  • The AT&T dropped iPhone calls problem. Definitely an SF thing.

    I’m sure that no one will be surprised by this, but my opinion of AT&T iPhone service has changed dramatically since I left San Francisco. My iPhone is even more of a workhorse than it was before.  And it’s performing like a champ. I’m doing numerous 60-90 minute conference calls on my iPhone on a…

  • On returning to New England

    It’s done. Despite the fact that I haven’t changed my mailing address or gotten a new driver’s license or even found a permanent place to live, it’s time for me to admit that I am once again a full time New Englander. The family and I are all on the east coast and currently staying…

  • Only in Vermont

    Now these are the kinds of nuances that make Vermont unique. A TV station in Burlington has an official Phish correspondent.

  • 23 Hours in Boston

    After WordCamp SF ends today, I’m taking the red eye flight tonight from San Francisco to Boston.  My flight lands at Logan around 7 am.  My friend Dennis is picking me up so that I can get some rest before gathering with friends in preparation for Phish at Fenway park tomorrow evening.  Yes, that’s correct. …

  • Heading to Costa Rica tomorrow – help fill up our itinerary

    Keturah and I are heading to Costa Rica tomorrow morning.  Travelling without our children (WOOT!), we’ll be splitting 10 days around the areas of the Arenal Volcano (staying near La Fortuna – in a treehouse, of all things) and the Nicoya Peninsula (staying in Nosara).  With less than than 24 hours before our plane leaves,…

  • Upcoming Travel

    Yes, this post is about travel plans I have after the summer and in the early part of 2009.  Life with a one year old – and soon to be a life with two kids – means you plan trips way in advance.  It’s the ultimate example of how life with little children can so…

  • 5 Things to do in SF to get off the beaten path at web2.0expo

    After recently exchanging tweets with Richard McInnis , I found out it’s going to be his first time in SF.  So was thinking about some stuff he should do and came up with a short list of things to consider doing.  Especially if it’s your first time to SF and you want to escape the…

  • A Former Austin Resident’s Recommendations on What To Do.

    In preparation for heading to Austin for SXSW I asked a buddy of mine who used to live in Austin for his recommendations on what to do, where to eat, etc. Here’s what he had to say… Good restaurants -gueros: it’s classic tex mex and in a cool part of town on south congress. Great…

  • Home Sweet Home

    The family and I are back from an amazing two weeks in Italy. We actually got back Sunday night (or was it Monday morning?) and it’s taken a few days for all of us to overcome jet-lag and get back into our schedules and routines. That’s especially not an easy task when one of the…

  • Help With My Italy Itinerary

    I’m headed to Italy with my family in less than two weeks and I’m beginning to feel a bit unprepared. I’ve got the basics covered – plane tickets, lodging, rental car. But have yet to flesh out the itinerary with things to do, places to visit, and most importantly… where to eat. Here’s an outline…
