posts are remarkable. My favorites so far:
On baseball’s recent deal with DirecTV: “I don’t think there’s any doubt that we are still trying to […]
