Windows Live Spaces just got reviewed for the second time by PC Magazine and it came through with a 4/5 rating. That is pretty good I have to say. The writer definitely does a good job of highlighting the product strengths and makes some interesting suggestions for improving the product. Feedback always welcome! As…
After looking for the last month, I finally found a place to live. Now hopefully people wont harass me about not having a place. The apartment meets all of my criteria (and more) with the exception of having a balcony. It is enormous (1250 sq. ft.), has amazing views of the water and the space needle, and…
As I have started adding more and more blog feeds to my Live.com page, it is clear that there are many different strategies in writing blogs. One strategy is to write long descriptions or analyses of products/websites/news articles. Another strategy is to write short blurbs which talk a little bit about the product/website/news article and then…
When I was deperately searching for the name of the cheesesteak place that my friend recommended, I came across this site called Robotic Gourmand. I love trying new restaurants in the cities that I live in, and I have checks near numerous Zagats entries in both the San Francisco and Chicago Zagat’s guides. I…
Last Sunday I went to a great sportsbar near the EMP to watch my Eagles take down the lowly 49ers. Since I dont know any other Eagles fans in Seattle yet and since the game clearly wasnt on due to the Seahawks game, I went solo. Luckily for me, I met a fellow diehard Eagles…

Finally it is here and it looks cool. http://www.orbitcast.com/archives/sirius-stiletto-100-found.html This thing is going to be a killer app once it is integrated into Zune (with its wifi social networking) and the iPod. I cant wait.
The Wall Street Journal just released its 2006 rankings of MBA Programs throughout the world. http://online.wsj.com/public/resources/documents/MB_06_Scoreboard.pdf It is always funny to see how different the rankings are between the various publications. For example, Business Week ranked Kellogg number 1 last year whereas the WSJ ranked it number 4. Oftentimes, Harvard isn’t even ranked due…
I couldnt believe it when my parents sent me the following picture from the deck of their house in Aspen. What a dream. I really hope this is a sign of things to come this winter since I plan on spending the Xmas holidays as well as a long weekend in Aspen this year.
Yesterday was the Microsoft company meeting and given the number of people that work here, it was held in the Mariners stadium in Seattle. They went through a lot of corporate presentations and videos of cool new products coming out in the next year including the new Zune which I played around with and it…
