If ever you get the chance, a visit to Sweet Basil at Vail Village is a must. Call ahead. Ask for Sam. He royally hooked us up considering we are crazy vegetarians. Good thing we like wine because they’ve got a great selection.
Terra Bistro? Didn’t hit the spot [...]
I wore out Earthquake Glue when it was first released by listening to it daily. It became a self-study that no normal person should encounter. I eventually grew tired and worn from the repeated listens and was not able to play it since. That changed today. I listened to Earthquake Glue [...]
Great read on software companies surviving against a giant. Relates nicely with a book I am currently reading called “The Five Dysfunctions Of A Team,” by former CEO of Sybase, Patrick Lencioni. It’s a very easy read, which usually says something about the ongoing intellectual stimulation of a book or the lack thereof. [...]
Those are the cities that I will be sleeping in this
week. Reading the new GBV book and the latest issue of
The Economist for the flight. Filled up the uPod with
some new tunes. Have a presentation to kick out as
well. Hopefully the inflight movie wont be some trite
big screen blockbuster. Media doesnt have to be dumb.
It [...]
The American songwriting genius, Robert Pollard of GBV fame, signs to Merge Records to release “From A Compound Eye.” Hells yeah! Combine one of the world’s greatest songwriters and band leaders with one of the world’s greatest labels and you’ve got a winning hand.
I just recently received shipment notification from [...]
Im in Orlando this week for a few days. Not having
kids and staying so close to Disney can be dreadful.
Funny enough though, one of my best friends and my
older sister are also in the area for unrelated
business. Wont be so boring afterwards.
On the road today. Dallas this morning. Springfield, Missouri tomorrow morning. Freakanomics is doing a good job keeping me interested and entertained.
I have been thinking quite a bit lately about the use of syndicated content in a business environment. All the talk recently about broad lack of knowledge regarding RSS in the consumer sphere can probably be applied to business as well, but with good reason. Frankly, I don’t think people should really know what [...]
As I was in the process of getting ready this morning, I realized how it is entirely possible that we could end up with a massive number of people with blown speakers from listening to unmastered audio at high volumes. Most podcasts with vocal overdubs are nothing more than unmastered mp3s but with an XML [...]
I’m in Milwaukee today. Boston tomorrow. Hartford on Friday. I was in Milwaukee last week as well for a couple of days. Everything here is Miller (as in beer) oriented or so it seems. Even the bars seem to have some faux micro-brew variant made by Miller. Harley-Davidson is [...]
I haven’t been a huge fan of My Morning Jacket over the years, but I can’t remember specifically why. But since hearing ‘Z,’ their soon to be released record, I think I may need to revisit and discover what it was about their music that caused me to write them off. Making the [...]
