Laughing, it's good for you. Just don't look at FS!

About 1 1/2 years ago,  I had one of my manager meetings and FS started to laugh.  And that started it.  We both laughed.   For a long time.  Someone dialed in to the meeting room, and we put the phone on mute.    I had to end the meeting because we could not stop laughing.    That was the start. The start of the laughing frenzy. Both he and I could just look at each other and laugh. People thought we were crazy. Here we are, two grown ups.   One smirk from FS , and I cracked up.  We often tried to discuss a myAOL module not working, or how we can deliver all this work, or the state of the time warner share price.  Sometimes we discussed why, oh why did the weather module not work .  Or how come David Liu ran into many problems with the AOL Mail module.    We laughed.

Best iPhone App : Radio ga ga - AOL Radio

It turns my iPhone into a little music machine.  I love that it has a local feature, so I can listen to local radio stations as well as the global ones.  It's really easy to use too. One other silly application I like is Mr Shuffle, which I commented on before. But AOL Radio is the best so far!

Suzie Austin's touch of class in a leaving note

As I sit here at my Mum's house, looking out the window on a rainy day, I re-read a delightful leaving note that Suzie Austin wrote.   You can read it here .   It is done with a good sense of humor,  a touch of sadness in some ways, but also how many of us feel.  A great tribute to some wonderful years at AOL.   Enjoy, and best wishes to Suzie as she moves to Denver!
