Open Table for Mobile ;-)

Woo-hoo. I'm an avid OpenTable user and have so for years. The points are fine but the sheer convenience of the service -- being able to browse good restaurants, book exact times, change your mind a 100 times all without a phone call to a reservations line. 

Now it's mobile - mobile.opentable.com or even better, the app for your Blackberry or LG phone. Can't wait to try it.

Back from Cannes

Back from the Cannes International Advertising Festival.

A week of seeing and talking about work, drinking and mayhem. None of our stuff made shortlists but our expectations were low this year. Just this year.

In fact, the only worry I had all week was whether or not I'd make it from the bar to the toilet.

Photo is of Napolean's summer palace, at Eden Roc, where we had a ww work dinner.

I didn't blog because I twitter'd. So there. Some photos at my flickr album.

Off to Cannes Lions Festival

Leaving tonight for the Cannes International Advertising Festival, in Cannes, France. Cringing with excitement. Will be there about 4 days. Last year went for too long so this year is abbreviated.

Among other activities, will be twittering regularly and posting to flickr.com. Hope also to see fantastic work from around the world in film, press, cyber, direct/promo, radio and more. Yet simultaneously minimize ad-douche encounters. We'll see how that goes.

Night device

Oh no this is the new night retainer. It's kinda fancy and elaborate. Surprisingly light. Must dunk in warm water before use. It's a living thing. Hello new jaw line in 6 sweet weeks.

Taste the mint

Really loving mint.com, financial management software. 

It's more than a regular (which I was a big fan of 10 years ago), but it also spots trends and makes recommendations along the way. It's alive. Like your money. 

Try it out.

Ezra, it's not even summer yet

As it gets warmer, my dog gets more tired. He follows me around room-to-room but he also eschews (nice use of eschews i know!) fabric for colder wood floors. We have a lot of fans in our place -- ceiling fans, floor fans and a/c when it gets actually hot.
