Tony Romo isn’t exactly behaving like a media darling.

The Digitel receives some love from Patrick Properties:

Oh, and must tell you how much I admire the folks at The Digitel. They have/had their fingers on the pulse of all the CFW brouhaha: Twittering like mad, LIVE blogging, videos, the works. Great job, guys.

Hugging the Coast is singing G-U-A-C-A-M-O-L-E.

We Have T-Shirts and Charleston Has a Fashion Week

Michael:

In another life, I recall weakly shuffling up to the edit console, still wearing my coat and scarf, and carrying a box of tissues and a bottle of cough syrup. I plopped down, coughed pathetically, and turned to my executive producer searching for a little sympathy. I received precisely none.

That’s one of those times when you make that silent vow that someday you will be your own boss, and when that day comes… Well,when that day comes the only difference will be that there’s no executive producer sitting there. Everything else, including the deadline, will be the same.

Manny the florist is rubbing elbows in DC.

The other side of the ‘rents on facebook:

This is so not fair.

She never let’s me have any fun.

Why couldn’t she stay over on myspace doing her teeny bopper thing?

Why does she have to come over here and get all up in my business?

If you’ve enjoyed Andra’s Poistus Points videos, she teamed up with Patrick Properties, but all we’re getting right now is a hint, and a picture of King Cake.

Satya shares his father’s best advice:

The examples I use are literal, because those are the contexts we encountered them in. He’s a technical/mechanical person, an electronics guy, so that’s what we usually talk about. Soldering, hanging drywall, and stuff. Except we didn’t have drywall.

Chuck will soon see the big 7-0 and has a wish.

Dan asks, “Who’s Watching the Watchdogs?”

Pedicab Man has a new ride.

Was this one case sensitive:

But, like everyone else in this computer-happy world, I have passwords coming on top of passwords. I even have a computer program to keep track of all these passwords. And, yeah, there’s even a password to work that program. A password to access all my passwords.

When discussing equality, I’m not sure this is what most of us have in mind.

Today’s parting look is from Syd:

We’re not there yet, but the forecast is for warmer weather this week. I can feel that collective energies are gathering to bring forth new growth. And with it, there is a spiritual reawakening that is starting to occur within me as well. Life is good.
