Bad Bloggers go to Berlin

Good bloggers go to San Fransico, Bad bloggers go to BarCamp Berlin 3.  At least, I’m hoping that’s what will be written on the BarCamp Berlin 3 T-shirts.  BarCamp Berlin 3.0 is setting up to be the coolest blogging event of 2008, and probably one the best held so far in the history of the […]


iPhoto Backups

After a hiatus of three years, I finally own a working digital camera again (more on that later). As a result, I now have a use for iPhoto.

Could the Internet Have Saved These Local Bands?

Here’s the same photos I posted yesterday but […]

To Tip or Not to Tip the Nutty Waiter?

This question has been on my mind for a few days.

I went to a restaurant the other day with a few of my colleagues from work. It was lunch time and this restaurant offers buffet for lunch. We have gone to this place many times before but recently there seems to be a new […]
