Random Pics

Some Random pics from the week/weekend. Happy Memorial Day! Also, it was fleet week, but I didn't get any pics with sailors =( Enjoy!

What a great thing.

Central Park! Finally it's warm. Central Park is like the beach in Cali. As soon as it's nice out, everyone goes and lays out, plays games and picnics. How great.

Some random guys couldn't get their camera to work so I told them I'd take a pic and email it to them. I'm so nice.

Juli with the one-nutters!

Texts During Dinner

Text messaging, by the way, is no better than carrying on a phone conversation at the dinner table or anything else for that matter. Please do not make the mistake of assuming that because you can press those little buttons or that the new track scrolling tool is silent that it is OK to do so.

On the contrary, aside from being improper BlackBerry etiquette, most people look downright silly holding their little machines and struggling to spell words and abbreviate sentences with that little blinking cursor driving them crazy. If the message simply cannot wait, excuse yourself to an empty hallway or room and handle your business there.

New Orleans

So we went to New Orleans for the publisher summit last week. It was a great time. We got to see the city, do some charity work, network with some of our publishers and attend some insightful meetings. New Orleans is still in the process of recovery from Katrina and there is evidence of this all over the city- from broken windows in buildings to abandoned boats randomly on the side of the road. It was an amazing experience to hear first hand from some of the victims and I'm glad we got the chance to help the recovery effort- even if it was only for a few hours. All in all it was a great time. Just watch out for those hurricanes and no, I'm not talking about the storms.

Sightseeing Day

So for some crazy reason Chris and I decided to be tourists on Sunday and walked all over the place. Literally. We even walked across the Brooklyn Bridge and then to hipsterville. It was a very interesting experience. But we are so funny, so it was a blast. Thanks for tour guiding me CV.
