How did I miss Dr. Horrible?
Alli and I of course watched the Emmys last night. I think it is safe to say that Neil Patrick Harris wins at hosting. Funny, on-track and relevant.
However, I found out today that I completely missed out on Dr. Horrible’s appearance. I can’t believe that. I thought I watched it from beginning to end!
Thank goodness for the Internet.
90-pound lap dog
One thing I love about our dog more than anything is that he’s about 90 pounds, but doesn’t allow that to keep him from snuggling with us on the couch. For whatever reason, he’s gotten into this habit of laying on top of Alli while we watch TV. Once he gets settled, it’s not too uncomfortable…that is until someone rings the doorbell and he gets up to go bark at whoever dares to enter his realm.
On My Side
Usually Dreyfuss sleeps on Alli’s side of the bed. I actually found him on my side. So I’ve got that going for me.

How he spends his days
That’s our bed. Alli’s pillows. Our covers he’s under. Spoiled much, Dreyfuss?
This is what happens
…when I get an iPhone to play with.
I take pictures while we are on a morning walk and try to blog about it using the WordPress iPhone app.
Facebook Mentions are Awesome
This week, Facebook launched a new feature of status updates that allowed you to tag your friends in your posts.
This is a completely sweet and awesome development from the Facebook team in their efforts to move into the more Twitter-esque world of real-time. Twitter has a mentions feature that was pretty much built by the community (an @ symbol followed by the person’s username). Facebook has taken this idea and made it about a hundred times better.
Now, granted, this type of feature would not work on a lightweight, character-limited platform like Twitter, but for Facebook, it makes tons of sense. Their platform is pretty heavy and has the AJAX-ian search list built in already for standard search…it makes sense for them to implement it here.
As a marketer, I aspire to see lots of mentions for my corporation in status updates, although as a traditional B2B enterprise, it may take a while. Even so, I’m excited to see the development at Facebook and am looking forward to further enhancements to their platform.
Next time you log into Facebook, give the feature a try. I’ll even get you started:
I’m currently reading all about Facebook’s new mentions feature on @Shane Adams’ blog.
