Now that "Runway" and Kenley are over I need to know where y'all stand on "Top Design" Eddie. He is a piece of work, eh?

I am at the Webby conference in Laguna Beach. It is total folklore that people who come to web conferences are geeky; it ain't so. There are some really interesting white hot webheads gathered in Laguna and the entire operation is under the purview of Rodger Berman, aka Rachel Zoe's Rodger.

If you watched "The Rachel Zoe Project", then you know Rodger isn't going to pull together some hokey pokey group of people. That being said, it is my understanding that the other conferences concurrently underway down the hall are for Waste Management goulies and NRA freakazoids. What if some of the freakazoids and goulies mistake the web thing for their conference? Would the 'net crash?

Oh and since I am at this Webby conference, I should mention some digital stuff that I've been finding particularly WebWeWeavable....

I spent hours online 35,000 feet in the air courtesy of American Airlines yesterday. It's a truly wild, horrible and tempting invasion of "me" time. I used to count on NY-LA as 5 1/2 undisturbed hours of work and contemplation. Yesterday I was on videochat with my parents and obsessively checking the HuffPo for any and all election news. I have REAL mixed feelings about internet in the air. Keep the skies clean, I say!

I've become completely obsessed with the Huffington Post in the last few months. I've always been a big Drudge guy but HuffPo does it better and bigger and I actually agree with their POV. They've made Drudge seem like a thing of the past. He barely seems to update his site anymore, by the way.
