Writing all day, track pants, flannel shirt, beard, baseball cap, 930pm Indian delivery <~~ I am reliving college
Ugh. I was planning to go to NYC Dec 5-7, but now I might delibrately avoid because of @shesgeeky. On the other hand, it’s a huge city.
WHERE IS MY FOOD
Writing a piece about my @Washingtonian #DatingDiaries disaster, I mean, experience + transparency. Not sure what I’m doing with it yet.
My god, you could use this vindaloo sauce to dye clothing!

Congrats to @briansolis on his new PR book - order at Amazon! (http://ping.fm/KZAVC)
Hmm, figuring out which Twitter people to follow and which to get updates about via RSS feed. Different strokes for different folks.
An old NYC friend of mine (fmr. NYU labmates) seems to have found his way onto Twitter - everybody please welcome @ShawnACyran onboard.

In the spirit of Twitter 2/2: Yesterday I unfollowed almost everyone I had with a locked acct. Now I might unfollow ppl without real pics.
Interesting article on the Nintendo Wii as a multi-media console - I tend to think like this too, but who knows (http://is.gd/9Das) (by @om)

more coffee = more writing? we’ll put that theory to the test after this short commercial break
Great. Turns out I can’t get the Patriots game at home. Only the Jets. Ugh. Well, I’m finally going to watch the Entourage finale anyway.
Boy, is there anything better after a hot shower on a cold, rainy day than slipping into some flannel?? Okay, a few things. But still.
Looking forward to Patriots-Steelers at 4:15 EST.
One role of the intellectual is to balance the ledger, revealing that any advantage is always temporary and reversible.
Ohh…I like the idea of @PeopleBrowsr a lot!! But it doesn’t seem to work yet? (http://www.peoplebrowsr.com/) (Thx @SHHHE et al)
I wonder, if we are to meddle, if it were better to be a full empire, rather than ‘change’ and then leave, only to see reversion.
If it were not Mumbai but NYC, with commandos in Central Park and The Plaza on fire, how would that affect Bush? Obama? The US?
Funny how certain countries are quieter and causing less trouble now that oil is half-price. Heh, heh.

Hmm, I am unexpectedly crushing on iGov a lot at the moment, since it’s catchy, simple, current, and can mean numerous things. Thoughts?
I think it’s so pathetically weak when someone’s sole reason for commenting on a blog is to promote something they have an interest in.
Government 2.0 should probably also be renamed because “2.0” wrongly implies an incremental process of change.

Time for well-deserved food and wine. Goodnight all.
2X - I think its so pathetically weak when someone’s sole reason for commenting on a blog is to promote something they have an interest in.
I think these kinds of articles (http://ff.im/adYG) about “getting followers” do newbies a disservice. Like SEO. Just write good stuff!
Writing the next article for that slavedriver @sharonfeder … god, could I get a day off, woman? ;)
