GAP Magic? No, just GAP ROI.
Last month, I attended the BlogHer Annual Conference in NYC. Among other things, and maybe first and foremost, it’s a great place to catch up with friends and fellow bloggers that I don’t see all the time. One person in that category is Susan Getgood. Always happy to see Susan, I had to remark when …
The Greatest Gift of All
You may think I am talking about peace, love or happiness. But I’m not. I’m talking about coffee. Because you cannot have the first three with out the latter… Let me explain. I never was a real coffee drinker. I got through college on a steady regimen of Diet Pepsi and tea. Twice in my early …
The Class That Changed My Life
Saw a great blog post on Harper Academic from one of their employees about what class changed her life. It got me thinking about a class from a *long* time ago and something I did recently. I wonder how many teachers actually hear about the impact that they have had on a student’s life. I …
"Specatacle: Elvis Costello with The Police" airs tonight
I blogged about this when it happened, now FINALLY I get to watch it. Here’s the broadcast info from the Sundance Channel site. Get through the wait with a little preview… Squeeeeeeee!
You spin me round round baby
I admit it, I’m a gym rat. I enjoy going to the gym. I love lifting heavy weights, listening to cool tunes on the elliptical, and even sweating it out in boot camp. I like most classes offered at the gym, and when I can fit them in, I usually do. With one exception. Spinning. …
Customer service done RIGHT
Earlier this year, I had a most unfortunate experience at the Residence Inn in Austin TX during SXSW. It was made even worse by the fact that the hotel staff really didn’t think that there was a problem. There was little if any effort to reach out to me and say, hey, we value you as …
"Spectacle: Elvis Costello with the Police"
If you are not a fan of Elvis Costello or the Police, you just better stop reading now and skip to the next post. If you are a fan, you are in the right place. For yesterdsay, I had the extreme pleasure of attending a taping of Elvis’s new talk show, “Spectacle: Elvis Costello with…” …
Need it, want it, gotta have it
Two blog posts have me in purchase mode this morning. The first is from the good folks at OfficeSpacey. I have never been diagnosed with SAD, but I get very cranky when subjected to long periods without natural light. Here in Florida this week, I’m planning on soaking up as much sun as my SPF 50 …
Romance isn't dead
In response to my last post, Mr. IT came home on Friday night with a big chunk of Ghiradelli bulk chocolate. Way better than a dozen roses, and it didn’t make me sneeze. Sorry to out you, hon, but it put a big, huge smile on my face and I wanted to share.
In praise of "Juno"
As I have mentioned, I don’t get out much. The last adult movie I saw was “Love in the Time of Cholera”, which made me want to reread the book to remember why I liked that story it in the first place. Last week, however, I was treated to a night out with two good friends. We went …
24 – The Unaired Pilot
24 Fans – it’s sad to note that the 7th season of 24 looks to be on hold indefinitely due to that darn writers strike (as Jack would say, Dammit!). In the meantime, here’s a link to a video at CollegeHumor.com that shows what 24 would have been like in 1994. I’m geeky enough to find this hysterical – thanks to …
Who's the boy?
I’d like to take a time out from my obsession with naming all blog posts after songs by The Smiths to show a little love for the last undefeated team in the NFL. Of course, now that I have shown off IT Boy in his charming jersey, I’ve probably doomed the Pats. Nah, who am …
More fun with slow sync flash
Last night, I had the pleasure of seeing The Police in concert at Madison Square Garden here in NY. Never mind the fact that this was my 3rd Police concert this year (I admit it, I’ve been a super crazy fan since I was 12). This was their Halloween concert. Each seat had a postcard …
