Learning to skate ski! What a fun (and tiring…in a good way) sport.

The end of a successful ski day.

Bluebird powder day today in Squaw Valley.

This is more or less what my ski outfit looks like today.

Good morning from Squaw Valley :)

P-p-p-poker face, p-p-poker face…

(PS: I’m winning so far.)

“Snurricane” should definitely win Word of the Year for 2010. (In other news, what in the world is a “slurricane”??)

The Google San Francisco office is quite witty.

Four Management Lessons from Anna Wintour

Lesson 1: Keep Meetings Short - meetings are long if they go more than seven minutes and everyone knows to show up on time, prepared and ready to dive in.

Lesson 2: Trust Your Instincts - It’s quintessential Anna Wintour: knowing what she wants, making clear decisions and moving on…here is someone who knows that her gut instincts have gotten her to where she is, so she listens to them, trusts them and isn’t afraid to put them on the line.

Lesson 3: Surround Yourself with Great Talent - you’re only as good as the people who work for you, bad leaders are threatened by strong team members, and that success comes from surrounding yourself with the most talented people you can find.

Lesson 4: Don’t Look Back - Always move forward. Don’t dwell on the past. Life is short and there’s lots to get done.

The bottom line: More than ever before, women are influencing the face of business. They are on the cusp of becoming a leading entrepreneurial force in technology. As the global economy regenerates, new business models are needed to stimulate economic and job growth. Investors seeking to reinvigorate bottom-line performance and to favorably impact the entrepreneurial strength of our economy would be wise to support strategies that enable high-tech start-ups that are inclusive of women entrepreneurs.

Sunshine in my coffee is brightening this rainy San Francisco day.

First bed sleeves, now this. It may be the best day ever.

Warner Brothers has put all of the best clips from Wedding Crashers on YouTube. The one here is my all-time favorite.

I could watch all of these scenes over and over again. (When the movie first came out, I set out on a mission to memorize every line. What’s sad (and awesome) is that I nearly accomplished that goal.)

Warner has also made popular scenes from their other big titles available on their new(ish) YouTube channel - see clips from Sex and the City, Dumb and Dumber, The Matrix, Austin Powers, and more.

**Update: Warner has disabled embedding, so I’ve added links to the aforementioned video.

I’ve been wishing for something like this. I don’t care how stupid it looks - no one likes cold arms in bed. (And there’s even finger openings so that you can use your iPhone or iPad.)

I think this is the first time I’ve ever fallen in love with a Proctor & Gamble commercial. I saw it while watching the Olympics and then took the time to find it on YouTube.

That, my friends, is effective advertising.

Spanx for men. Fabulous idea.

Guys, what do you think? Would you wear these?
