For the past three years I have not followed the happenings of the Casey Anthony case. For the past 30 days I used selective ignorance to avoid the trial.
However as the month of June closed, I could hardly avoid hearing about it from people around me, so I was made aware that we were obviously in the middle [...]
Facebook, often compared in user size to a country would be considered a monarchy, dictatorship or at best an oligarchy. How long are American small businesses safe to operate free of potentially huge taxes (i.e. fees) or other business killing regulations?
My father emailed me a story over the weekend that brings up concerns that some devices with clocks that keep time based on electric current might not keep accurate time in the coming year.
A yearlong experiment with the electric grid may make plug-in clocks and devices like coffeemakers with programmable timers run up to [...]
This week Burger King announced they would be replacing Miami’s Crispin Porter + Bogusky with agency McGarryBowen after a two month agency review process.
The change is not a surprising corporate reaction considering Burger King has consistently lost market share to McDonalds despite having a new revived “King” mascot that reached [...]
I found an article last week and decided today was a good day to post my thoughts on the subject.
Prompted by the Internet marketing sales pitch I’ve had to endure hearing at a nearby table while sitting in a Starbucks… both of which I try hard to avoid.

There are all kinds of emergencies out there that we can prepare for. Take a zombie apocalypse for example. That’s right, I said z-o-m-b-i-e [...]
Came across the article, Why Google Succeeded Where Other Search Engines Failed, from an Inc. Magazine Facebook post and was immediately struck with an irony to share.
Aside from better search results the following is strongly credited for Google’s success.
…there was another key reason: a stubborn refusal to accept the orthodox view [...]
I’m now in my fifth month and starting to consider myself a bit of a runner. With just over 80 miles and 14 hours logged I am very pleased to still be finding it fun, relaxing and a new way to socialize while improving my fitness.
My goal to complete one 5K each quarter is [...]
I’ve been using WordPress templates by PageLines for about two years now starting with their WhiteHousePro theme for politically themed websites. While WhiteHousePro was a great fit for this niche the other templates offered such as iBlogPro and EcoPro were not very flexible and/or inspiring.
That changed late last year with [...]

Yelp Reviews
Yelp is my website and app of choice when it comes to finding/reviewing local venues. It's my choice for "checking in" as well.
