  1. It's always good to be reminded that each and every one of us has the opportunity of a lifetime (literally).
  2. For those who make jokes in life, the seeds [of who they are] are covered w/ better soil & a higher grade of manure. -Hemingway
  3. The best businesses are those that have figured out how to combine profits, passion, and purpose.
  4. Overhead 2 girls talking: "I don't need to but I never pass one up", in reference to going to the restroom. Or eating chocolate.
  5. Warning: fowl play can lead to foul language at the Zappos office - http://bit.ly/zfowlplay
  6. Fireworks injury yesterday: When opening the packaging, I jammed my thumb trying to break the industrial strength plastic wrap.
  7. Albert Camus said "Freedom is nothing but a chance to be better." He forgot to say it's also a chance to eat a lot of food.
  8. Learned today Poland Spring water comes from Maine, not Poland. Also, Sarah Palin resigned. Not sure which was more shocking.
  9. "If the person you're talking to isn't listening, be patient. Maybe he has a small piece of fluff in his ear." -Winnie the Pooh
  10. Attended entertaining presentation on trends by @ubercool at Zappos HQ. Interesting stuff - http://bit.ly/zubertrends
  11. Gave Senator Reid (Senate Majority Leader) tour of Zappos. He had 5 bodyguards. Because, you know, I could easily overpower 4.
  12. http://twitpic.com/8vt9c - World's largest Zappos box or world's smallest man? Either way, hours of fun for the entire family!
  13. I hope the new box of underwear on my desk is a vendor sample and not a polite hint, like offering gum to someone w/ bad breath
  14. Very cool & creative video+twitter tribute to Michael Jackson (via @Scobleizer) - http://bit.ly/zbillietweets
  15. Running biz based on what worked b4 is like driving by looking in rear view mirror: Works if road ahead exactly like road behind
  16. If you don't trust your employees to tweet freely, it's an employee or leadership issue, not an employee Twitter policy issue.
  17. Spoke on panel this morning about employees tweeting. Zappos employee Twitter policy: "Be real and use your best judgement."
  18. Cab driver keeps waving around both hands whenever he talks to me. I will resist the urge to ask him to describe an accordian.
  19. Fun interview I did w/ Serena Williams last year at @Zappos office! (q's came via Twitter) - http://bit.ly/zserena
  20. 2 hour flight delay leaving Las Vegas. Put another way, I could have watched "Leaving Las Vegas" first and then showed up.
