Once you enter your location and desired job function, you get to a page with listings on the left and a map on the right showing [...]
I read a great little book last weekend, Chasing Daylight by Eugene O’Kelly. It’s a powerful memoir that makes you think.
Going 100 miles an hour as CEO of KPMG, O’Kelly was suddenly diagnosed with brain cancer and told that he had less than 100 days left to live. The book chronicles those last few [...]
That is one old tortoise…
Allrecipes.com rocks – it’s the perfect recipe site for a bachelor like myself. It has a vast universe of recipes, and I love how you can search based on ingredients you’d like to use as well as those you don’t want to use.
So how about some spicy Tom Ka Gai soup? Yum yum yum…
This is hilarious…
Are you tired of getting all those invites to social networking sites like Friendster, Hi5, LinkedIn, MySpace, Orkut, etc. etc… ??
Well, here’s the cure: www.isolatr.com! This site “helps you find where other people aren’t.”

I haven’t finished “Barbarians at the Gate” yet, but as I walked through a bookstore around lunchtime, I picked up a book that I’ve been meaning to read: Monkey Business : Swinging Through the Wall Street [...]
I just ordered a wonderful new set of golf clubs, Nike’s Slingshot OSS Irons. I feel like a little boy on Christmas Eve – I am so excited!! Can’t wait for them to arrive…
Hey, why not. If it makes you cleverer…
There’s been talk in the last few days about Google planning to offer “total storage”. Information that was leaked to the public hints at Google’s intent to store 100% of users’ hard drive information. This BBC article points out:
The plan for total online storage could meet difficulties with bandwidth constraints for some users.

I just started reading a book that’s been sitting around on my bookshelf for quite some time: Barbarians at the Gate: The Fall of RJR Nabisco.
I am glad I finally got around to reading it. Barely 100 pages into the book, it is already promising to be a great thriller – LBO madness, power games, [...]
I recently received a traffic ticket by a ChiP officer that looked just like the guys in the TV series, with 70’s hair-do and all.
