Well it definitely isn’t chilly here in SoCal and they were available to I’m guessing it is the first of September.Pumpkin spice lattes are now on the menu at the Starbucks in Freeport, ME. Are they being served everywhere in the country as of 9/1, or are they rolled out first to parts of the country that will likely be chilliest?
I’m curious as to the answer.
One year ago this week, I sat in this exact same coffee shop on Sand Hill Road, scared out of my mind, rushing to put the finishing touches on a deck and present it to people who could make or break me based on a 15 minute meeting. Now I find myself sitting here again, sipping a soy latte and working on a proposal for an amazing ad campaign that will run in amazing applications, tracked by an amazing product, measured by amazing analysts and reported on by amazing publications.
Amazing how much can change in a year.
That’s really awesome! Congrats!
Traffic in Los Angeles at 1:30PM on a random Wednesday is astounding. I can’t believe how much worse the traffic has gotten since I lived here 3 years ago. It’s a damn parking lot!!!
Not that it isn’t always bad on the 405 but you might have also been affected by people at the Lakers parade.

Fantastic cover. Live & raw. Turn it up and enjoy. Original by the Strokes.
Totally agree!
The Twitter web app I want: it only displays tweets from my friends that have links, with popularity filter. Instant social link blog.
I couldn’t agree more on this! Perhaps a sliding popularity scale whether it is going to a blog, a video or other types of sites.
Sometimes this is what’s needed to end the week.
REALLY? My enter key broke in half. How does that even happen? Christ.
Who knew that anyone could have that strong of a pinkie? Assuming you were in proper typing finger location of course…
No berets but they do have interesting hats.
Getting ready for some poetry.

Trailer for the new Sherlock Holmes — yes, the one with Robert Downey, Jr. and Jude Law. The end is absolutely phenomenal. This movie had better not suck.
Which makes me wonder: Is the Sacha Baron Cohen/Will Ferrell one still getting made?
Great trailer! I agree wholeheartedly… This movie better not suck!
I typed this in as a search query and this was one of the top results via Google. I confess I haven’t read any of the Twilight books but I agree wholehearted from the Buffy side. Man, do I need to rewatch that show!

The Arrogant Worms - It’s great to be a Nerd (via aengeln)
The Nerds were the best big bad on Buffy.
OK I’m done.
Though they weren’t the typical big bads battling Buffy, I think you could argue they inflicted the most damage on the Scoobies as anyone; killing Tara and driving Willow to kill in revenge for example.
SUMMER TRENDS - NU BUCKS
Don’t worry boys, your drivers and boat shoes are still in from last summer, but if you’re looking to up your style game, this year you’ll be wearing Nu Bucks.
No, this is not the Southern Comfort going to my head. And I won’t be telling you to wear pleated khakis to go with them (yikes). Think of a nu buck as a more casual wingtip that goes with everything.

When I worked on Michigan Ave. in Chicago and I needed to dress up every day, I bought a pair of nu bucks for the summer. They were a great pair of shoes and if you kept them clean, you could dress them up with some linen slacks or put them on with jeans for a casual evening out.
Other folks wore them with shorts but I was never quite that brave.
