Bedfellows

Blaise Pascal: “If all men knew what others say of them, there would not be four friends in the world.”

Jason Calacanis: “So, the big show down in Gotham went down last night. … It was a great discussion and as many of you know Nick and I are, in fact, friends.”

Nick Denton: “Calacanis, who did most of the talking last night … is his own worst enemy, far more lethal than I could ever be.”

What I miss

Hilarious deconstruction of the weblog cool kids in TMN today.

I picked up nine business cards that night. I was confused as to what I was supposed to do with them. Do I call these numbers when I need something blogged? Hey, we met at Royal Oak, and I was thinking, Yo La Tengo is cool. Can you blog that for me?

Anecdote (true story)

Guy works at Citibank as a full-time employee with insistent bosses. His wife is about to have their baby and he sets aside time off to be a good husband and new dad.

The time comes, the wife goes into labor, and Citibank calls him into work! He has to spend the day in the office with just an hour or so granted for him to run back to the delivery room and see mother and child. The following day he gets brought into work again, this time for a meeting.

When all was said and done, mom and dad had a happy new baby boy.

They named him Chase.

Gmail me

I’m beta testing Gmail. Send me a message, davidwertheimer at gmail dot com. So far it looks pretty sweet. (Review to follow.)

Stupid pet trick

My dog likes to ride the luggage cart in my apartment building, standing or sitting and watching the world go by as he relaxes. It’s cute, but the real coup will be when I teach him to skateboard.
