Up North (& Out There doing it)

Nothing but fun

Foursquare is exploding and just can't get much hotter in the media. I've been doing it since October and there is only one way to put it -- it's fun for some strange and addictive reason.

But all of the sudden, after having the entire 'world' as my oyster and being the Mayor of just about whatever wherever I went, folks are catching on.  This morning, I got this note that bothered me waaaaay more than it should.

Hey there -

Sorry for the bad news, but Alicia M. has just replaced you as mayor of Black Cow Coffee Co!

Don't take it too hard - a few more checkins and you could be back on top...

The only redemption, checked in at the Bagel shop later and boo-yah! Alicia M. got the same note about me!

I know, I know, Zoolander is thinking it right now -- doesn't this guy have more things to worry about and I don't know how he has so much time on his hands to even think about junk like this.

Pres. Bush did Storycorp with his Sister

Think of him what you will, I like the fact that President Bush participated in Storycorp with his sister doing the interviewing.  That is very cool.

Rather Incredible Day

Really quite impressive all of the buzz, on line and off line interaction that has been going on surrounding this election. I know that it would have been historic if either party had won, but it was really refreshing to see so many people so passionate about it.

However, it does still look like voter turn out, IMO, was less that it really should have been.

And I have to say, McCain showed quite a bit of class in his concession speech. It is very curious to think if he had showed that type of character throughout the election, would the results have been different (and that's a really mind blowing way to think about this election)

Have a kid, Starbucks for free

Went to Starbucks to send off some email. Being that crazy guy carrying the baby carrier with no baby in it yet (still at the hospital), get in conversation with two med students about baby being born on Friday -- get Free Starbucks from counter girl -- it was her 27th birthday on Friday too.

Out There Doing It

For some reason, it seems like life is really hitting full throttle. I'm out there doing everything, things I've just thought about, things I wanted to do for years -- just things in general. It seems like it's just too good of an opportunity not to pull together in one place.
