off to hot yoga

@gapingvoid post this morning gen'd a ton of diggs - http://ping.fm/fKnqT

winding down the night. going to do my guitar practice. nothing like loggin' 10 hrs on a sunday. that's life, for now.

establishing a social footprint for two companies right now, sitting by the pool and listening to radiohead at glastonbury. no complaints.

plurk seems to be pretty big in asia. anecdotal evidence, but i was just scrolling through the interesting plurker's list.

chasing down people to pay invoices. anyone using a app like freshbooks to manage this? are there other apps? anything else that might help?

checking out @tedhackman 's ravigate (in private alpha). see some possibilities here.

At a wedding in sun city & 8 champagne glasses deep, nodding my head to a woman telling me how she gets diarrhea from frog legs. Wow.

off to catch up with @bobneeser. been a while.

off to guitar lessons.

microsoft campaign "i'm a PC" making you install silverlight. seems to take forever.

Travis Barker and DJ AM were critically injured in a plane crash and four others died. http://ping.fm/LCvcH

microsofts newest commercials are pretty decent, but their metadata on the campaign's creative tells you a lot. http://ping.fm/Sz0vd

Looking forward to a semi relaxing weekend. It was an awesome week. See everyone tomorrow.

done with the board meeting and heading up to another meeting over at the RP.

down @flypaperstudio for a board meeting.

Dear cleaning service, where is my underwear?

definitely not ready to go on a "media-diet" but glad to know you can & it's becoming more acceptable when you need to.

learned from @charleneli today that SMBs should not drive conversations to their site, but go engage the audience in the right communities.

good morning all. heading down to see @charleneli speak today.

the next phase of the $300M for micorosoft's campaign seems like a better play & should resonate much better - http://ping.fm/jiNGh

microsoft calls is quits on the new campaign. No soup for seinfeld or gates. http://ping.fm/VuNQh

had a lot of responses to my "lid reduction" comment earlier today - a lid reduction is a haircut. i thought it was better known. ;)

heard another down round story today. what's everyone else hearing on A2 & B rounds? seems valuations r coming way down 4 the few getting $.

talked with a social/buzz firm today who guarantees a specified amount of traffic in the form of unique. pretty interesting pitch.

Skipping out to get a lid reduction.

dang! a premature launch w/ a major tech blog review can be so destructive. gotta launch w/ your ducks in a row. velocity & "ready" are key!

Back of the napkin thinking is incredible with Evernote. Craft it, take a pic on your phone and send to Evernote. Cool!

off to a bday party.

ouch

stubhub being blamed for the major rate increase for tickets in MLB. hmm!

watch an apple commercial & then watch the new MS commercial. apple = simple & elegant. MS = slow, clunky & torturous. kinda like vista.

@ryanswagar I agress, the microsoft campaign is freakin' weird. it's not relevant. it's like a really, really bad seinfeld episode.

finishing the day. deciding if tonite is mellow, semi mellow or maybe a little on.

when @golfsullivan uses the "camel nose in the tent" metaphor you know he is really getting into the pitch. i love it!

@heathflicker got dressed up for me today. he is looking very dashing.

@rz_az thanks for thinking of me for your article.

down @flypaperstudio at the first crm partner meeting. vetting out the partner strategy.

good night all. early day tomorrow down @flypaperstudio .

calling it a day. see ya!

just finished a day of wire framing. 10 hours of experience design. you know how it goes, "what if", "what about", "who cares"...

@yammer_team if ur servers don't burn up tonite then we will know something is up. i'll call bullshit on @techcrunch & assume he invested ;)

in regards to yammer & the #tc50. i guess people just really wanted a bus. model for twitter. @yammer, your stuff is pretty cool.

yammer wins the #tc50. cool, but how does an incremental technology win the show that is suppose to be breaking new innovation? @om ?

just got logo comps back and they are looking pretty good. wireframing site this week.

looks like silverlight has some maturing to do. NBC goes back to flash. http://ping.fm/iih1T

arizona is teeing up some cool conferences w/ marketing profs, az entrepreneur & podcamp az. should be a fun october and november.

going to bed late means i woos out of working out in the morning. dang it!

last day of #TC50. curious to see the write ups comparing #DEMO and TC50.

thinking about scrapping the wordpress blog project and going with squarespace. thoughts?

verdict: genius on itunes08 is pretty cool. free version makes great playlists. yes, it will make me buy more songs.

trying genius out on the new itunes. my gut says it's going to make be want to buy more songs.

wished twitter had comments as "replies" are a bit hard to track. hint to yammer, make it more like Jaiku. corporate will love you for it.

WOW! Tonchidot is incredible. #tc50

itunes8, new nanos & touch at www.apple.com

best panel so far at #tc50 (mark cuban, @kevinrose, @dondodge, & roelof botha)

mixxt gets noted as well on my try list. #tc50

popego was interesting from #tc50. popego, do you realize your beta invite link is down?

also, the format today (panel feedback after every pitch) is much better.

lineup today #tc50 is much better.

showing @jimsagar the value of ping.fm

getting a demo of icontact.com right now and i am really impressed. lot's of utility. very cheap.

over at the consultingmo.cm this afternoon. pitch went pretty well this morning.

so far, not that impressed with the lineup at tc50.

ashton not doing so well at TC50. twitter is killing him. did web 2.0 just get punk'd?

TC50 is experiencing all sorts of issues relative to streaming. back on now!

off to PB to finish the pitch and proposal.

word up, Sunday!

entourage starts tomorrow. can't wait. best show on tv. hands down!

retweet on why men have nipples - @mortonfox @bzkicks http://ping.fm/4tk7u

@ryanswagar worked on my putting and flop shots last night. surprised i was in any condition to process the lesson, but i did.

getting ready to do the walk of shame as @bridgetztalk takes me to get mt car.

anyone want to join me on plurk? starting to really like it. love to have you over there too. http://ping.fm/dwynf

if i said CDN, who else (other than akamai, limelight, bitgravity & vitalstream) would you throw on the shortlist?

terrible night sleep. ugh! jumping on a call with new york and then off to the office. crankin' this weekend for a big pitch on monday.

heading out to a casual meeting. just got a pitch moved up on us. big week next week.

off to flypaper.

good day so good night all.

ping.fm just went open beta. go check it out - www.ping.fm. incredible "social-all" app.

Chrome blows up on twitter search. should see it today. http://ping.fm/8xu4M

@wilskitz can't say i agree. google is an innovator. though their search needs improvement it's the best around. Chrome will be a revolution

good morning all. off to the gym and then a solid day of making it happen.

ping.fm is hands down the best social app which i have tested in the past 6 months.
