A catch phrase will go here soon.

Bloggin' at the Apple store. (or Why aren't PCs this pretty?)

10/13/2003

So, I’m chillin’ at the Apple store at the Grove in sunny LA while my girlfriend gets some shopping done. This place is amazinglike walking into an art gallery.

The total polar opposite of the Microsoft store I visited in the Sony Metreon in San Francisco. That store is so ugly and cold, as opposed to the Apple store.

Apple StoreKids are running around, hipsters are blasting music, and the lighting and glass everywhere makes me feel like I’m on the set of Gattica. On top of all this I’ve been sitting here pounding out emails, creating Weblogs, Inc. sites and reading ESPN Zone for over an hour and they have not bothered me once!

As a matter of fact I feel as productive here, on a Mac in a store, as I do at home. Amazing how technology has changed distance and how we work. I’ve got all my data at my finger tips and the fact that I’m on a Mac not a PC means, well, nothing.

Hello, my name is Jason. Welcome to my blog on the interwebs. You can reach me on twitter @jason and by email at jason@calacanis.com. My Skype is jasoncalacanis, and my mobile phone is 310-456-4900.

I only pick up numbers I recognize, and in terms of emailing me, the best strategy is to write short, blunt and to the point requests. I can quickly respond to short messages, and many times I simply don't have the time to read five page pitches. In terms of taking meetings, I only do that after reviewing an actual product (not a business plan). So, the best time to ping me is when you have mockups or an alpha site. I don't read business plans, and I've never written one.

Other twitter accounts you can follow: Video Games, Open Angel Forum, and LAUNCH Conference & Newsletter
