Sometimes I get really nice messages like this.

Sure. You can have that printer.

Best Halloween Costume Ever

Evan Booth took the time to create this awesome Halloween costume using a travel DVD player strapped to his stomach. Video streaming coming from a digital camera strapped to his back created the illusion of a huge hole in his stomach.

Seen it before, but will always love it.

Oh computers, is there nothing that you can’t do?

Cool! I want to be invisible. I guess this is a step in the right direction.

Seriously! My boss was dressed as Cruella Deville, everyone else as a dalmatian

Why? Because today was “dress as a book character” day

Not sure why I wore a bowtie

It’s that time again, London people.

Join us this Saturday for some drinks @ The Volunteer on Baker Street at 7PM. Nearest tube is Baker Street.

Last time it was good to see some new faces along with the regulars. Let’s hope that we hit double digits this time! (Please do come, we are actually quite lovely in person. We also have stickers this time!)

As usual, please reblog and spread the word. Hope to see you there!!

GO! It’s a lot of fun. It’s like a Tweetup, but with fewer people and more real (less technical) chat.

Sadly I can’t make this one, I’m away this weekend. But I hope you enjoy yourselves.

@Drew - It's what's for Auction.

drew:

“Are you crazy?”

Yes, crazy like a cancer killing fox. I have seen too much pain, seen too much suffering, heard too many stories to stand by and let it happen over and over and over again.

I’m one person, but together we’ve done some amazing things. The BlameCancer team is doing our tallying, but it looks like since #BlameDrewsCancer launched, we’ve raised nearly $20,000.

Aside from money, we’ve raised priceless awareness and ripped down decades old stigmas and taboos. All with your help. All because of you, and your kind hearts and action.

And we’re only getting started.

I tweeted this the other day:

Nobody noticed or asked what that was. That’s ok.

I have a pretty cool Twitter name - one that I got early early on. I love Twitter. Twitter the company, and the platform have been very good to me and to people I care about deeply.

@Drew

My “digital identity” - the cool party trick where you say “Hey I’m @Drew on Twitter” and people say “Just Drew? Whoah”. Sure, it’s just a Twitter name, but it’s pretty sweet you have to admit.

My mom and dad are the only ones in the world who still call me Andrew. So Drew is who I am.

I’m done with chemo on November 2nd. My birthday is November 9th. The reason why I like 9’s so much :) I’m obviously going to have a really sweet party/fundraiser on that day (1 on each coast), but I wanted to do something else. Do something to kick Cancer right where it hurts.

Auction my treasured @Drew for charity. All proceeds going to LIVESTRONG - the organization who has been there for me from Day 1 of diagnosis. Bidding ends on November 9th (My Birthday), and the highest bid gets it. Just tweet your bid with the hashtag #drewbid.

I made sure to ask Ev at Twitter about it first, because I didn’t want to go against any Terms of Service. Since no personal financial gain was being made, it’s a donation to a non profit, all was well.

Who would buy it? Maybe Drew Barrymore, Drew Carey, Drew Brees, Drew Curtis, Drew Gooden? Or a non celebrity Drew who wants the great Twitter name. All IN the name of charity and Cancer Crushing.

Well, the auction started on Saturday with Jackson West’s awesome article. And then Mashable tore it up with this article.

And then this tweet hit my @ replies:

Yep, Alyssa Milano blamed my cancer for something.

And then all heck broke loose.

The word was getting out there, people were talking and sharing. More blames coming in. People were kicking Ethan’s Cancer into oblivion at a record setting pace with blames. (Over 600 people already!!!)

Then, whilst in Starbucks, I saw this:

Drew Carey bid $25,000 for my Twitter name!

And THEN! (as if that wasn’t enough to make me almost pass out)

WHAT? I almost dropped my Starbucks on handoff from the barista dude.

“Are you ok?” he said.

I almost responded “Yeah, I have cancer and people blame things on it. Well because I asked them to. And we raise money for LIVESTRONG and I’m selling my Twitter name Drew and Drew Carey just bid $25k on it and then said he’ll give $100k if he gets 100k followers”

But I just spit out “Yep, sorry.”

Whoah.

Bidding ends November 9th. What a start.

Lets crush that cancer baby!

Female colleague: You always dress very smart for work. I shouldn't think you're expected to wear a shirt every day. Still, it makes a good impression. Doesn't it?
Me: Actually it's because shirts are the only thing I know how to iron.
