One Reason why #blogher10 was Awesome

While walking through the blog her 2010 events, I came across a series of conversation callouts that were posted around the conference.

This one truly struck me as awesome – not just because of the content, but because they are "anonymous tweets" and disclosures that attendees of the event are sharing with those who pass by.

Social At Your Front Door?

This photo reminds me of a realization I had last night, while watching Hot Tub Time Machine …
 
In the movie, while the group was at a Posion concert (the time machine sent them back to '86 – in fact, the year I was born) and their conversation was as follows:
Jacob: I'm kinda right in the middle of a thing right now, but can I text you later?
Girl at Club: Can you what?
Jacob: Are you online at all?
Girl at Club: I have no idea what you're talking about.
Jacob: How do I get a hold of you?
Girl at Club: You come find me.
Jacob: That sounds… exhausting.
So, was it exhausting, or more exciting? To not be uber-connected and rely on a "sup" text a few hours later?
 
Sure, you can blame this on my "millennial" nature, where I've had a cell phone since I was 15, and a computer in my room since I was 14 (explains the dork factor). But I've always had the Internet (AIM, facebook, etc) as a way to stay in touch (or find people) after I met them.
 
Bottom line: love the fact that hot tub time machine is social commentary

With My Favorite Girls of Social Media (Not Pictured: @prsarahevans)

Over the weekend, I was fortunate to be the guest of @georgegsmithjr and @prsarahevans at the opening day for Mercedes Benz Polo Challenge 2010!
 
We were VIP at the @swaggmobile tent – which was featuring models carrying iPads to give demos of the new iPhone application, which will help to ease the stress of carrying and potentially losing gift cards. The app will also allow you to purchase and send gift cards to friends, and even check out deals at local retailers 
 
[and yes the dress is from lilly]

Add Some Preppy Tech to Your Friday.

Yesterday, while at Saratoga Spring's Pink Paddock Boutique shopping for a dress to wear to a polo match on saturday (sounds crazy right?) I realized that something was missing…
 
Yes, it's the yearly "run-in" with the signature Lilly Pulitzer jeep. Last year, The Preppy Princess featured my photo with said jeep on her blog, and I was honored. It's hard to believe that this year has a repeat.
 
So, if you don't have a chance to have a run-in with a lilly jeep, you can add some techy preppy to your day with the following:
 
Happy Friday!
