Colombia (w/ an "O")
It’ll be 25 years since I’ve been back to the country I was born. It’s a mystery even to me why it has taken me so long to finally get back to my roots and explore a country that (I’ve been told) is rich in culture, life and pride. A pride I never quite understood or felt having been raised in the U.S. I suppose, as any transplant would, I never really felt I deserved to be...

iDon't Care About Your iPhone
The iPhone — a seemingly miraculous piece of technology that has shaped the way we look at mobile phones. There isn’t anything this little hand-held device can’t do — yet. Except maybe cause a giant tear in all of human interaction. You can hardly walk down the street without seeing someone with their iPhone, BlackBerry, Drooid, Sidekick glued to their finger tips.

My Blog is Not a Book
Yes, I’m guilty. I have two blogs that I attempt to keep updated as consistently as possible. My closest friends have all begun paving their own careers by starting blogs on topics they actually enjoy writing about and find entertaining. I’ve even begun blogging for my company’s blog about public relations and a huge chunk of my job is monitoring blogs that could potentially blog...

Rottin' Apple (Inc.): Not Biting It
I am a company’s wet dream. I am your early adopter. I am your brand loyalest. I am your biggest brand ambassador. I am a consumer, techie. I like being ahead of the curve, a trend-spotter and trendsetter. Forgive my modesty, but as I continue to think about the evolution of the Apple brand and all of my devotion to it (not to mention $$$) I am becoming increasingly bitter.
It was February...

To Tweet or Not to Tweet
Remember when it was cool updating your AIM status for all your buddy list to witness every minute of the day? You would post “At the gym” or “Having dinner” or “Out with so and so.” Since Facebook statuses and now Twitter, it’s even easier to update our every move for all of our friends and followers, respectively. Yes, it is a completely daunting tasks...

Food (Inc.) for Thought
When I moved to New York two years ago I made it a point to avoid eating at fast food chain restaurants or any restaurant that had more than 3 locations within Manhattan. In 2008, I made it my New Year’s Resolution to give up drinking soda.
The reason behind each of these proclamations was that 1) I felt as though there is such an abundance of mom & pop food options there was no need to...

The Proposal
Last night I attended a “Guys Night Out” media screening of the new Ryan Reynolds and Sandra Bullock movie The Proposal. It was hosted by the Golden Girl’s very own Betty White. She showed up just before the reel started to introduce the movie and thank the room, of mostly all-male assistants, for their hardwork and dedication.
First, the movie. Like every movie these days...
Just walked out of The Proposal. Saw Betty White live up close and personal. See it in theaters next week
At the media screening for the proposal. Cocktails with Betty White?sign me up!
I am attending the media screening for the Bullock & Reynolds movie The Proposal tonight w/ @CMoods.

You Will Shutter
I just got my hands on the new Scorsese film Shutter Island trailer (WATCH IT HERE) starring DiCaprio doing his HAR-rible Boston accent again ala The Departed. It is an all-star cast that includes Ben Kingsley, Mark Ruffalo, Michelle Williams, Emily Mortimer and one of my clients Elias Koteas.
All the elements of a classic Scorsese film appear in the film, most notably the use of his go-to...

In the dreary weather of NYC today, the only question I have is how exactly “rain proof” material keeps the water beading off of me?
I just received a tutorial on Radion 6. The unbelievable mechanism for listening, measuring and engaging in social media.

Death of the AutoTune
Last week the is she or isn’t she a man of a “singer” Lady GaGa released her latest video Paparazzi directed by Jonas Akerlund, husband to stylist B.Akerlund. What’s most striking about the video, because the song sounds like a tweeked version of every other one of her songs (highly computerized, synthesized, jazz-o-sized), is that the Akerlund duo manages to create this...

Why is Nick Cage still Employed?
Last night walking home from the RedLight Children Campaign & Marie Claire event at Japanois, I stumbled upon the filmming of that tired actor, Nicholas Cage’s, new movie “The Sorcerer’s Apprentice.”
I learned this because while riding in a cab down the closed off 17th Street, I stuck my head out the window and asked one of the PA’s if, quote:
