  1. Why don't you hook it up for all the dz.commers so we can get names early too? If you knew what it took for me to get petershankman - and that's my fan page - I still have to get my own personal page just like everyone else... It's gonna be such a clusterfuck... 5-1 odds the site goes down. _______________ "Why'd you track away at 7,000 feet?" "Even in freefall, I have commitment issues."
  2. Was funny - When the interview ended, Rick Sanchez said to me off air "So are you on TV?" I said, "No, why?" He goes "You sure have a lot of followers!" Hee. _______________ "Why'd you track away at 7,000 feet?" "Even in freefall, I have commitment issues."
  3. All: Facebook is opening up names to people come this Saturday, 12:01am EST. So instead of being "facebook.com/049937929379283e, you can be facebook.com/people/skymamma" or whatever. I've done some work with them, and I got mine a little early - gotta tell you, it's kinda cool to be able to say "Yeah, just find me at http://www.facebook.com/petershankman More info can be found from Facebook's blog, here: http://blog.facebook.com/blog.php?post=90316352130 Most importantly, just make sure you get yours, then start stealing other people's. :) _______________ "Why'd you track away at 7,000 feet?"

  4. Dude, no harm, no foul. You'll get there. My first one I look like an idiot, I went out backwards (ass plunge) and remember saying "oh my God." Then it was awesome. :) _______________ "Why'd you track away at 7,000 feet?" "Even in freefall, I have commitment issues."
  5. Welcome to pure happiness, utter bliss, increased productivity, and in general, a better sense of well being. You'll like it here. We have cookies. _______________ "Why'd you track away at 7,000 feet?" "Even in freefall, I have commitment issues."

    HBD GFD

    A few weeks ago, I went to volunteer at Best Friends Animal Society in Utah. I taught them how to use social media. I like to think I made a difference in helping them better use SocMed to help their fundraising and branding efforts. I know I would have never heard of Best Friends had it not been for BFD. So in that way, as well as thousands of other ways, she continues to live on. _______________ "Why'd you track away at 7,000 feet?" "Even in freefall, I have commitment issues."
  7. Really? That rocks!!! _______________ "Why'd you track away at 7,000 feet?" "Even in freefall, I have commitment issues."
  8. When it does, you will LOVE it. I'm SO in love with my 5Dm2 - AWESOME. CAMERA. _______________ "Why'd you track away at 7,000 feet?" "Even in freefall, I have commitment issues."
  9. Was in LA for the weekend on biz, and managed to sneak down to Perris for a jump on Sat. Took a friend who wanted to do a tandem. Didn't have gear, or a log book, or anything - Everyone at Perris went out their way to help, from calling my last jump DZ to confirm I was current to even teaching me a few packing tricks - Super, super cool people there. Only got to make one jump before I had to bail back for work, but everyone couldn't have been nicer. Truly a class act - how skydiving is supposed to be. Thanks, all. :) -Peter PS: I posted a quick shot of her tandem video on my facebook page: http://www.facebook.com/petershankman - Thanks again! :) _______________ "Why'd you track away at 7,000 feet?"

  10. Hey gang: I'm gonna be in San Fran on Weds night, and there'll be a (don't laugh) Tweetup at a local watering hole. Would love to see anyone who wants to attend.

  11. All well. Propofol for the WIN! Best line: "Yeah, you were really clean, we were able to get all the way into your small intestine!" Lovely. But as far as I can tell, I'm healthy and don't need another one for several years. Woot! _______________ "Why'd you track away at 7,000 feet?" "Even in freefall, I have commitment issues."
  12. Drink about 100 ounces of Gatorade mixed with about 2 bottles of laxative. Don't leave the house. Entire day. _______________ "Why'd you track away at 7,000 feet?" "Even in freefall, I have commitment issues."
  13. Is the prep work you have to do on Sunday. Just thought I'd share. _______________ "Why'd you track away at 7,000 feet?" "Even in freefall, I have commitment issues."

  17. I'm in Birmingham, AL right now, and It's cloudy as hell - why do you people LIVE in the South?! I'll take a snowstorm in Manhattan any day over a hurricane. Seriously, though - stay safe! _______________ "Why'd you track away at 7,000 feet?" "Even in freefall, I have commitment issues."
  18. Ironically, I Tweeted about Flutter on Thursday!
  19. Lots of reasons for it, m'dear. 1) Updates in immediacy. I run Help A Reporter Out. I connect journalists with sources around the world, all free. When journalists have urgent queries that can't wait for email, the Interruptive technology of Twitter (to cell phones, to berries, to text, to IM, all in one unit) proves massively invaluable - CNN can get to my 38,000 followers in one heartbeat, and get their answers. 2) Answers in immediacy. From "What's the guy who played the father in "Eight is Enough?" to "I'm at the corner of 9th and 48th - is there a good Mexican place around here," it's universal Google - but from an audience who knows me a little better than Google, so the answers are better, and more personalized. 3) It's amusement: "Overheard @ bar from drunk blonde: So yeah, remember that guy who I hooked up with who had the penis that looked like a carrot?" Sharing that is fun - people find it amusing, it's opening up a window into your world that otherwise wouldn't exist. 4) (One of the most important) It's immediate brand management for companies, celebrities, brands, and yes, even regular people. Follow ComCastCares on Twitter - the next time your Comcast cable goes out, or the cable guy is two hours late, Tweet them. They'll respond within seconds and fix the problem. Last time that "within seconds" and "cable company" were used in the same sentence? I think.. never. All brands can use Twitter Search and search on their company name, CEO's name, product names, etc. In fact, they're complete idiots if they don't. It's an immediate, free focus group. It's total competitive intelligence, all for the taking. 5) It's quicker news than the news. Twitter broke the Hudson River flight, twitter broke the Angels' player death. If someone shows up in the search feature under "trending" and they've not been there recently, they've either died or gotten arrested. 6) Finally, it's fun! Search on some terms that interest you, then start following those people. You might make some new friends, or find people waiting at the same airport, delayed just like you are. Instant drinking companion.
  20. You have no idea. Two months ago I replaced it with a memory foam mattress. :-) Your bed is so comfortable, I look forward to sleeping in it again! _______________ "Why'd you track away at 7,000 feet?" "Even in freefall, I have commitment issues."
  21. 16 days. Second longest biz trip EVER. They used to be a lot, but all like, 1, 2 days, 3 max. Never realized how LONG 16 days is when they're all in different hotel rooms. I love my own bed. :) _______________ "Why'd you track away at 7,000 feet?" "Even in freefall, I have commitment issues."
  22. Just wanna say, LisaH sends the COOLEST snail-mail cards in the whole world. After the first one, you learn to open them up in the hall and shake them out first, before bringing them into the apartment... But she's truly a rare gem.

    Zero-G

    No way did I pay that much. I got a media rate.
