My name is James. James Del actually. I work at a place called Gawker Media, something I find myself explaining to my parents every time I see them. They’ll get it one day. I don’t believe in Twitter, but I do believe in Facebook and LinkedIn. There’s a Myspace page out there too, but never mind that. Questions, concerns, and comments can be directed to James, At-Sign Gawker, Period Com.Tumblr (3.0; @jdel)http://jamesdel.com/<img src="http://26.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_kzklptmj4c1qz8sd7o1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p>More Hard Rock rock from @matthewbair, @eve6tony and @eve6max.</p>http://jamesdel.com/post/460569134http://jamesdel.com/post/460569134Sat, 20 Mar 2010 03:49:03 -0400<img src="http://27.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_kzkjgc6c9H1qz8sd7o1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p>Rock at the Hard Rock.</p>http://jamesdel.com/post/460505891http://jamesdel.com/post/460505891Sat, 20 Mar 2010 03:00:03 -0400<img src="http://28.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_kzc1fmRO751qz8sd7o1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p>Effective immediately, I’m no longer employed with Gawker Sales, LLC.</p>http://jamesdel.com/post/450208637http://jamesdel.com/post/450208637Mon, 15 Mar 2010 12:50:03 -0400ohyeahfacts: New icon, new layout, and we now have a twitter and email address too....http://jamesdel.com/post/445960763http://jamesdel.com/post/445960763Sat, 13 Mar 2010 14:59:17 -0500<img src="http://27.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_kz87fvmbpz1qz8sd7o1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p>View from my roof top.
