Live and Direct

Hey folks,

Here's an unintended consequence of the snow -- today is our Time Warner Global Broadcast, which is pretty much a big team rah-rah meeting with video simulcasts in offices all over the world.

Because of the snow, a lot of folks didn't come into the office today, so they needed some warm (or even slightly cool) bodies to fill the seats for the Dulles studio audience.

So, I went. I brought my laptop and my camera.

I guess I shouldn't have been surprised, but it was pretty heavily stage-managed -- they even handed out noisemakers.

Okay, so they may not be the most interesting photos. But let's see you try to get Anderson Cooper to moderate your team meeting.

Anderson Cooper

Thanks -- Joe

    And I thought my employer's monthly all-employee meetings were lame.

    I'll never again complain about sitting through yet another lame PowerPoint presentation.  At least we're not handed noisemakers and told to make it look like we're lavishing love on the suits.

    That's ridiculolus and pathetic.

    Is Anderson Cooper blonde or old? Or both?

    Oh...there are a few other things I can think of for Mr. Cooper to do.
