My great Twitter idea (for Caribou)

Wouldn’t it be great if the barista’s at Caribou (not StarChunks) were on Twitter? I visit Caribou literally every day. And there are some GREAT conversations by some interesting people that happen at coffee shops. And tons of people that are using the free Wifi that could also be on Twitter.
Imagine this – you are [...]

What I love about Kids

I don’t have kids. Maybe. Someday. This past weekend I had the pleasure of spending (babysitting?) 5 days with my 7 year old nephew and 5 year old niece. I had a great routine going with them. Mornings I could read the paper and have a cup of coffee while the kids watched cartoons and drank OJ.  [...]

Swedish Meatballs

Last night, two of my friends and I decided to hit the new IKEA store that created such a big buzz in Cincinnati. (Scott wrote about the strange happenings earlier during the grand opening/camping.)  I am someone that loathes shopping.  You might find this hard to believe given my strong opinion about Costco. OK, maybe I just hate [...]

Movie Heaven

It is just me or is this the year of the action movie? I blogged earlier about The Dark Knight (July 18) and the new Indiana Jones and the kingdom of the crystal skull (May 22) when I was in the middle of my research on a new HDTV.
Today, I have seen two more trailers for enormously expensive, action [...]

no internet, no personal email, no no no

A couple weekends ago I was visiting a friend’s parent’s when her mom informed us that her company frowns on personal email, lunch hours spent surfing the net, etc. The changes were a result of her company recently being purchased by a larger company in the same space. Now, one would think that a bigger company with more [...]

2008 Blizzard in Cincinnati

Today’s snowfall in Cincinnati reminds me of the winters in Cleveland when I was in High School! They haven’t plowed the complex since last night around 10 pm. My two Siberian Huskies, Logan and Kali, are loving this and I had some fun with them outside today. The snow is so deep it appears the dogs [...]

Scrabulous

I must admit that I have almost completely abandoned MySpace in favor of Facebook. Y? Facebook has allowed me to connect to a wider audience and recently, family members with the same funky last name that I didn’t know existed. Is that possible? We’re talking back to my great-great-great grandfather. I digress.
I am loving Facebook more [...]

Hillary called, Obama sent mail

Both Hilary Clinton’s and Barack Obama’s campaigns are courting my vote. Wonder which list I am on that granted me this privilege?
I found this humorous:

Hillary called several days ago asking for my vote. I don’t do recordings, I hung up.

Ohio Gov. Ted Strickland called tonight to remind me to vote for Hillary. More recordings, click.

Obama [...]
