Oh hello there Montana, Alaska, and Hawaii.
While I would consider myself principled, when I want something I have been known to rationalize the hell out of a situation in order to make myself feel like I’m making the right decision. This behavior extends from procuring Starbucks to something worth much more (a la my ipad Max). So when I set the…

Customer Service Shocker
There are a handful of companies and industries out there that I think people find it very easy to hate. Some quick brainstorming with the household revealed this quick listing: Verizon Wireless Comcast Car Mechanics DMV the entire Airline industry People use Twitter to often complain about and to companies. There are entire departments of…

Talk Nerdy to Me …
I’ve often told people that I want to have a dog some day …. and name it Interweb. But call it Webby for short. But don’t worry, if for some reason my partner in crime at the time didn’t like that name I’d happily settle for calling it Firefox and Foxy for short. I’m very…

A Giant Tribute …
…. or perhaps a tribute to something that was a giant? A few weeks ago, one of the family cats passed away suddenly. Abner was 5 years old and a very unique cat. Its hard to describe Abner but if I had to pick a few words/phrases they’d probably include: giant, black, scared of his…

If you read this blog at all you probably know I like the following things: – the beach – coffee – cooking – having fires …. and the etrade baby. The 2011 Superbowl commercial was not a letdown – although frankly I have such an undying love for the Etrade baby that I’d probably love…

(Eternal) Quest for Blog Traffic ….
I’ve been a lazy blogger over the past two months… although I can probably safely say that nobody noticed I was missing. BUT – I realized this week that my one year blogging anniversary is coming up at the end of the month…. and that caused me to check on my blog traffic. Blogging less…

Spam Mail
I’ve always been intrigued by Spammers. Spam is like a quadraziakillion dollar business (that’s my way of saying a lot without looking up the figure) and for some reason idiots keep opening emails about Viagra and sending money to Africa. Fast Company had an infographic / article on this back in March 2010. They did…

I'm a good date
I’m long overdue on a few blog posts, one of which is the post about ice skating in Rockefeller Center. Back in November / December, I took myself on a date after work. It was the best kind of date in that it was a total surprise and I had a great time, even though……
