Last night I joined a gaggle of New York’s most digital in welcoming SHIFT Communications to New York.

Here’s an interview with a obviously delighted Todd Defren who clearly believes New York is ready for SHIFT’s brand of social media savvy:

Interview with Gary Vaynerchuk from David Parmet on Vimeo.

This morning I interviewed Gary Vaynerchuck for his upcoming book Crush It!

I don’t need to tell you all that Gary’s energy is infectious. His insights on life and work and why we do what we do all day are worth hearing again and again. I particularly find his putting ‘family’ on an equal footing with ‘work’ and ‘passion’ to be refreshing.

Enjoy.

Hopefully the current issue of Vanity Fair hasn’t made it up to Wasilla just yet.

I have to hand it to Levi Johnston, he’s milking every bit of his 15 minutes. He’s clearly smarter than he first appeared to be back last August when he did his best ever impression of a deer caught in the headlights. Or a teenage boy (and walking ad for sex education in the schools) who went from hanging out in back of the 7-11 to national prominence faster than you can say baby-daddy.

Like a lot of people of a certain age, most of my memories of the 1960s – specifically of the Viet Nam War and of the Lunar landings – are narrated by Walter Cronkite. It’s sort of fitting in a sad way that he left us this week when we are remembering Apollo 11.

For those who weren’t around then, this video might give you some sense of the enormity of what we could accomplish back then.
