Booked my travel to next week’s Apple special event. It’s my first in-person Apple announcement since the 2007 iPhone launch.

A lesson in karma: Within 15 minutes of my tweet in praise of powerline workers, our power came back on.

Power line workers = unsung heroes. When your power is out, think of them splicing live power lines 30 feet up during ice and snow storms.

Woke up to find snowstorm knocked our power out. No heat, coffee, Internet, etc. Had no idea electrons would get the holiday off too.

By at least one metric, the Gridley conference was huge. That metric is Ib/sq.ft. or investment bankers per square foot. #yg #YankeeGroup

Reality check poll from my mobile panel: only about 1/3 of attendees had ever clicked on a mobile ad. #yg #YankeeGroup
