Falling behind.... →
Reading about how the US lacks even the basic knowledge about High-Speed Trains makes me sad.
Nearly 150 years after American railroads brought in thousands of Chinese laborers to build rail lines across the West, China is poised once again to play a role in American rail construction. But this time, it would be an entirely different role: supplying the technology, equipment and engineers to...
I love me a burger.... →
I love 5 Guys Burgers. The In & Out of the Midwest.
I also love their philosophy “Sell a really good, juicy burger on a fresh bun. Make perfect French fries. Don’t cut corners.”
Doing something awesome is usually pretty simple, conceptually-wise. Most of the time we mess it up by making it much more difficult for any number of reasons.
Five Guys has 4 core products on...

Facebook Profile Picture - NO KIDS PLEASE
What’s up with people on Facebook who put a picture of their child as their profile picture?
If this is a Facebook profile of lil’ Johnny Snotnose, it’s totally cool to have little Johnny’s picture as the profile. However if the Facebook Profile is for Mrs. Suzy Snotnose, please put a picture of yourself with your kid, or heaven forbid post a picture of JUST you!

When you get down to the last 5 or so tissues, the color changes from white to brown. Amazing, right?! There is ZERO suprise when you run out! I...
Facebook Friend Spam?
If I am your friend on Facebook, do me and everyone else a favor, and don’t send out blast messages about your blog, website, etc.
The polite thing would be to post the link on your wall, put a little comment with it as well. When you send everyone a message you’re clogging my inbox.
This is called Spam. Nobody likes it, and people are probably talking behind your back about how...
Worst Product Page EVER
I want a Kindle 2. I’ve held one, and I’m pretty sure it’s the coolest things I’ve ever touched since I held the 3G iPhone for the first time.
It’s that cool, and I can promise you that everyone is going to have one of these things in the next 2-3 years.
It’s going to be all the rage. People are even going to start reading again.
However…..

Bacon....
I’m starting to really hate the pub that bacon is receiving lately.
All of a sudden, bacon is so awesome.
“Look at me, I have bacon background on my computer, bacon magnets on my fridge, I just bought this bacon cookbook at Border’s, my daughter got a new bacon plushie, ohhhh….did you see Matt Lauer eating bacon on the Today Show.”
Please stop
You’re not...
