Move on, tweet me
Wow, it’s been close to a year without any updates. Sorry for that, things have just been crazy. I have moved back to NY, bought an apartment, got engaged :), rotated to the global Dove team at Unilever and am working on a new innovation platform for 2010, been streamlining Dabbledoo Media given the economic downturn, and have recently launched dabbledoo/design letting me be a bit more creative.
Most of my online posting is now either at www.gadgetell.com (@gadgetgell) or on my personal Twitter via @AdamB, though I’ll try to check in here and there.
Hold your breath…
Sorry I have been gone lately. This post isn’t do much more to wet your pallet. Yesterday my internet was kaput and today I am working on an upcoming Dabbledoo interview as well as a pretty big thing. I can’t talk about the big thing yet, but when it goes live I will be sure to blog about it here.
Stay tuned for more.
Ps. – I will be back in the states from Tues April 15 – Mon April 21. Then onto Barcelona from April 22 – April 25.
Gamertell get’s redesigned
Doug and I have been working hard over the past few weeks to get up the new design and a refreshed logo. I am happy to say that it is now complete.

Me, a travel agent
<Begin frustration> To put it bluntly, I had a rather crappy week of work. Don’t get me wrong, I didn’t mind the 4 days work week (well 3.5 days for me since I went in after Linds left on Tuesday), but what I did just sucked.
As part of a workshop I am planning in Barcelona at the end on April, I spent the week booking hotels and planning the event. I wouldn’t have minded this if I had started planning from the beginning — I would have been down with it 5 weeks ago. Rather a colleague of mine had been in charge of booking everything and we can just say that he never finished it, so it fell onto my plate.
It is so inefficient for me to have to spend a week of my time planning hotels and conference space, when it literally could have been done 5 weeks ago and in much less time. I also found out that on the European teams, not only do I have to plan the bookings, I have to essentially “hand-hold” everyone to make sure they book their flights, hotels rooms, the proper number of nights, how they are getting from the airport to the hotel, etc. No one likes to travel without the proper information, but it seems ridiculous, this level of guidance. </End Frustration>
