Wired Declairs that "The Web is Dead." I agree!

If you’re a digital junkie like me, you’ve no doubt had this debate before. I’ve often called the desktop (web) browser the Model T of the internet experience. While others debate the numbers Wired used in this article, I will go on record saying I suspect that within 5 years the desktop web browser will be one of the least important delivery mechnaisms for a rich internet...

Best of 2009 - Music

I’m not so sure 2009 ranks among the tops when it comes to music, though looking back on the year, there are definitely some gems. If you asked me at the beginning of the year if Phish would be back, I would say not a chance. If you asked me if I could have imagined seeing 7 shows this year, including a two night stand at The Gorge, I would have also said no way. And if you asked me if I...

This post is a continuation of my earlier post about my customer service experience with GE. About two weeks after my email exchange with GE customer service, I was delighted to receive a check for $176.50. Subsequently, I exchanged emails with the customer service rep, thanking her for helping me out, and going above and beyond. I also used it as an opportunity to express my continued...

Twitter and General Electric Customer Service

I was pleasantly surprised and impressed with a recent experience with GE customer service. It’s not often that I go out of my way to talk about a customer service experience, especially when it’s good. If you know me, you know that you usually only hear the gripes. Well, let me tell you why I feel compelled to share this experience with you. About a week ago, my 7 year old GE...

Panzanella Salad Recipe

It’s tomato season, and my garden is overflowing with tomatoes. It’s the point in the season where I tend to start getting creative with my uses for tomato. In between rainstorms this afternoon, I picked about three-dozen sweet baby girls. These sweet as candy tomatoes are best used in salads. Since I also happened to have a half loaf of rustic multi-grain Italian bread that my...

Phish - 6.7.9 - A Review

What can I say? I knew months ago when Phish announced their summer tour, that 5 years since my last show life had changed significantly, and all for the better. And while hopping on Phish tour has some appeal… and the idea of partying down with all of you would be awesome… I knew that I would not be seeing much Phish this summer. What I did know is that I would see one show (that is...

iPhone Protection

iPhone 3G owners, I thought you would appreciate some insight into the case and screen cover i decided on for protecting my iPhone. Walking into the Apple store and trying to select a case and screen protector for one’s iPhone can be a daunting task. After spending way too much time assessing all of the options in the Apple store, I am extremely happy with my selection… For the...

Best of 2008 - Music

2008 was another great year for music fans. It’s been a few years since the original breakup of Phish, causing me to finally break out of my rut of listening to the same band for far too long, and once again expanding my musical horizons. This year my favorite releases include a mix of classic live performances from yesteryear and new work from some of my current favorite artists. Here...

The Ingredients Make All the Difference

The ingredients a chef procures, from the fresh local produce, to the prime cuts of beef, and the freshest catch of the day, can make all the difference. Typically, when a chef forms a good relationship, or finds a great purveyor of top quality product, the chef wants to keep the sources out of the hands of the other local restaurants. Good chefs do a lot of research, a lot of trial and error,...
