This just in to Groundhog Day World Headquarters….

Brahahahaha: “Long-tail webloggers, Dave Rogers, Al Hawkins and Doug Miller today met for an emergent, flat, virtual conference using the multi-person audio chat facility built into Apple’s flat-world dominating Tiger OS.” read the rest.

There’s some truth to that buzzword-ridden sentence 🙂

Hope you had a wonderful Mother’s Day

We had a great one down Wildwood, NJ with Richelle’s family, taking part in the May car show. Dad’s (Richelle’s dad) 64 Impala SS drew some crowds and plenty of compliments. I gotta post some pictures for you to understand why – it’s gorgeous. We took Xena on the boards with us (risking a $80 fine). I wanted to take her to the beach but thought the crowds on the boardwalk would offer us cover and they did. Xena did great. She stuck by me and Richelle and walked very calmly among the sea of people making their way. The tramcars kinda freaked her out, but she handled herself well. She was a bit of a star – everyone thinks she’s Benji – and if you ask me, she’s cuter than Benji! Freakishly smart too. Wish the weekend was longer. Back to work.

Speaking of Attytood, the podcast and Will Bunch’s blog make the Daily News among the most forward thinking, risk taking newspapers online in the region and beyond.
