  • - I have been digesting Chris Brogan’s blog post, My Love For Blogging, from last week. It is a great post. Meaty. Challenging. Inspirational. I don’t usually print what I read on the Web, in the interest of being Green and sensible. Chris’ post, though, I printed, and then sat with a pen, and read, making squiggly underlines and little arrows, like I used to in school.

  • - This morning my male colleague was clueless. “Haven’t you been following the hilarity?” I was incredulous. The twitter around the unfortunate name for Apple’s iPad has the women in the office giggling. It’s such an ewww-how-could-they moment that we have to roll our eyes.

  • - Back to school and already Thanksgiving gift guide - What’s up with this? What’s the deal?...Our new public relations firm is really lighting a fire under us. We already had all the Back-to-School press releases distributed back in June and I thought Pierson Grant (our new PR firm) was crazy, telling us we had to disseminate information so early. Heck, I’ve just finished my Thanksgiving Gift Guide and all press releases are ready to roll.
