Yay for cute babies in schwag making social media more accessible to the mainstream. Louis, I'm curious - do you feel this reflects more on the amount of time you spend around social media or the amount of free schwag you get/the companies are willing to dole out? - Cass
Cass, there hasn't been a ton of free schwag to be honest. We bought the Google and FriendFeed gear ourselves. It's due to my being part of social media, and having fun with the whole thing. :-) - Louis Gray
Really? Darn, potential for more free stuff is always good! Well, you all certainly look like you're having fun with social media, online and off :) - Cass
I haven't been as diligent since my baby was born. We live-tweeted and ustreamed the birth, I blogged the pregnancy, etc., but I realized I haven't been keeping everyone up to date on the baby. - Jesse Stay
Good job, I guess, for the fundamental economic work. His op-ed writing surely doesn't deserve any awards. He's the 2nd most annoying NYT writer behind Friedman -- both are equally 'all-knowing' and patronizing in their prose style. - Christopher Galtenberg
I'm suspicious. Why is he using your email address? Unless they're just sending it to the address they already have on file (not realizing it's a different Kevin Fox). You should call and make sure they have the "right" Hyatt rewards number (yours). - Cyrus Lendvay
He's using kevin.fox@gmail.com, an email I don't use, but which I have. Sometimes it's a hotel, sometimes a UPS package, sometimes a conference registration. I don't think it's nefarious, just that he probably has a similar email address but forgets... - Kevin Fox
Maybe he couldn't get kevin.fox@gmail.com and so went for something very close (kevin.foxx maybe) and always forgets? - Benjamin Golub
you should hire a local to leave him a bag of $#it at the front desk. - Dustin
Ben: That's what I suspect. Dustin: Why? I don't harbor him any ill will. I just want him to know he's using my email address by mistake. - Kevin Fox
Better, you should leave him flowers with a note letting him know he's using the wrong email address. - Cyrus Lendvay
I'm sorry, I guess I'm just a little too fresh off of my recent Ebay scam where I was ousted $800 and a lens. - Dustin
Is his address in some of these reservations? At worst you could send SnailMail[tm], an ancient communication type which uses a very inefficient, but generally reliable transport mechanism. If the message is of considerable size, just be sure it's using the African Swallow transport rather than the European. - George Saj
This is happening to me too! There's another Jeanette who continually uses my email address for online purchases. I get her order confirmations all the time. Boy does she buy some crazy stuff... - Jeanette Martinez
This is happening to me too! There's another Kevin Fox who has taken control of my gmail account, and is sending me flowers at every hotel I visit. - Amit Patel
I got an email receipt for another Keith P. the other day for a book on eugenics and nazis and stuff. Oy. - Keith Pelczarski
+1 as well. My notes were from his circle of friends, and I even found the guy due to another address. When his friends still did it a year later, I created filters to reply back to them all with the same note then delete it from gmail. It's gotta be a little confusing to the sender to get it right back... with FW: on it. - Jason Silverstein
jeremiah don't feel bad - one of the bigtime vc's called me "alan" yesterday - so i feel your pain - of course i've never heard of an "analist" either - you are so talented you make up new job titles! - Allen Stern
Some of those expressions look familiar... definitely a Buchheit boy. - Clare Dibble
Which expressions are you referring to, Clare? Are they being curled up, stretching, yawning, just laying there sleeping all day, or all of the above? ;) - April Buchheit
Louis writes - "She was able to see that Sully was just an animated character voiced by a very friendly looking man who happens to like triangles, and she calmed right down. Of course, she loves getting replies, and had to post one as well, thanking Robert for replying to her "bidee-yo."" - Russellreno

Is this from the You Suck at Photoshop guys? - Vince DeGeorge
donnie is back today, maybe the competition made him show up again - Dobromir Hadzhiev
"what email?" "you just powered off the exchange server" "just the letter a" "don't use aol" "salesforce.com was on the right testicle" - Ranjit Mathoda
That was a good use of ten minutes. I'm smiling again. - Russellreno
Ok, after watching the new YSAP - This is much much better - flavor of the week to be sure. - Vince DeGeorge
that's brilliant. and i'm about ti run out of battery power here, and I won't bookmark, adn I'll probably 4get about these guys 4eva. what a shame!!! - john conroy
You mean he rebooted the webserver without submitting a Change Request Application with work procedure and rollback steps to the Change Advisory Board for review at their next weekly meeting? ;-) - Stuart Woodward
:)) I was getting very frustrated with FF's best of the day page, showing mostly meta-links about FF itself all the time. And then this. Once in a while, there is one single link that makes all these page loads worth it :) - Yaniv Golan
LMAO for most of the 10 min. Will fwd to several IT peeps I know...and maybe a few peeps at Twitter. Wonder if they'll think it's funny. - Cathryn Hrudicka
The realism of this thing is just awe-inspiring. That techie behave pretty much like any techie I've ever encountered who's been asked to do a stupid task. And the sales dude is lethally real too. This is Dilbert meets The Office on steroids. Thanks for the link. - Roy Blumenthal

I'm not really amused, but I am impressed that the writer was able to put nearly 1,500 words against this subject. - AJ Kohn
"As with many dubious fashion choices (see: leggings as pants), much of the blame can be placed on American Apparel." True. - Erica Baker
"At Urban Outfitters, there are eight different options for guys, including the "Super V," which boasts a 27-inch neckline from shoulder to hem. A 27-inch neckline." - David Vasileff
I want a "Like" button for all these hilarious comments : ) - Jess Lee
that story is classic - I must admit I find the shirts repulsive and strangely hard not to look at the same time.. are you gay? - ben rogers

Ugh, I physically shuddered the first time I saw one of those American Apparel ads. Was hoping that this trend was going to stay firmly ensconced in the fern bars of Three's Company on TVLand reruns. Some trends should *never* be resurrected. And to the men reading this: ixnay on any thought of the gold medallions. - Casey
Slow news day, although I agree "Women demand men look a certain way". Or else we cannot enter the fern bars of our choice. - Russellreno
"It's, like, another three inches and that's a vest, motherfucker." LOL - Jeanette Martinez
