Oh, Tumblr....
I’ve missed you.
What I Learned Last Night
Sunsets viewed from Chelsea Piers are pretty despite an ordinary skyline
I can take better, more interesting photos with my camera than I imagined possible now with a few simple tricks I just learned!
Business executives should have something compelling to say rather than proclaim their “excitement” after making a satelite crowd wait through a half hour of technical difficulties - Facebook,...

Ice cream makes everyone happy.
Jay! Why’d you post this?! Now, I’m craving ice cream and am afraid I won’t be able to concentrate on my work until my craving is satisfied! Thanks, Jay, thanks! :)
Geek Love
I just received spam from Wetpaint, a wiki I had to look up because I forgot what it was that I signed up for years ago! Now and again I’ll get emails from the ghost of my online past- Blue Dot, Wallop, Blogger and oh god, Friendster. Well, today it hit me - Tumblr has been my longest online relationship! Ten months and going strong! I’ve cut ties with MySpace, reinstated my...

This put the biggest smile on my face just now. Visit www.wherethehellismatt.com for the backstory. Pretty amazing!
Full Circle
“Whoa. Small world. I am not a NY-er. I am from Nashville. I have been following Mascarah’s blog since I started tumblr. She’s witty, has interesting things to say, and seems like a gal I would be friends with… Well, I just realized that “Janey who took the picture” is my Janey. What? How?
Erin looked familiar
Janey is model tall
Mascarah had an amazingly fun night
Had to...
“I can’t even ride the roller coaster.”
– Sarah aka Mascarha tonight- ps she’s gonna kill me
Drunk blogging at Brass Monkey
Just met the project manager for the new Standard hotel in Chelsea. He’s tempting us with a “guided tour” of the incomplete structure! Ha! Off to 60 Thompson- we have roof access! Sorry, if this is annoying, but I’ve had a few drinks and IT WAS A REALLY STRESSFUL WEEK! TGIF! :)
Girl Talk: Feed the Animals →
I first heard Girl Talk’s Night Ripper at a friend’s house in Nashville. We played the album over and over and over. I’m hoping Feed the Animals delivers, although previous success is a hard act to follow.

So tired
What is my deal? I can barely keep my eyes open today? I don’t get it. I got 7 hours of sleep last night, but I feel like I got one. My 16 oz black coffee is not helping, and needless to say, neither is looking at my computer screen. Wake up, Erin!!! Jeez.
Done.
sharingtime:
More doing.
Less blogging.* Less TV. Less whining. Less talking about doing.*
Luckily, doing automatically reduces the time spent doing everything else. It’s good that way.
*This post excluded.
NYT's Saul Hansell's response to AP's blogger... →
“A number of bloggers I respect a great deal didn’t find the A.P.’s openness to their ideas to be enough and have declared war on it. As someone who is both a blogger and an employee of a mainstream news organization, I worry that this hotheaded response is part of what gives blogs a bad name. And it doesn’t reflect the complexity of the underlying questions, which can be traced back to when...
Just finished watching AFI's 10 Top 10
Makes me want to watch good movies all night long
A Village Guide to Gelato →
Not sure why this guide is so W. Village specific considering that gelato plans generally involve one stop. But, if you’re looking for six options or planning a gelateria crawl give this link a look.
Favorite gelato combo: Pistachio and Frutti di Bosco. Yum!
verenasays:
Has anyone ever bought Uniqlo jeans? I need new jeans and I dont have the $158 required to re-purchase my current pair.
Basically, I need a pair of simple, well-fitting black skinny (but not too skinny) jeans.
Thoughts?
I have just the pair- but I can’t remember the brand (d’oh). I bought them at a boutique on Mulberry & Prince for only $58 dollars and they...

Tell them why you love New York State in a :60 short.
A Tumblr must win.
The only problem here is that pesky word- STATE! I love New York CITY and could put together an amazing 60 minute video on this place alone. Ah, I still think I want to submit something though. Might be travel time. Thanks, Peter!
Comments, please
I finally added comments to my blog.
Now, who’s going to be the first to leave me a video comment!?
Green Fatigue?
Just the other day I was telling a friend about some of the eco-projects I’m working on and sadly, yet not unexpectedly, she rolled her eyes. “Everything in Seattle is going green,” she said, adding that she wasn’t particularly interested in the movement.
I don’t fault her for feeling this way. In fact, this attitude is becoming more and more typical than the days of...
Postscript: Tim Russert by David Remnick →
“Russert was defined as much by what he was not as by what he was. He was not lazy or lax, he was not an ideologue or a cynic. Beyond his family, Russert’s passion was politics, and he cared enough about the game to try to keep it, and its players, honest.”
War, Inc: Cusack's Savage Satire Strikes a Chord... →
Today’s Huffington Post commentary on War Inc.has moved it from the “I’ll get around to seeing it” part of my life to a more action-oriented response - I’m seeing it tonight.
Pirates Terrorize Nigeria’s Fishing Fleet →
You know something is wrong with the world when pirates are being thrown back into the mix as a result of the global fight for oil. This article breaks it down simply, in that the struggle for oil (power, money) delivers increasing violence and halting economic growth.
Nigeria is the fifth biggest exporter of oil to the U.S. And over the past few years, its oil-producing region has seen its share...
