Let There Be Dragons

Posted on January 24, 2012 by Chris

I just finished reading a book, “1491: New Revelations of the Americas Before Columbus.” I’ve been reading it for 3 years. It is an amazing book. I envy the author, Charles Mann.

Sweet Phone for an iPhone

Posted on January 21, 2012 by Chris

I’d love to have one of these items sitting around the house. This is from Etsy and I’d buy it, except that it costs $195. That is a handsome price for the luxury of necking with an old-school cradle. Is it worth it? My moms had an actual rotary phone in her house up until…

The homepage also links to an explanation of the protest, with a form to sign a petition against them. Hundreds of other website homepages are taking part in the protest with similar “blackout” bands and links to petitions…

Pittsburgh is the new Portland?

Posted on January 15, 2012 by Chris

Pittsburgh is the new Portland. That is the news out of the Washington Post this week.  It is pretty exciting to make it onto the “in” list of what’s cool.  It appears, though, that Pittsburghers are taking the acclaim in stride. One of the things that make it a cool place to live is that…

Posted on January 3, 2012 by Chris

Looks like some winter weather is finally settling into Pittsburgh. It seems about a week late; if this fell Christmas eve, it would have made a million baby Burgers happy little yinzers.
