Everyone checks out photos from the Borree family weekend which celebrated Yvonne’s sisters birthday. The power is back and it’s almost time for dinner!

Finishing uo the last two videos in the Romeo and Juliet series.
One episode is on the gala for tragiclovenyc.com and the other is a different kind of mix with music by Au Revoir Simone for a great art and design site called coolhunting.com

After physical therapy this morning (at 8:30, ouch!) I’m hitting Starbucks up for their internet connection to do a little work (see below) before shooting a few interviews of people and understudying a rehearsal.
The R+J videos will be spreading… I am currently working on uploading them to blip.tv (tragiclovenyc.blip.tv), and soon you’ll also see them on iTunes.

Last week, for reasons unbeknownst to me, my darling 23″ Apple HD Cinema Display died, suddenly.
And of course Wednesday, our first really snow-stormy day of the year, was the first day I had enough time to haul it to the SoHo Apple store.
With my precious cargo bundled up in towels and a giant Jack Spade take-away bag (good thing I got Doug’s V-day present the day before), I lugged the two of us down our snowy street and into a cab for a slippery trip to the Genius Bar.
The Genius Bar is Apple’s help desk. You make an appointment online, and then show up at your specified time, to wait until a Genius is ready to see you and your injured friend.
Fortunately they have a handy display that shows apple “quick tips”, as well as a list of where you are in the line. At least the line for computer issues was much less congested than the line for iPod issues.
Confirmed. Something’s wrong with his insides, so he gets to take a trip to Cupertino, hang out with some of his friends, and get a tune up. He will be missed.
Walking home…
4:30 PM
Intersection: Houston and Bowery
No snow plows in sight.
What’s up?

Doug and I just got the PS3 game Fight Night (a boxing game) and they have this feature where you can morph the features of the players to make them look like you.
You can control everything… cheekbones, width, position, slope and bridge of nose, jaw angle, scalp shape, ear angle… everything.
The subject.
The morphing process.
How about adding some tatoos?
Amazing huh?
The game is pretty good too. I kicked Doug’s butt in the first game (I was Mohamed Ali and he was Oscar de la Hoya, so it wasn’t exactly a fair match). Of course he came back and beat me the next game when we were both the same weight class. With all the sweat and spit it’s pretty realistic, and a little bit addicting.

Tonight was Doug’s second time speaking as an expert in viral advertising on CNBC’s “On The Money”.
Isn’t he cute… he’s such a smarty pants too.
The segment followed their big story on Google’s purchase today of YouTube, for something like 1.5 billion dollars. Insanity.
Doug spoke about a recent viral campaign by Milwaukee’s Best Light Beer where they fill beer cans with sand and send them out of a canon, blowing stuff up. We’re not sure if that’s going to get people to buy their beer, but people do love watching the videos.
And guess what… You can watch them on YouTube.
