36, no job, and nothing to do.... (drinks this Friday)

I turn 36 today.

I have no job and nothing to do but walk the streets of Manhattan, read my books, and drink coffee. I couldn't be happier. :-)

Having a low key dinner tonight with some old-school friends in New York City, being inducted in my high school's Alumni hall of fame of Thursday (which for anyone who knew me in high school knows is an absolute miracle and highly ironic), and I'm having drink with some bloggers after work on Friday.

Note: everyone is invited to the drinks on Friday.... if you're in NYC and want to meet up in a casual location and just chill this is it. Thanks to Andrew and Lock for hosting (and paying for all the drinks--you guys are great!).

1. Jason, are you going to CES this year? I'm heading over there from the UK with the Engadget crew. I'll finally be meeting (in person) a lot of the people I've been working with over the last 18 months or so. It'd be great if I could meet you too!

4. Tell me I'm not the only one who finds it ironic that Lock is paying Jason's bar tab....

If not ironic, than at least a little funny.

5. Happy birthday. Just as long as you keep blogging who cares about a job?

6. Happy Birthday!

Enjoy your cup of Joe, and the drinks. 36, no job, and walking the streets of NY is where it's at.

7. Happy Birthday, J-dawg. :-)

It was only a year ago that you said ...

"[...] I consider everything I've done up to now the warmup for what's to come. I've got more motivation, energy, and fire in my belly now than I ever have. Life surprises you that way I guess."

If flipping your company to AOL was the warmup, I can't wait to see Act I. :-)

8. Happy Birthday Jason. As an Entrepreneur student in college, it's now fair to say that you've become one of my role models. Love the podcast.

Enjoy.

20. Lockhart Steele and Andrew Krucoff? I don't want to be rude but, there are younger better looking guys in NYC to hang with. But, seriously folks.

Did you catch MTV Network's press release about how it has 20 some odd projects in mind to take MTV Music and Logo Group more "interactive" on the web? And that MTV Networks is looking to buy and/or partner with interactive productions on the web? Seems like they could USE a guy like you (and then drop you to the curb when you turn THEIR ship around). I kid, I Kid.
