Talked with Lin-Manuel and got 7 Hamilton vinyl records in one day. Not bad.

You say a foldable iPhone is being announced today? Enjoy. I'll be over here on my physical keyboard.

A few days into using my Unihertz Titan 2 Elite and getting into a groove now after some tinkering. May the keyboard phone renaissance continue.

I accidentally typed Uber instead of car into Microsoft Teams and for some reason an eggplant shows up.

Once a Raptor, always a Raptor. Repping OG in Times Square today on my way to an afternoon Broadway show before the game tonight. Knicks in 5.

Not only is Facebook down with a major outage, but downdetector's Facebook page has a 404 error.

Lockheed Martin is looking for someone with "3+ years of professional experience" to "shape how Lockheed Martin understands, talks about, and adopts AI". Cool cool cool.

Never know what you'll pass when out and about. In a few minutes on my way to a bar, I passed Kathleen's apartment from You've Got Mail, the How I Met Your Mother house, Only Murders in the Building apartment, and Oppenheimer's place.

Climbed the Teotihuacan pyramids on Monday and learned about the history of its people. So impressive and incredibly fascinating. Can recommend.

I was included in this year's Muck Rack panel of experts who looked ahead to PR and storytelling in 2026. Worth a read if you’re thinking about where communications is headed and what parts of the job are quietly becoming more important, not less. Read it here: muckrack.com/blog/pr-pred...

Still can't get over the temperature swing between Toronto and NYC. Friends sharing first snowfall photos meanwhile here it's been 18C and sunny.

Found out we won a Clio Sports Award for the launch of Canada’s first WNBA team, the Toronto Tempo. Honoured to have been part of the team that shaped the brand and narrative for this historic moment. 🏀🇨🇦

The best part of a marathon is seeing so many people come out and cheer on strangers. It's beautiful and shows the good in humanity.

They shut down one of the main streets in LIC last night for kids to trick or treat. Tons came out. Super fun. #nyc #halloween

Whaaaaat. They've canceled the PlayStation concert that was going to happen in NYC next week. Super bummed.

It's been fun watching just how painfully slow the $325 limited edition PlayStation book has been selling this week.

Okay, the Xbox $360 era is pretty clever, @tomwarren.co.uk. Well done.

When a political opinion writer tries to be a business reporter but doesn't actually know what CEOs do on a day-to-day basis. Also this is often the rhetoric that the public hears (politicians saying they'll run countries like a business). Not a great move to help reinforce that idea tbh.

This is a real 60-second video posted online yesterday evening with featuring numerous popular trademarks. The Pokémon Company is one of the most aggressive protectors of its intellectual property, so I'm curious to see how this goes.

Wait, Nintendo Music gets the soundtrack to a Kirby game that's coming out in November *before* getting the soundtrack to already-released Mario Kart World or Donkey Kong Bananza?? 😭
