Calacanis Freaks

Yo, Jason, chill. Jason McCabe Calacanis, crowned prince of the dot.com boom, survivor, arrogant visionary, fledgling poker player, yo-yo dieter, is so bummed by the social media thing he is turning off comments on his blog. Too much Facebook. Too many connections that lead to other connections that lead to nowhere. Too many supposed time savers that are really time wasters. Although Jason now lives high in Brentwood he is from Bay Ridge, Brooklyn, where I grew up. He doesn’t like all these people in his face even though his style is totally in your face. I get it. There’s nothing to say anyway. I say we all go the way of Mike Gravel. SEE POST BELOW.
Speak Up …
Senator Mike Gravel is running for President. He has something to say. He is breaking through the clutter. What is he saying? Listen closely.
Shakespeare? Ripples to infinity? Senator Gravel explains “the rock.”

The big news this week was that Hillary Clinton displayed a hint of cleavage on the Senate floor. This elicited a major story in the Washington Post and reaction from news organizations, bloggers and candidates. Supposedly, the sight of cleavage sent Patrick Leahy and Arlen Specter to gasping fits and required respirators to be brought in so the Senate could continue its endless interrogation of Attorney General Alberto Gonzales, who fortunately could not recall the incident. “The Cleavage Conundrum,” as the New York Times calls it, continues to dominate the presidential campaign. — Read the rest of the story on Strumpette

I poked Amanda Chapel this week. I was respectful, took proper precaution and I think it was good, if not brief, for both of us. Emboldened by my first successful poke on Facebook I began to poke others. With all this indiscriminate poking going on it’s no wonder that this online community is propagating at an alarming rate. A “poke” on Facebook is equivalent of saying ‘yo, wassup’ and then moving on until you get some kind of response. You poke, gather friends, join groups, add all kinds of widgets and doohickeys to your profile and something is supposed to happen. Your life changes? You find the perfect mate, the perfect job, zing! make that connection you dreamed of your whole life? Or you simply waste more time futzing around the Net. — See the rest of the story on Strumpette
New York Times Gaga Over Rupert’s Yogurt at Boldface Business Confab
Since I was not invited to Herb Allen’s annual media mogul shindig in Sun Valley last week (I am sure it was an oversight)
I tried to surreptitiously join the boldface business gang through, you know, the media. Why not? Just Rupert Murdoch, Harvey Weinstein, Terry Semel, Sergey Brin, Barry Diller, Anderson Cooper, Jeff Bezos… and me. I would hitch a virtual ride on a private jet (no plebian time-share for me) and carve up the world media pie and decide how all the people of the world will see, hear, and feel all their information, news and entertainment for the foreseeable future. What fun in the sun. — See the rest of the story on Strumpette, published 07.15.2007
Why We Should All Feel Bad About Rubenstein’s Cyber Mugging
Terrible, just terrible. Well, I’m sure you’ve heard about it. PR Czar Howard Rubenstein got mugged this last weekend on the Huffington Post. The blows have now reverberated throughout the industry. I think I am uniquely qualified to offer a little perspective.
The day I interviewed at Howard Rubenstein Associates I couldn’t eat, had not slept for over 24 hours, and could not shake my innate nervousness. “This was the big leagues,” the headhunter told me. You make it at the most demanding, most respected, most connected publicity shop in New York, you can make it anywhere. I was interviewing with a man we came to call “The Beast,” although that moniker was way too tame and could never convey his true brilliance or brutality. His initials aptly were P.R. and he was the purest personification of raw PR media madness I, and many others, have ever experienced. He was Howard’s henchman and he had zero patience for incompetence or foolishness, attributes he detected in most everybody. — see the rest of the story on Strumpette, published 07.11.2007

All week long I heard the coyote howl as the moon, a waning crescent, receded further. It is the season of the coyote, not just here in the Olympic Mountains, but throughout the land as Trickster reveals itself in many permutations. The Makah, on the coast of the Olympic Peninsula and the Colville east of the Cascades have their legends of Trickster and you can see its handiwork often on Strumpette and through those who practice public relations on a higher level. The coyote alerts us to its presence, teases us with illusions, and then disappears into the woods. Where will it pop up again? Trickster Makes This World, here we’ll attempt to navigate through it. — Read the rest of the story on Strumpette
