Thanks to @davedonohue for the idea, I created a Twitter landing page about myself: http://cindywaters.wordpress.com/about/
Good job, Consumer Reports for purchasing Consumerist. Smart way to attract that younger demographic @VentureBeat http://bit.ly/cCgo
Got my pass, plane ticket, and hotel confirmation… officially attending SXSWi this year!
I’ve changed my twitter name to @cindywaters … This transition should be interesting.
Let me clarify, Tripp is not a hippie name. It usually stands for “the third” like Trey. It’s a yuppie name.

2009 Predictions
Because it’s that time of the year and my desk is organized:
The “Safe” Predictions:
1. Google Chrome gets plug-ins. Finally we’ll have access to Delicious, ShareThis, Digg, and what have you in small, lightweight plug-ins. This will help Chrome get Firefox market shares, threatening the open source browser.
2. Apple begins a roller coaster relationship with...

NSFW Craig's List Ad →
Don’t worry folks - he’s not gay. He just wants to mess around and give you his left over imitation crab meat.
Oh, Craig’s List, you never fail to disturb me.
Landed at SFO - looks like the majority of my flight brought back ski gear too
Wow the sushi place at JetBlue upgraded.
Sorry if I am looking a little tired. Fighting zombies until 3am takes a lot out of you
It’s weird to think this might be my last Xmas in CT. It’s always been “home” despite not living there for 9 yrs.
Flying back tomorrow. Is there sushi in the new JetBlue terminal at JFK?
Heading to westchester… I am a masochist apparently
I forget how much I miss everyone until we start talking about getting “Sparked.” (Sparked - to crush a Spark can on someone’s face)
Just got my tickets to SXSW. Plane booked. Tickets Reserved. @ethanwinters reserve yours now! let’s hit up 6th st. w/ Drew and Paul!
80 minute delay. No wifi. No food. SFO is the grinch.
If you take the redeye on Christmas Eve, do you get to play chicken with Santa? Who would win? Packing for SFO to JFK in 5 hours.
The yellow lab in the office reminds me of the two long haired golden/yellow dogs waiting for me in CT.
I feel old. My old campers are posting inapporpiate pictures of themselves in amsterdam on Facebook. Didn’t I teach you guys anything?
Pizza guy was *elated* by the new light at Turk and Baker. So am I… no more waking up to the sound of car crashes.
Getting slightly worried about logistics in getting out to Milwaukee for my cousin’s wedding in January. I hear it’s cold out there

*Disclaimer
I try to avoid going on the Internet after 10:00 pm most days. It’s a precautionary measure so I don’t post silly things like I did last night.
So, I have trouble sleeping. It’s gotten worse over the years so I take ambien. And that’s why whenever you see me online posting after 10:00 (definitely after 10:30) chances are I won’t remember posting it and will...
Ok, I am up. And possibly working. Great, already on ET time
(Being sick + no new TV or interest in movies) / No internets = reading 4 books in a weekend
Okay... this is directed to future Cindy
To be opened on: 12/22/18
Cindy -
Congratulations, you are getting married.* I realize there’s lots of things running around in you head like, “how much time do I need to take off in order plan this wedding?” ” will a winter wedding affect my attendance at TED? “
Right, I know, and a million people are bugging you about the dress, cateriers (go in n out!!! cheap...
Best wake up email: a picture of my dogs in antler ears and a Santa hat looking *thrilled*

It looks like everyone took their crazypills today. It’s one big headache everywhere. Can’t wait to retreat with my book. And full belly
Sorry if you tried to reach me yesterday - was at home internetless, nursing a cold.
Had a blast at Qik’s one year anniversary party. It was great meeting everyone and celebrating an eventful year.
Yeah - I figured I’d write something about my thoughts on yesterday’s craziness: http://is.gd/cr8B
Oh yeah… and see you all at Qik’s Holiday party tonight!
So Internets, why won’t Technorati and VentureBeat load?

Just a few thoughts on this PR Meme
Okay… first off, I’m sorry I’m late to the game here. It’s taken some time to process all that’s been written about embargos, PR, and bloggers.
Second, here’s some background materials for those who may be confused as to what everyone is blowing up about:
1. Michael Arrington’s TechCrunch Post - This is the starting point. Well - I guess the...
