NY Auto Show Report

I spent a couple of days at the NY Auto Show last week and have been busy cranking out videos on many of the cool concepts and upcoming releases. If I could use just one word to describe this year’s show, it would have to be electric…
The tiny electric Subaru R1e and Nissan Denki Electric [...]

Obsessed With Digg

O.K., I admit it. I’ve been spending too much time on Digg. It’s not such a bad pursuit, I keep telling myself. Over the past week or so, I’ve combed the postings for hours each day, trying to understand the path to Digg’s success. It’s a frustrating obsession. I’ve tried submitting a bunch of articles, [...]

Putting An Online Gift Certificate To Good Use

No sooner than I penned a piece on where to buy toilet paper online, I remembered that I had an online gift certificate languishing in a Thunderbird folder. Okay, so I admit to having never made that all-important online purchase, prior to writing the article. Call me a creature of habit, but I like to [...]

What’s The Craziest Thing You’ve Bought Online?

We’ve all bought something crazy online. Something on impulse. Something that maybe we really didn’t need. Something that, when you get right down to it, would have been better purchased in the bricks and mortar world.
My biggest crazy purchase was many moons ago, when I bought a nice little Weber gas grill.
This was way [...]

The Red Wine Blood Pressure Experiment

Call me the intrepid reporter, but I’ve become absolutely fascinated by the whole red wine-blood pressure connection. So fascinated that I’ve devised a little experiment, in real time. I’m going to take my blood pressure before and after imbibing a couple of glasses of red wine tonight, and post photos of the blood pressure monitor, [...]

Never Mind the Distance, Pass the Stuffing

Whether you travel near or far, it seems there’s always someone who can’t make it to the Thanksgiving table. It doesn’t have to be that way. Forget the price of a ticket. Good ol’ Uncle Lou in Miami needn’t feel left out.
This crazy modern world (la digital vida loca) gives us lots of ways to [...]

What Are You Paying For A Gallon Of Gas These Days?

My eyes almost popped out like a Tex Avery cartoon last weekend when we passed a pair of gas stations out on the highway selling regular for under two bucks per gallon. The magical psychological price point was shattered, with both stations at $1.98. Here we are, a week or so past Election Day, and [...]

Can This Drug Turn You Into a Super Athlete?

It’s no secret that I’m not a fan of the big pharmaceutical companies and their expensive drugs. But I’m not a complete Luddite. I believe that less is more, but I don’t like to keep my head in the sand when it comes to major developments - especially when they come from outside the normal [...]

Get Ready for Black Friday

Black Friday… a day that shall go down in infamy as the most insane shopping experience of the year. Do you dare venture out on the day after Thanksgiving to hoard those techie toys at bargain prices?
This year’s price wars are shaping up to be especially bloody, with Tarjet housewife-chic Target and the evil empire [...]

Holiday Party Frenzy

Put in the orders for a keg of egg nog and those snazzy corporate gifts! Four out of five companies are planning to spread that holiday cheer with office parties… and not only that, they’re planning to spend more this year.
According to a survey of human resource executives released today by a Chicago-based outplacement consultancy, [...]
