Appreciating Location
I have lived all over the north east in every environment. I grew up on the super suburbs of Smithtowon Long Island. I went to college in the little city of Albany, NY. I’ve lived in the suburbs of Vermont in Norwich, VT and in the rural farmlands of Canaan, NH. I lived in a fabricated company town in Herndon, VA and in the gritty streets of Brooklyn’s East Williamsburg/Bushwick. After...
Cafe Nijasol (5/5) on Yelp.com →

//twitter.com/ccarella/statuses/778554526”>ccarella: I like waking before 7 AM. You get a ton of work done by 9. That said, I also like staying up at night. Those two are at odds.

Twitter Digest
I’m messing around with this Yahoo Pipes App that provides a 24 hour Twitter Digest and trying to get it to work nicely with Tumblr. Please excuse the experimentation.
Recipricating on SNS
Read two tweets this morning that got me thinking: Spin: Someone pointed out that they don’t even bother adding people back in FriendFeed and I realized, I rarely do either. Lazy? Snobby? epredator: hello to all my new followers, I have followed back. Co-twitting is essential I think :-) I have recently changed my sns behaviors on Twitter to only follow people I know, have met in real...

Presenting Tomorrow
I am giving two presentations tomorrow at two seperate marketing companies. The contents differ only slightly. One is focused around the trends and future of online marketing and the other is more focused on how The Electric Sheep Company is tackling that future. Most of the slides will be the same. That will make my 4th presentation this week. I like presenting. There is a lot of work that goes...

Investor Wisdom
Our business development team at The Electric Sheep Company has weekly meetings with 1 set of investors to discuss sales strategy and techniques. It’s an interseting mix of the old world (Wall St rules) and new world (Web 2.0/VW).
Today’s meeting was the first one I have attended and I really enjoyed it. When client obligations don’t get in the way I’ll be joining them...

Our Art Collection
I finally have an art collection I really like. We’ve finally hung most of the pieces in our new apartment. Art (even the no-name artists I buy) is expensive and we have been adding 1-2 pieces per year. I love my collection but I’m far from an art snob. My 2 favorite pieces have Brooklyn as the subject and I don’t even know the artists name! Then I have a fantastic piece from my...
We The Living
I went to the Knitting Factory last night with Nexeus Fatale to check out “We The Living”. Nexeus got us on the guest list and I’m a sucker for free live music. They sounded really good. Not exactly my bag of indie rock but the vocals, instrumentation and raw sound was impressive. I was thoroughly entertained. I met the lead singer afterward and he was very cool. They embrace...
Late Night
It’s been a while since I’ve had a really late night. I’ve switched to early morning, so I’m more likely to go to sleep at midnight and get a jump start on things at 6 AM.
Today I basically did both. I woke up at 7 AM to get a jump start on one project but decided to continue working through the night for another one. I love working the night shift… its quite and...
