Get Your Coffee on Alltop

Sunday, June 8th, 2008

I’m in the Movies section on Alltop. What’s Alltop? A new feed aggregator site from VC Guy Kawasaki that tries to bring the power of RSS feeds1 to the masses. His thought is that the majority of web users don’t use RSS readers, so like a magazine rack that you can quickly and easily browse, [...]

I’m Not Dead Yet

Tuesday, May 20th, 2008

So I went from a post a day to nil. As you might guess, school has started again and to kick things off I’m producing.

Learn how to load mags quickly but [...]

It’s really called a Royal with Cheese.
A grilled sandwich is called toast.
Diet Coke is Coca-Cola Light.
Soda is still served in glass bottles.
Germany has the most amazing rest stops. Not only are they uber clean, they have [...]

Out of Country

Friday, August 10th, 2007

I’m out of the country right driving around Europe in an English car (with right side steering). Just had my bags stolen in Prague, which is a slight setback but fortunately my camera and laptop were with me.
I’ve found Europe to be pretty similar to America, but as Vincent Vega said in Pulp Fiction, it’s the little [...]
