If I had advice for McCain, I would recommend a valium and 100% more eye contact -- and share Obama's hand, for God's sake, man!

If I had any advice, I would tell Barack Obama to never agree with John McCain -- ever! Kerry did and it was a mess. #debate08

Did John McCain actually *NOT* shake Barack Obama's hand just now? Really? Really?

I am super impressed by John McCain's single-mindedness on the talking points: he sticks to them like White on McCain. Then, repeat, repeat, repeat. That strategy actually always works, alas.

John McCain is whistling and not looking at Obama because he's fighting his hot temper! "Serenity *whistle* Now!"

Why won't John McCain look at Barack Obama at all? Why does he refuse to speak to or speak towards the man?

What is his name? Jim? Tom? John? Miss Congeniality?

@pfmonaco Yes, I am afraid that all the SNSs will be saturated -- SATURATED -- with debate play-by-plays and -- groan -- analysis!

@pfmonaco Woke up just in time for the Debates! :)

International Medical Corps Matched With Top 25 American Express Members Project, “Saving the Lives of Malnourished Children”

NEWS FACTS International Medical Corps has been matched to one of the Top 25 in American Express’ Members Projects, ‘Saving the Lives of Malnourished Children.’ Chosen out of 1,190 projects, “Saving the Lives of Malnourished Children” is now eligible to receive up to $1.5 million in funding. The project with the most votes receives $1.5 million, 2nd receives $500,000, 3rd $300,000, and 4th and 5th $100,000. The funding – made possible by your votes – would bring a vital lifeline to hungry and malnourished children around the world. We need your help between now and September 29th. Voting is easy and doesn’t cost a thing! In just a click, you can save the lives of thousands of malnourished children. Click here to vote: For severely malnourished children, we offer a step-by-step treatment program that gives them what they need to recover, including nutrient-dense food supplements like the peanut-based product, Plumpy'Nut. Our comprehensive monitoring system saves more than 90 percent of children being treated in our feeding centers. Being one of the Top 5 would mean our nutrition could reach more children around the world who need our help. CLICK HERE TO VOTE! Hunger and malnutrition kill more people in the world than HIV, tuberculosis, and malaria combined. As food prices rise, this funding is even more critical. More people are being driven deeper into poverty trying to afford basic staples. Many have nothing to eat at all. Your vote makes it possible for fewer young lives to be lost because they do not have enough to eat. Getting the word out to your friends and family makes a huge difference! Forward this link to a friend and you bring us that much closer to the $1.5 million to help malnourished children around the world!

About International Medical Corps International Medical Corps (IMC) is a global, humanitarian, nonprofit organization dedicated to saving lives and relieving suffering through health care training and relief and development programs. Established in 1984 by volunteer doctors and nurses, IMC is a private, voluntary, nonpolitical, nonsectarian organization. Its mission is to improve the quality of life through health interventions and related activities that build local capacity in underserved communities worldwide. By offering training and health care to local populations and medical assistance to people at highest risk, and with the flexibility to respond rapidly to emergency situations, IMC rehabilitates devastated health care systems and helps bring them back to self-reliance.

Help International Medical Corps Double your impact. Donate today. Your gift is matched before October 31st. International Medical Corps has received a pledge of $100,000 in matching funds to provide vital health care to millions of children and families suffering in the global food crisis and other emergencies around the world. Every donation made before October 31st will be matched, dollar for dollar, up to $100,000. That means that we can double every dollar you provide, multiplying your gift and reaching more children and families who so desperately need our help. Did you know that hunger and malnutrition kill more people than HIV/AIDS, tuberculosis, and malaria combined? As food prices soar, billions of people around the world are more vulnerable to malnutrition and severe food insecurity. Malnutrition often puts children at risk for malaria, diarrhea and respiratory infections – creating a vicious cycle. We see the impact of this emergency at our feeding sites and clinics everyday. By making a donation, you provide a lifeline for children and families who desperately need our help.

At NMS, Gen Y staff was not loyal to NMS as much as they worked for their managers and for Pete. I think I have insight!

I may have a rare insight into Gen Y, "Chris, I like working for AHLLC but my loyalty is with you. I am loyal to you." When they say Gen Y is not loyal to companies, I think they *are* very loyal employees but their loyalty is different.

I am so frazzled by the end of that drive into Philly! Dzzzzzzzzzzt Dzzzzzzzzzt!

Traffic is so bad coming in to Philly I am still at 10.3 miles out: I 676 / US 30 :(

Stuck in traffic 12.9 miles outside Philly on I676/US30

When it comes to the gentrifying of cool neighborhoods: blame the people who sell and not the people who buy.

When it comes to cool neighborhoods: if you don't own itan you can't keep it. Artists and residents need to buy if you want to maintain your identity.

100 miles to PodCamp Philly. What is the hash tag for PodCampPhilly? What is the Twitter account to follow? Who's coming?

I am bummed that I will not be able to probably make the friday night festivities for PodCamp Philly :(

I am "parked" at a Starbucks 200 miles outside Philly in Somerset, PA, because my CEO demands a full work day. Slavemaster! :)

I participated as a social media PR expert and panelist in a very cool conference entitled "Beyond Twitter PR": http://ping.fm/nCREn

And go to http://ping.fm/ZOnck for details on publicity, appearances, and more. Thanks for the support, and please pass along this email to your friends!"

I have sent two Birthday Wishes via Utterz: http://ping.fm/vCV3i & http://ping.fm/xIHAw -- listen at your peril!

I can't believe it: I slammed my middle right finger in my trunk! Ouch!

Just saw a Galaxy airplane circling. The USAF transport. It is so huge and so gray that it appears to move as slowly as a an airship. Cool and bizarre.

I think I will drive to Cincinnati, maybe, if you Cincy guys have some time for a Tweetup. Where can I get some real Cincy chili?

OK, I have passed into Ohio, officially, going East on Route 70.

I complain but I am lucky to have such a sure-footed, comfortable, and powerful car.

52 miles outside Dayton on Rt 70 heading East

OK, I am finally super-tired of driving. I think I got all of this out of my bloody system! :)

Listening to Adam Curry's DSC about "media as completely commanding and controlling our lives every single day." What do you think?

@DeanLand I drove from Arlington, VA, to Aspen, CO, via Rt. 70 and now I am headed to Podcamp Philly to speak. So, just driving through KS!

@huperniketes Gardening is antithetical to the Natural Order of things. It is about persuasion and grooming and pruning and ... gardening!

@semjaza I quote Chance, Chauncey Gardener, about gardens in almost every meeting and sales call. :)

@afhill I just heard the writer interviewed the writer on CBC's Tapestry. Great guy and great philosophy.

@semjaza "Being There" is my #1 movie. Peter Sellers is my #1 actor. Chauncey Gardener is my #1 role model. Amazing!

I am so so sad that PRI's "Fair Game" with Faith Salie is cancelled. Listening to old episodes. So so sad.

I want to read _The Happiness Hypothesis_ by Jonathan Heit (sp?)

Kansas is, indeed, flat. Route 70 East is, indeed, long: all the way across America. Route 70 is the new Route 66.

I am still trying to document my trip on Flickr: http://ping.fm/aSn1f
