Yesterday was a day for remembrance and reflection.  We all remember where we where that fateful day on September 11, 2001.  Some of us were at work.  Some of us were at school. All of our hearts were with New York City. We will never forget. Like most Americans, I spent Sunday morning watching the [...]

I spend many an evening engrossed in my Google Reader.  I read all of my favorite blogs, check out my friends’ shared blog posts and comment on them. We have some great discussions on everything from fashion to political commentary!  However, I think I may have found a new site that is going to battle [...]

Feeling fabulous…in a down economy

I’m pretty sure they saved all the stinkers for the 4th Quarter. Maybe they thought everyone would be too drunk by then to pay attention? Maybe I would have been more entertained if I had been drunk? Too late for that now, so let’s get started with the reviews so I can get my Glee [...]

I have mad love for Google.  I really, really do.  It’s the kind of love that I would marry it if I could.  Lately I’ve been thinking about what I did before it existed.  If I wanted to know an answer to a question, then I would go and pull out my mammoth encyclopedias, make [...]

While in Denver for the Great American Beer Festival, I noticed an emerging trend in the Craft Beer industry.  Cans! Maui Brewing Company and Oskar Blues Brewing are two breweries that only package their beer in cans.  As a self-professed “beer geek,” I must admit that when I first heard this I turned up my [...]

I love to travel and I try to rack up some frequent flyer miles whenever I can, so I’m no stranger to the TSA screenings.  However, when I recently traveled to Denver I noticed something that I’ve never seen before.  We all know that going through airport security can be rushed and hectic, but I [...]

I’m sure by now you’ve noticed the different logos that Google has released on special days such as holidays, major events, anniversaries of inventions and famous birthdays.
