“So, where did you two meet?” — It’s always a fun question to answer, regardless of where you actually did meet.

Is a common platform necessary in a relationship?

Maybe you wouldn’t think so at first, but when I saw this comic, it made me think about what our tech personality has to do with who we date and where we might end up finding them…

Could I date a windows OS-only user? I’m not sure. I think it would be a tough transition. Luckily, right now I am also dating a mac user, so that is not a current concern….

Couples and OS

[Dislaimer: I'm a Mac.]

NFL ON TWITTER (via UrbanDaddy)

[techyness] – I stumbled upon this post regarding the NFL on twitter and found it pretty hilarious. Use this quick guide to find your favorite NFL player so you can follow him on twitter and learn a few new things.

At long last, that dark time known as the NFL offseason has nearly passed, and kickoff is two days away. Quick offseason recap: just about every NFL player got himself a Twitter account. So we’ve gone through the depth charts and compiled a roster of the NFL tweeters worth following throughout the season. If only Namath had this in his day.

UD - Chad Ochocino

Tweeter: Chad Ochocino, WR, Cincinnati Bengals
Why Follow: Real-time updates about Ocho’s future TD celebrations. Up next: taking the Patriots’ musket and firing into the crowd. Seriously.
Sample Tweet: “Dear NFL I apologize for tweeting during the game but that was 2 monthsof my Bugatti payments you just took from me,I won't do it again”

UD - Reggie Bush

Tweeter: Reggie Bush, RB, New Orleans Saints
Why Follow: Read all about the ex-Mr. Kardashian’s feelings on NFL workout routines, losing your Heisman Trophy and the cutting edge of NYC nightlife.
Sample Tweet: “I don't believe my eyes right now! All I have to say is if your ever in New York go to a club called The Box! You will be scarred for life!”

UD - Aaron Rodgers

Tweeter: Aaron Rodgers, QB, Green Bay Packers
Why Follow: A fresh perspective on facial hair that will keep you coming back for more.
Sample Tweet: “Mustache + fanny pack= super creepy. Unless it's a sam elliot mustache”

UD - Drew Brees

Tweeter: Drew Brees, QB, New Orleans Saints 
Why Follow: A lurid peek inside the edgy world of a Super Bowl MVP. Actually, scratch that—we wouldn’t be surprised if his next tweet is about rescuing a kitten.
Sample Tweet: “Had a great time w/ my grandparents yesterday in New Baden, TX. Helped raise money for the community center that will be named after my Gma”

UD - Darnell Dockett

Tweeter: Darnell Dockett, DL, Arizona Cardinals 
Why Follow: Riveting tales of police encounters, lactose-related stomach issues and the occasional video of himself showering.
Sample Tweet: “Police pull me over for making a illegal u turn! he asked me why I did it I said "the red light was on a krispy kreme" s#@t I was honest!!”

UD - Stewart Bradley

Tweeter: Stewart Bradley, LB, Philadelphia Eagles 
Why Follow: A priceless look inside the introspective, innocent and curious mind of a 254-pound human missile.
Sample Tweet: “How come discombobulate is a word but combobulate isn't? Im gonna boycott the dictionary and start saying 'combobulate' or 'combobulated'”

UD - Michael Huff

Tweeter: Michael Huff, DB, Oakland Raiders 
Why Follow: You have the morbid curiosity to see what another five-win season in Oakland can do to the human psyche.
Sample Tweet: “Is it possible to be a thug and have bieber fever?”

UD - Jeremy Shockey

Tweeter: Jeremy Shockey, TE, New Orleans Saints
Why Follow: Sadly, his days of questioning Bill Parcells’s sexuality, attacking GMs and passing out poolside at Vegas hotels seem to be over. Still, you wouldn’t want to carpool with him to practice.
Sample Tweet: “I want to be the first person to drive across a state in reverse!!!!!!!!!”

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.

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

Alana Edmunds before heading to Hamptons Poo

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]

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!
