  1. Like in NYC, I've found Parisians to be very warm and friendly. The stereotypes are way off.
  2. Not only is this my first July 4 out of the country, but I'm spending it in *France.* I bet this goes on my permanent record.
  3. Last night's London drinkup attracted an awe-inspiring group of geeks, thanks to everyone who came out. Next stop: Eurostar to Paris!
  4. The quality of speakers at Activate Summit is stunning, and my talk was well-received. Great day. Huge thanks to the organizers. #activate09
  5. Amused by mail from Waxy readers pointing out that EveryBlock *wasn't* funded by the shadowy company that created KITT and Michael Knight.
  6. "Mainstream media suffers from ADD; new media suffers from OCD." -- Arianna Huffington #activate09
  7. @clopin No, it was deliberate. It's a shadowy flight into the dangerous world of a man who does not exist.
  8. Lovely day at the Tate Modern, with Eliot interpreting modern art and sketching his own. Soon: The Activate Summit speaker's dinner.
  9. @KidsComics The social networks you use (Twitter, Facebook, etc), your own blog, and then reaching out to local media and relevant blogs.
  10. @KidsComics Success hinges on your own friends/supporters, not the small (but growing) Kickstarter community. Have you been promoting it?
  11. One fringe benefit of visiting the UK: finally being able to use Spotify. Very nicely designed, like a free, unlimited iTunes.
  12. It seems like every restaurant and shop in London plays a steady stream of club music. Even chemists and toy stores.
  13. Just had an odd chat with a guy paying Mechanical Turk to comment on his new blog. It's like paying for spam because you like getting email.
  14. Getting choked up watching classic MJ music videos with a gate full of people at JFK.
  15. Thanks for a great time, NYC -- sorry to everyone I missed. Next stop: Red eye to London for the Guardian's Activate Summit!
  16. Playing in the pouring rain at the Bleecker Park playground. Feels like Portland.
  17. Just received word from my friends at EcoCN that Gmail and Google are now blocked in China, as of 30 minutes ago.
  18. Funny, Gordon spotted Yahoo! advertising Upcoming.org on their sign in Times Square last week: http://bit.ly/OSrI7
  19. Knocking back beers at Ginger Man, a little taste of SXSW here in NYC.
  20. Amazing Father's Day, NYC-style: Bacon and Bloody Mary brunch at Freemans, cupcakes and shave ice at Dessert Club. Next: videogames & beer!
