A quick trip to Italy.
After very little planning and preparation, I went to Italy earlier this month. It was sort of a spontaneous thing with about a week’s notice. The place I work was kind enough to give me the time off, and that was all there was to it. I landed in Rome a few days later, and [...]

Occupying Times Square
While in New York earlier this month I was excited to get to talk to some of the people involved in the Occupy Wall Street movement. I had been hearing a lot about them in the news, and wanted to stop by Zuccotti Park to talk to some of them. I decided to go down [...]

2011 New York Comic Con
So last Friday I snuck into the 2011 New York Comic Con. (Note to convention planners. When 100,000 people show up for a convention, it is pretty easy to get past two retirees sitting on stools next to a stair case. I’m just saying.) The whole event was kind of neat, but everyone I talked [...]

New York City, I finally get it.
I’m not going to make this post as lengthy as the one about Hawaii from earlier in the year, but I wanted to write something for my recent 10 day trip to New York City. I learned a lot, tried new things, spoke with some interesting people, and just had several wonderful experiences. To everyone [...]

The system allows customers to control their air conditioning via the Internet or smart phone, and monitor their up to the minute energy usage as well. TEP [...]

Google’s Street View Car, take three…
Well I ran into the Google Street View car yet again, but this time I noticed something out of the ordinary. Not only was the car sporting a blue camera (instead of the red one I had previously seen), but it was driving up and down isle of a parking lot for a shopping center. [...]

Google’s car is still in town.
I have to say that today has been a pretty good day. I woke up on time and seemed to complete all my morning tasks much earlier than normal. This strange efficiency gave me an unusual excess of free time before heading off to work. Things continued on pretty well after that too. I literally [...]

Lights, camera, food!
I met Lewis at one of Yelp’s Elite Events at Pasco Kitchen, in Tucson. He invited my girlfriend Anna and me to be his guests on his food show, The Food Crusader, back in April of this year. Lewis is a really nice guy from Chile. He travels the globe, filming and eating at various [...]

Google’s car comes to town.
Unless you’re a bit of a geek like me, you probably won’t care about this. Despite that, I’m geek enough to talk about it anyway. After work today, I was driving down Oracle and happened to see one of the Google Street View cars driving back into Tucson. The car drove from Oro Valley, down [...]

The one with the carnotaurus.
Last night was a lot of fun. I finally got to attend one of Scott & Co.’s happy hours. Let me just say, their drinks are amazing. I’ve been dying to try out one of their happy hours ever since Yelp let some of us behind the bar to make our own drinks.
