Washington is Revenge of the Nerds
Washington men are only interested in possessing the women who spurned them in high school and college.
Juggling glass balls and rubber balls
I love to hear Phil Lader talk about the work-life balance in terms of juggling rubber balls and glass balls, glass balls being family, health, friends and spirit, and irreplaceable.
Make your invisible graphics-intensive or flash site highly visible to google
Chances are that your corporate website is beautiful and expensive. Beautiful websites tend to be rich in graphics, images, photos, and Flash content. They also tend to be shallow with few pages and very little copy. Sites like this are almost impossible for Google to find. If Google can't find you then neither can your customer. Until now. This article helps you turn your invisible corporate website into a high-profile and highly-effective medium for communication. This article is designed to help you turn your stealth website into a big, loud, impressive, bomber of a website with plenty of payload capacity, the payload being your company, your message, your products, your services, and your story.
Purina one is role model for word-of-mouth marketing
I listen to both the Glen Beck Program and Jack Diamond Morning Show and one thing they both have in common is that both Jack and Glen spontaneously wax poetic about their dogs.

The Pope's Penis by Sharon Olds
Surely one of my favorite poems. Amazing. My four favorite poets are Sharon Olds, Galway Kinnell, Emily Dickinson, and Walt Whitman--there are more but these are the top-4.
Family Holiday with Wendy Gottlieb and the Gottliebs
My mum and I spent Christmas eve with mum’s friends in Reston and Christmas day with the Gottliebs, who offered the most amazing spread imaginable. Really.
Guest lectured at Columbia University over the weekend
Daedre Levine invited me to guest lecture to her class, Public Sector Marketing, Strategy and Communications, at Columbia University's School of International and Public Affairs (SIPA), on Saturday. It went very well.
Manolo Blahnik Feminism: the Right to Choos
I call the new feminism Manolo Blahnik Feminism, which is a super-sexual, super-sexy, and super-confusing form of self-empowerment. Ariel Levy calls it "raunch culture" and I believe that it is going to blow up in American women's faces.
An Intimate Dinner for 25
Last night, Carrie, John, Dmitri, Christian, Kyle, and I organized a casual dinner for our 25 closest friends: the Da Vinci Dinner 3.0.

After a long road of playing pool, staying out late, and eating crap, I have returned to my inner jock.

There is no cause so noble that you should sacrifice your children to its altar. Shame on you.
Wearing Your Collar Down is for Poor People
Here is the original Collars Up screed. No, it's not me. I am not I.M. Adick, III.
Godspeed is between 2.9 and 8 knots
A reflection on a two-month sailing trip from Acapulco to Los Angeles on a 42-foot Jeanneau catamaran. Almost two-years-ago now.
Buca di Beppo Washington, D.C.
If you really must abuse yourself with delicious platefulls of spicy Italian food in a round room around a round table with a lazy Susan and a centerpiece in the form of a plaster bust of His Holy Father John Paul II in a lucite box, then you really need to reserve the Pope Room at Buca di Beppo.
America Does Not Go Abroad in Search of Monsters to Destroy
I wrote this on February 14, 2005, but it’s as true now as it’s ever been.
Fake it ‘Til You Make It
There is a slogan I remembered this morning which brought everything together for me: fake it ‘til you make it. A couple years ago I suffered from obesity, high blood pressure, weak knees, and bad habits. I decided to take this pithy slogan and pretended to be a healthy and see what would happen.
Chris the Crêpier
Every man's man has to have at least one thing he cooks—something he brags about and is known for, at least in the family. My dad made "hash" which was a mixture of corned beef hash from a can, pan-fried leftover baked potato from the night before, and sometimes, onion. Many men are known for their waffles or their pancakes, and some are known for their Sunday fry ups. Well, let me tell you about the moment I knew I would make crêpes my signature dish.
Effective PR Blogging
How to develop an effective public relations (PR) blog strategy for your company or organization.
Running Again
I spent my entire evening getting caught up on work at the office and then pulled myself off the workstation and sulked home. I was tired and felt worn out; although I was not fatigued. Before anything else, I pulled on my orange Saucony Jazz runners and some togs, stretched slowly, and then hit the pavement.

There is a slogan I remembered this morning which brought everything together for me: fake it ‘til you make it.
Domke F-2 Reviewed
The most wonderful bag I have ever owned for my cameras. Cannot beat the Domke F-2. I have owned my black canvas F-2 since 1994, which makes my bag 9 and a half years old.
Wireless is Heavenly
I do most of my work from the various charming confines of coffee houses like Murkey Coffee (nee Stompin' Grounds) and Starbucks.
