Christmas, Hannukah, Kwanzaa, Festivus (grin)… this time of year everyone has a holiday. I want to start a holiday for foodies. I’d call it… Epicurious!

Anyone Read This Book?

Anyone Read This?
Even though our fiscal year at work doesn’t end for another couple of months, I always find myself near the end of a calendar year thinking about what I’ve done for the last year, and what I hope to do in the coming. No New Years Resolutions - just a little reflection […]

Do Unto Others…

Season’s Greetings From Some of My New Friends
This holiday season, somewhere between the hectic running around and the gift buying and gift giving and the eating and the family and the friends and all the other stuff… take a moment and do something for someone who’s less fortunate than you. That’s one of the […]

If their website is any indication of how they’re marketing their capabilities and they even do an average job of selling and delivering what they say […]

Better Tail Than Ever…

Better Tail Than Ever!
After posting below on Wired editor-in-chief Chris Anderson’s article The Long Tail I browsed around a bit and found two interesting tidbits. One, the piece is available in PDF as a Manifesto here on ChangeThis. Two, Chris Anderson has a blog called - what else - The Long Tail. Too bad he […]

I’m busted!

Amost forgot… on the way out from Pat’s last night, he mentioned he’d heard that the Students of the Unusual website was seeing some new traffic… from blahgkarma!
