Connie put me in charge the night before, so I was more than a little nervous. Finally decided to do Southwest as a theme because I just couldn’t get pumped about Greek. We use the Pasqual cookbook. It’s a terrific restaurant in Santa Fe. We had an incredible menu thanks to the efforts of Phil, […]

Internet is part of American Life
Pew Internet & American Life Project. An amazing set of facts about how the Internet is the key to finding information for most users. It is far beyond the geekstream and into the mainstream. A nice study. Thanks to Boingboing for finding it.

Customer Survey Results. I’m going up into the snow quite a bit this season. Other than borrowing Jennie’s Subaru, I really should get a good set of winter tires. This looks like the best review board. It says, Pirelli Winter 210 Snowsport, Bridgestone LM-22 or the Dunlop Winter Sport M2 are the highest rated by […]

LOTR Rantings…
Geek Blog: Two Towers review. I just loved the movie and I’ve read the book. Truth is that I can appreciate both. Someone in the long comment thread says that books are books and movies are movies.
