Ok, we lied. Here's one more post to close things out in the first week of 2011, this one being a host of New Year's resolutions that come to us courtesy of Scott Cohn, ECD at NYC-based Night Agency. Like most, we never keep ours, but here goes below. See any similarities between his and yours?

  • No more passive/aggressive emails to staff, as long as they stop making microwave popcorn, haha, but seriously people, be considerate. that stuff stinks.
  • Get in touch with my emoticons.
  • Open every other chain-email from my mom.
  • Exercise daily — stop using keyboard shortcuts.
  • Care more about the news — bookmark tmz.com.
  • Download a new language.
  • Spend more time away from the computer — need to justify ipad purchase.
  • Figure out bluetooth.
  • Start using headset for phone to protect brain from dangerous microwave radiation. (don't keep phone in pocket either.)
