Smitty Gets AARPed

5 Replies

I remember clearly the day my mother, who was in her 40s at the time, received her first mailing from AARP.  Let's just say she was none too pleased to be considered in the geriatric demographic.  I thought of that when I read this article about Smitty in Boom!  It's a very complimentary article, but being in your 40s and having your profile appear in a regular feature titled "Fifty & Fabulous" has to be a little disconcerting.

I'm a long time reader of Fred Wilson's blog AVC.  Usually he writes about topics relevant to his venture capital business, but he doesn't hesitate to mix in posts about his personal life as well.  Today he wrote that it's his 49th birthday and how he's beginning to see himself not so much as the 20-something with a chip on his shoulder any more.  I read his piece in my Google Reader and it cracked me up when I saw the ad that Google served up with it:

I don't think Fred's feeling quite that mature.

Spencer Needs Help Getting His Face Out of the Mud on Farmville

Bad: Your personal assistant quits.

Worse: She does so in a creative white board slide show emailed to about 20 of your co-workers.

Worser: She lets everyone know you called her a HPOA – hot piece of (use your imagination) – on the phone with someone.

Worst: She reveals how you spend time online, and the majority of that time is spent on…Farmville?! 

Spencer, Jenny's got your number.
