Brad Choate is offering a generous reward to anyone who can help his friend Ron Pacheco find a fulltime job in the southwest Connecticut/New York City area. Ron's eight-year old son Thomas had cancer so it's important they are back on health insurance soon. Here are the stipulations that Brad described on his ...
The wireless-g network is alive
After several hours of coercing Zippy to play nice with the wireless-g notebook adapter driver, I finally got my wireless network set up at home. I decided to go to Panera Bread to take in the free Wi-Fi, do some work and eat lunch. That's where I'm at as I type this little blathering ......
Wireless-g is in the house, yo … almost
Michael picked up the Linksys Wireless-G Broadband Router on sale today for $129 at Radio Shack. Yes, Radio Shack. One geek pal has already given me a hard time about this. But it was the best deal in our immediate area. Best Buy and CompUSA outlets have it available for the ...
Song lyrics of the day
Today, Ani Difranco sums it up like this: We got egos like hairdos They're different every day Depending on how we slept the night before Depending on the demons that are at our door I got my kitchen stocked I got my door unlocked There're no demons here And I don't really care Whose name...
Sondre Lerche on Last Call with Carson Daly tonight
Mike seems to think that my apartment is turning into HQ for the U.S. division of the Sondre Lerche fan club. Almost, but not quite. Sondre will be performing a song from his Faces Down album tonight on Carson Daly's show. I'm rarely awake during the work week to watch the show ...
Soozle, the official summer cocktail of sooz.com
I stopped by Tosconini's in Harvard Square last night on my way to ZuZu and ordered a Korean Citrusade. The drink includes club soda, orange marmalade and ice cubes. It was a tasty beverage, but something seemed to be missing. How about some of that Strawberry Stoli that's been sitting in the ...
The Unhappy Hour every Monday night at ZuZu in Cambridge
Tonight Susan C. and I met up for a late dinner and a free music event at ZuZu, the restaurant with beautiful red walls between the Middle East's restaurant and corner. I've walked by it dozens of times but tonight was the first time I went in. We ordered the ZuZu PuPu Platter. ...
BunkoSquad.com five year anniversary shindig
Michael announced plans for a party to celebrate five years of BunkoSquad.com, his home on the web. It seems just like yesterday I was pestering him to get a website. Apparently we're going to party like it's 1998. Hopefully that doesn't involve listening to The Titanic Soundtrack which was #1 (well, not on ...
Bleu is trapped in my CD player
I'm doin' fine my friends all say so I'm doin' all right but that don't mean dick unless you know, I know, you know -- "You Know, I Know, You Know" ~ Bleu I picked up the re-release of Bleu's Redhead album at Newbury Comics yesterday. They've got it on sale for $7.99. What ......
Exploit Boston! and Sondre Lerche
I have told you this before and my transparent mind won't cover see-through hearts I'll be straight with you now Now I'm not what you want just like the rest and you feel like you're subject to a test But if there's one thing I know it's this When I lose my sleep it's you...
Smokefree in Cambridge … soon!
On behalf of my eyeballs, thanks to Cambridge for finally passing the smoking ban in all workplaces, including restaurants and bars. It doesn't go into effect until October but at least it's happening this year. Last night Michael and I went to the Rising Tide Concert Series debut at the Paradise in Boston ...
Nokia 6800 available in the U.S. … but where?
The Nokia 6800 is apparently available in the U.S. with service from Cingular; but I haven't found a zip code via the website that actually says it's available in that area. I tried a few Boston area zipcodes and none of them seemed to have the phone. It appears to be a great phone ......
