Sorry to miss Brad Templeton's fun Superbowl commercials party, but I'm still digging out from under a blizzard of work. http://www.templetons.com/brad....
RT @Jason_Pollock 41 Interesting Super Bowl Facts & Figures http://www.tulsaworld.com/sportse... #SB44.
Ah, sweet irony... the judge in California's important Prop. 8 trial is gay!
Look forward to watching the Superbowl commercials today. Advertising at its best and worst!
Toyota wins the booby prize for rapid brand tarnishing! They don't just lose $2B in repair costs, but billions more in brand devaluation.
The iPad is Apple's ticket to rule again in the education market... bye-bye textbooks, hello iPads! With an educational discount, of course.
Why all the iPad haters? You don't get it. It's a game changing device that will be widely copied, but not equaled... just like the iPhone!
The first Mac was flawed, the first iPhone was flawed, so of course the first iPad is, too. But they all revolutionized the market.
Attn Apple cynics! The iPad is awesome for a 1.0 product. Of course it will have a camera, but it's more for looking at pix than taking pix.
@carr2n a decent bag of snakes?
I want my iPad!
Bought over 20 varieties of Oreos for @lisapadilla's talk about marketing at Girls in Tech today: Oreos exploit every cookie niche! #gitcc.

Yikes! KNTV news story says Yelp! lets advertisers delete negative reviews, and worse, if you don't advertise they zap the positive ones!

Got a Flip ultra HD for xmas from @lisapadilla... it's a LOT better than the new smaller Flip (better video & sound). So much for progress!
Apple thinks the "iSlate" (or maybe "iGuide"?) will sell better than the iPhone, with 10 million sold this year. Can they really do it?
Looking forward to some cool new products this year... like Apple's "iSlate" on Jan 26th, better Androids, and, of course, Grabbit ;-).
California trans-fat ban goes into effect today... about time! I can't believe the idiots who are against it... do they have a death wish?
