Reposting our Communications office’s news stories to the social media outlets (Twitter, Facebook, blogs, etc.) with the click of a button.
“Darth Vader was frammed” …as seen on a t-shirt on a Disney movie Emily was watching.
shooting for inbox zero. Only 142 more to process.
Design tip to expand paths rather than redraw in:
Fireworks: MODIFY>ALTER PATH
Illustrator: OBJECT>EXPAND
I have, quite possibly, been waiting on Photoshop for the entire day.
Emily created her own mashup: prilly = pretty + really. She’s so prilly smart!
Finished some more movies & about to upload some photos to Flickr: http://bit.ly/erflic
Took off my dad disguise. Heading out for some Samurai sushi and then to Cullens for some jazz. Can you believe it???
Trying to edit photos, but the kids & chores won’t let me.
Processing home movies & throwing them at Vimeo. Still waiting on iLife ‘09 to show up!
Battling a hard drive on my Macbook Pro that wants to die.
Tweetie (for Twitter) on the iPhone just got 10x cooler once I realized I can swipe over a post to get more options.
While looking at a baby doll catalog…
Emily: “Daddy, I need to buy all these babies.”
Me: “Why?”
Emily: “Because I need to love them.”
TIP: Half price fajitas start at 5… get there *early*! (they were awesome, BTW)
Heading up to Pappasitos for their Wed. night fajitas for two special (1/2 price until Feb., I think). Hope they aren’t crowded!
Let’s see if Obama made my drive home any easier.
Emily: “Can we watch Caillou, Daddy?”
Me: “Sure, honey, we can watch it tonight.”
Emily: “But I want to watch it to-NOW!”
Back in Houston & waiting at Carrabba’s for a friend’s birthday dinner to start (sans kids!).
The chicks are still sleeping. Taking suggestions on indoor, family activities in good ol’ San Antone.
Just chased my Starbucks with a Monster. I hope that’s ok because there aren’t any hospitals on I-10 (but there is a super-cool Buc-ee’s).
Emily: “Daddy, where is the trip? I don’t see it!”
driving the family to San Antonio while they drive me crazy.
Prepping a Keynote on Social Media (seems like I’ve been doing this for weeks, right?).
Meeting’s over. I talked waaaaaaaay too much (as usual). Thanks, Willie!
I think Willie Nelson would have a big laugh knowing I was listening to him while preparing for a corporate meeting.
In the kitchen today… Emily: “Hey, I smell something.” Me: “What do you smell?” Emily: “I smell gum. Blue gum. Do you want some?”
Emily, while talking on a fake phone, said, “Do you believe that? Yes, I believe that, too”.
Pretty cold out this morning. Could use some of Mom’s oatmeal she used to make me!
Listening to Willie’s Teatro… the only thing better than Red Headed Stranger.
One of my teammates asked about setting up WordPress, so here’s just about everything you need to get started with WP http://budurl.com/n4rn
AT&T doesn’t like making money. They just let $2000 walk out the door because of their difficult iPhone purchase procedures.
about to go buy a couple of iPhones (guess who they’re for?). Sad when you have to *convince* AT&T to let you spend more money with them.
“Crap. That’s you say when you spill something.” Note to self: Daddy needs to watch his mouth when he’s around [his] kids.
helping my teammates understand social media.
on my way into work for the first time in 2009.
