Ok, so I slacked off on Friday and didn’t post my idea. It was for good reason. I had some decision making to do that was occupying all my mind power. More on that next week, but for now here is the last post in my Idea a Day series. It has been a fun […]
This morning I read an interesting article on NPR. The gist of the article explained how a restaurant was catching on to the value of tracking customer complaints globally so that they could start to analyze the data to determine if they are isolated incidents or if these are true trends amongst their patrons requiring […]
Yesterday was a reunion tour of sorts for me. I had coffee and lunch with old co-workers from two jobs ago, and then drinks and dinner out with some other friends from that same job. They were some of the people that I have worked alongside and known the longest in PDX. For the most […]
Even before this incident, I had been trying to get Jack off the iPad a bit, and it was kind of like getting a drunk off the sauce. It is not that I don’t want him using it, it was just becoming his only friend. He would wake up the the morning, come into our […]
