I live in NYC. I work for Blip. I like to cook. My wife likes sprinkles. I have a new(ish) daughter. Her name is Chloe. We don't know if she likes sprinkles yet.

This is for all the anti-choice, anti-women people out there. Listen up.
You can spend every minute of every day trying to force the rest of us to live by your ideology. You can go after federal funds for health care and pressure private organizations like the Susan G. Komen for the Cure Foundation to stop funding breast cancer screenings for poor women. You can try to make it impossible to get birth control.
But you know what you can’t do? You can’t win. You can’t break us. Planned Parenthood isn’t just a family of organizations. It’s a movement. It’s women and men of all ages who believe that health care — including reproductive health care — is a basic human right. We are millions strong. We are everywhere. We act, we give, and we do whatever it takes to make sure that Planned Parenthood is there for the women, men, and teens who rely on them.
Know this: When you go after Planned Parenthood and the people they serve, you go after ME. I stand with Planned Parenthood. I stand with them against anyone who wants to stop women from receiving the health care they need. I stand with them today, tomorrow, and for as long as I need to.

My single greatest fear in the world is glass elevators. And I just took one 72 stories up for a client dinner.
Always Be Closing just took on a whole new meaning for me.
I can’t. I don’t. Anymore. What. This is just. Ugh.
Coming soon: “UNO!” a gripping portrayal of a man struggling with his difficult destiny to always be the first leave a social situation. Introducing newcomer Foreveralone.gif in his portrayal of “Discard Pile.”
Come for the eye candy (Draw Four), the banter (Skip and Reverse), and the drama (I won’t spoil the ending, but the final confrontations between Wild Cards is CINEMATIC GOLD).
I would go see the UNO movie. I would watch the shit out of the UNO movie.
In Detroit today. Been a while. Good to be back.
Announcing Season 6 of 60toSexy
How have those new year’s resolutions been coming? If you’re like 80% of Americans, those “commitments to change” just aren’t sticking. It’s nothing to be ashamed of, it’s just human nature - we’re prone to make grand gestures, stick with them for 2 weeks or so, but abandon them before the habits can form enough to stick.
Good news: we’re back.
For those unfamiliar, we’ve been running these 60 day fitness improvement sessions for a couple years now. The themes are fairly simple: community, cooperation, and a little bit of competition. Basically, you’re more likely to succeed if you have other people helping you out, holding you up, and spurring you on. So we create an environment that encourages you to set goals and take steps to achieve them without worrying about judgment or mockery - all with a healthy dose of good old-fashioned competition.
This season of 60toSexy is no different: we start on February 1st and for 60 days, you’ll push yourself towards accomplishing whatever goals you’ve set for yourself: run a 5k without stopping, lift 300 pounds on a deadlift, or maybe just “don’t miss a workout for 2 full months.” You’ll log your workouts with Fitocracy and update the other members on our Tumblr site at least once a week on your progress. As always, at the end of the 60 days we’ll crown a winner (as tallied through Fitocracy points) and periodically throughout the season we’ll be dropping people for inactivity.
This season has a new focus beyond just activity though: your diet. We’re going to be spending as much thought and energy on what you eat as what you do, and helping you achieve your goals through what fuel you’re providing your body.
So when does this new season start? Tomorrow, February 1st, running through through April 2nd, so you better figure out what your gut reaction is and decide whether or not you want to make some changes. If you’re ready, send us a note on Tumblr or shoot Barrett an email: Spytap At Spytap Dot Net. As always, space is limited to about a dozen people, and if history serves as any indication, we’ll fill up fast.
What can you accomplish in 60 days? How far can you push yourself? Who can you be with 60 days of honest work?
Find out this season.
