Laying in bed with a sexy boy snoozing next to me; I’m sipping agua mineral. It’s a king-sized bed with a little veranda onto a manicured garden, beyond which is a lagoon. It’s bright and hot as hell out there, so we have the white lattice sliding doors shut, and we are atop a fluffy mess of white sheets and half a dozen white pillows, bathed in filtered afternoon Mexican-Caribbean sunlight. Above us, the ceiling is a tall, arched two stories high — curved and painted that classic, beautiful deep Mexican blue, with white textured walls making the arch more distinct.
I have the iBook on my hips, like my bikini.
Earlier, I was onstage in a cute brown Bebe outfit, disagreeing with Robert Scoble and telling a room full of high-level, personal-plane owning marketing and advertising senior execs that they needed to stop trying to cram traditional ads into 2.0, that community was king in these spaces, accountability is a value, that trying to buy their way into democratized communication spaces like Twitter would never, ever work, that they would be ridiculed. I explained why. I name-checked Blip and Laughing Squid. I live check to check, and I feel pretty damn good.
* Hacker Boy Cabana Boy shot this shaky video of the entire panel. The visual quality is low and it’s very long — 45 minutes, but if you’re interested in all this, it’s worth it. Set the page to load, press ‘play’ and then pause, then come back when it’s loaded and ready to listen to. It was too big to squeeze into iMovie HD to extract the sound (I wanted to just put up an MP3), but I’m glad I have a record of this, yay! For some reason, I instantly liked Greg Bartalos, and while Rich Jenkins and Paul Maidment seemed like some gruff Deadwood characters, they grew on me with their thoughtful remarks.
* I’m on a hot list on ABC now — sexy sex educator and author Ducky Doolittle was asked for her 10 multimedia sex ed sources and she listed me (along with beloved alum, Viviane). Thanks, Ducky!
* I’ve been LOL geeked! ZOMG!
* I want a wiki that’s like a blogger family tree so I can keep track of everyone and their associations/projects. I hope someday soon to write an article about same-sex mail order brides. Now, I am going to spackle with sunscreen and get in a body of water. Oh, weird — it’s Cinco de Mayo. More fun pictures to come!
