The Pace of NYC

January 25, 2007 · Comments

People use their horns in this city like pepper on a potato. I am in a car heading to Times Square, and traffic has us blocked up like an artery. My day has been meeting 1, meeting 2, meeting 3, and that’s okay. I’m starting to crave Wi-Max to use my laptop while at all these places.

Anyhow…

Good people offset my annoyance.

ChrisBrogan.com runs on the Thesis Theme for WordPress

Thesis WordPress theme

Thesis is the search engine optimized WordPress theme of choice for serious online publishers. If you’re a blogger who doesn’t understand a lot of PHP, Thesis will give a ton of functionality without having to alter any code. For the advanced, Thesis has incredible customization possibilities via Thesis hooks.

With so many design options, you can use the template over and over and never have it look like the same site. The theme is robust and flexible enough not only to accommodate a site like ChrisBrogan.com, but also to enable the site to run far more efficiently than it ever has before.

  • Agreed. Way off topic. Let's get back to Internetty stuff, like mash-ups...

    Speaking of being off topic ....

    You definitely need to keep your eyes peeled open when approaching or leaving the kitchen.
  • Who drives in New York City?
  • I'm glad to hear it's still around. Though, I have to admit to being a little creeped-out by it. I always got the feeling the eyes were following me as I walked through the kitchen.
  • HEY-O!!!

    Yes Jon, we still have that potato photo gracing our walls. We like to remember our roots.
  • P.S. - Speaking of potato porn: Chris, do your mom and dad still have that enormous potato photo gracing the walls at home?

    I'm seeing a pattern emerging here...
  • Say hi to my wife while you're there.

    She's biding time at LaGuardia as I type this.

    Dropped that line of thinking like a hot potato.

  • It's easy to forget that Chris is the son of a simple Hungarian potato farmer. That he used to scarf down potatoes every morning for breakfast, before heading off for a day in the potato fields. That his first ttenage hijinks (a night spent "potato tipping") were fuelled by home made potato vodka. That his first sexual experience was... look, nevermind.

    Who'd recognize his humble, "pomme de terre" roots as he jets off for another high-end 2.0 meeting?

    Hardly anyone, until, of course, he whips out his famed 'Big Book of Potato Metaphors'

    "People use their horns in this city like pepper on a potato."

    "Hot? Like the way people use hot sauce on a potato."

    "Messy? Like when a porn star sprays..."

    I think I've said too much. *wink*
