Meeting Nick Bilton at his 'American Kingpin' book launch

How great meeting Nick Bilton at his Vanity Fair book launch party Tuesday night. (I sheepishly approached, and when I said my name for him to sign, he said, "You're Dave Cullen?!" Turns out he is a big fan of Columbine. That made my day, and gives me hope that I'm on the right track.)

I got home, took a peek at chapter 1 before going to bed, and couldn't stop reading.

Nick turned out to be a really nice guy, too. And so was his editor, Niki Papadopoulos. I can see them as a great fit.

American Kingpin is in stores now. Grab a copy. Or more info at Nick's site.

Update:

I've been whipping through this. Quite the page-turner.

Later update:

I did Nick's podcast, after the awful Las Vegas shooting.

That sounds like an incredible experience—meeting Nick Bilton and getting that kind of recognition must have felt amazing! American Kingpin is such a gripping read, it’s no surprise you couldn’t put it down after the first chapter. Moments like these really do give a boost of motivation and clarity about being on the right path. And after an exciting literary night like that, unwinding somewhere peaceful—like southview glamping—sounds like the perfect way to relax and recharge.

That must have been an amazing moment—getting recognized by someone like Nick Bilton at his own book launch is definitely something to remember. It’s always encouraging when your work resonates with people you respect, especially in a setting like that. Moments like these really show how powerful writing and storytelling can be. Even for sharing such experiences online, adding a creative touch with tools like زخرفة can make your posts stand out even more.

What makes plants vs brainrots so fun is that it mixes tower defense with meaningful resource management. You must invest wisely to stay ahead of brainrot waves.
