Your mail.

Your mail.

TweetToday I got an awesome email from Kim talking about the power of the internet and what it means to those who could access it. So….I’m sitting at PF Chang’s, ordering steamed vegetables and tofu (because I know you want me to stay healthy), writing and answering email, ruining the ambiance at the bar with [...]

Dan Rather Lecture at FIU

Dan Rather Lecture at FIU

Tweet I’m a huge fan of Dan Rather and his work on HDNet. I constantly recommend him and his show’s in depth coverage in an almost mini-documentary format of an hour per subject per show with updates in following episodes and sometimes even entire new episodes of updates. It’s a shame he isn’t more wide [...]

The Pep talk

The Pep talk

TweetLast June I was laid off from my IT position at a small home automation company. I’m only 25 years old and I’ve always taken pride in my work and taken my career seriously.

TweetListen up South Florida peeps. I am looking for a creative person to join my team in a project. It’s going to be awesome and fun as hell. I need someone who has a creative vision and passion.

The concert blues.

The concert blues.

Tweet South Florida isn’t exactly known as the heaven of music that other places are. We are so far south that most musicians skip us till they are big enough to afford the drive or flight down here. When they do come out here it’s usually well over $50 per ticket at the cheap side. [...]

Miami International Art Fair 2010

Miami International Art Fair 2010

Tweet Yesterday I was lucky enough to get a free pass into MIA Art Fair at the Miami Beach Convention Center for some practice photography and browsing around.

Guilty Pleasure: Pawn Stars

Who wants to be my business partner in my combination Pawn Shop and Gun Range? Once we are off the ground we can expand to the liquor and strip club industry. It’ll rain money.

Tweet I am not a person that liked reality TV when it was created. But over the past nine years, it’s finally morphed into something that produces decent television. So as I stay up all night hacking because my throat feels like an exposed piece of skin during a blizzard and I have Pawn Stars [...]

In Arrested Development.

In Arrested Development.

TweetOn the 20th, I was fortunate enough to attend a show at the Improv in the Grove. One of the comedians was an obese local from the South Central hood of Kendall, and it was one joke he delivered that night that really stung me. If you’re under 30, or have less than 5 kids, [...]

Monsters of Miami

TweetI know the video is well over a year old, but I thought it was an excellent video about a topic that has been covered often in the South Florida blogging community. It’s well worth your nine minutes of viewing time. [vodpod id=Groupvideo.3999187&w=425&h=350&fv=]

Hire me!

NBC in 1964 on the Bacardi Building.

Surprise! Waste of money at FIU.

TweetJust in case you didn’t realize, the title was sarcasm. Surely it’s no secret that big organizations have waste, and in the big picture of life, this is probably not that big of a deal. But it is worth mentioning. Why were all these plasma TVs bought when the school has such a big budget [...]

Tweet I love that Twitter is an easy way to keep friends updated, and that businesses use it for promos, discounts, customer service, and that many government people are already using Twitter, to keep their constituents updated. But these features are already built into other social networking sites such as Facebook and Myspace. Also, constant [...]
