Distribution
I’ve said it once, but I’ll say it again. The future is all about distribution.
My problem with Groupon and Living Social
This applies to restaurants specifically. Most of the discounts are for 50% off and Groupon takes 50% of the dollars paid on the deal. This means that most businesses receive only 25% of what a normal customer would have paid. Are there many (if any) businesses that can still make a profit at a 75% discount? Let’s use today’s deal at The Finnish Bistro as an example.

RT @HalfPintIngalls: Pa says the best bears defense is just to keep the stable locked at night! #bears
Nobody makes me laugh quite like @Johnny_bones.
I don’t understand why the building maintenance people have to be blocking half the kitchen during lunch. #grrrr
Couldn’t go back to bed. Neighbors went to bed 30 minutes ago. I won’t be held accountable for making ridiculous amounts of noise in 2 hrs.
Playing with the “Flow” color palette in Excel today. I make the best spreadsheets.
At this exact moment my cousin who’s living in Qatar is going to the Iran/Iraq soccer game. #sojealous
I miss reliable, thoughtful journalism that’s based in reality and doesn’t sensationalize.
Seems like all ad voice work lately is being done by grizzled sounding men or Tim Allen/Tim Allen sound-alikes.
Line to see Social Network at Riverside Theater had to have been 200 people deep.

I have a week of vacation to use by the end of March. What should I do?
Production, “I still need a week. Me, “What if we don’t get it?” Production, “Then we vomit.”

Another 8 hours in the car today which will take my vacation total to 26.

Whenever @kathy4prez has @samanthadean7 over, my family always spends the night in stitches. Good times.
Just confronted Kurt from the bachelorette at this bar as brig a rep I work with. I could die and yet he said I looked familiar. So there.
I think I can safely say that a day does not go by that I don’t amaze myself by being so white and so nerdy for numbers.
My level of irritation knows no bounds this week.
RT @lastguytoknow My mustache for Movember is starting to fill in.
Just LOL’d at a Car Talk joke. I swear that I’m 26.
For the record, I dislike these type of events.
It’s hard to care so much about advertising when it means so little.
I’m now up to two fake Twitter accounts, @shitmyrazsays or @lastguytoknow. I’m collecting them like domain names, I guess.
After months of dreaming, @johnny_bones and I have finally created the Twitter account @lastguytoknow. It’s a proud day. Please contribute!
It’s nice to live in an age where my vocabulary is not limited by my spelling abilities.
It’s late on a Friday afternoon and typing “multiple interactions” in my online reports made me giggle.
Last night I had a dream that @placentahat transformed into a kitten in order to spy on someone. Let’s see how her day goes.
Oh GAWD, I was watching “Easy Yoga for Arthritis”. Where’s that remote?

I’m now the Foursquare mayor of my shitty hometown bar in which the owner once inferred I was fat and I heard it. #atleastidontlivehere
So my family just forced me to google “cojones” and read the definition aloud. I’ll cherish this memory forever.
My family just broke out singing Conjunction Junction in unison. #thanksgiving

Valuable lesson: All the partiers in high school become real prudes in their mid-twenties.
One of my coaches in high school just said, “You still look 16.” um, thanks? I guess? I’m going to go over here.
