@laurencook Funny you ask! I am not here for the jazz fest, I am here for Labor Day Renaissance Weekend: http://ping.fm/MySVM

What is the elevation of Aspen and how long does it take to normalize completely?

I took a brisk walk around Aspen and I just recognized that I am at altitude.

Wow. Everyone in Aspen is super-fit, super-gorgeous, super-rich, super-healthy.

I am currently on a Bulldog Reporter PR University audio conference as a panelist: http://ping.fm/gEH1y

I am just happy I didn't die last night. From Denver to Aspen, my bloody Nokia n95 GPS turn-by-turn navigation tool took me to Aspen through the treacherous mountains instead of via the highway -- at 1AM... every turn found me bearing down on a fucking deer or sheep! My Nokia prefers the scenic route! Ha ha!

@PinkGarden My conference is sort of a family reunion, a brainstorming/cross-pollination session and a think tank: http://ping.fm/RYvnt

I am getting all this SPAM from reliable people on Facebook: "Hej. Your ass looks not bad in this video.: http://youmega..." and "Hey funny. Who and when made this video of you?!!!: http://m%65ga" Have you been getting it too?

Sorry, the link didn't go through -- here's why I failed Hillary Clinton: http://ping.fm/RYjnV

I really really really like Hillary Clinton, Clinton family and Clinton White House -- here's a dirty secret of mine -- Hillary, I failed you: http://ping.fm/RYjnV

Bill Clinton mouthed, "I love you, I love you, I love you" and is almost in tears. However, Bill is very aware of his Kunderaian "Immortality" -- aware of the invisible eye and the ever-present camera.

Chelsea Clinton: "My hero and my mother, Hillary Rodham Clinton"

I talked to the high school girls who are practicing a routine here at Starbucks and they told me they never hire choreographers any more ... they steal from YouTube! :) Awesome

These super friendly high school dancing girls are going to YouTube to get ideas for dance routines. Social Media rocks here in Topeka, Kansas!

I wonder how YouTube effects the quality of regional and rural dance teams and troupes? Do they evolve and improve faster through cross-pollenation?

There are two super cool and super friendly highschool girls here at Starbucks practicing their dance routine.

I am swooning because @HeidiMiller mentioned me on Diary of a Shameless Self Promoter #106 13 minutes in. http://ping.fm/K9cQx

The subprime lending practices of Countrywide either proves that American are morons or that we intentionally stuck it to the man. Kudos, if it is the latter.

I have been a terrible dad to http://ahllc.eu -- my Drupal install was all messed up and my sitemap.xml wasn't working and so now all is shiny shiny!

This Starbucks at Topeka is playing Reggae and has the feel more of the "hip" coffee shops I chilled at when I taught writing in Kalamazoo.

I am "hoteling" at a Starbucks off the Interstate, catching up on some work for my firm before heading forever Westward.

We did a comparisin between "Mostly Martha" and "No Reservations" and liked both; however, the US remake has no guts, we decided. You will be rewarded for seeing "Mostly Martha"
