Wisconsin Part 1 -- Fireworks, Family, and Baseball

When Anna and I stepped off the plane from Germany back in Wisconsin (after almost a 2-year absence for me), we were met by my parents. It was the 3rd of July and Milwaukee had a huge fireworks display planned. So, we hopped in the car and headed to the Lake Michigan shore to watch the festivities. Once we arrived, the Quadracci Pavilion of the Milwaukee Art Museum greeted us. It's a beautiful addition to the museum created in 2001 by architect Santiago Calatrava. Here are a couple images from t...

2008 Ypulse National Mashup Recap: Day One

The Ypulse Mashup exceeded my expectations. It was so great to listen to these youth-savvy panelists from the standpoint of a writer and a millennial; I came away with newfound knowledge about technology, media, and my generation in general. I couldn't be everywhere at once, but here is my attempt to offer a recap day one of the Ypulse Mashup for readers who couldn't be there. We're going to try having live blogging, audio or video to capture our next Mashup event being held in Boston November 6...

Kimmel needled the ABC head about rumors that the network was courting Jay Leno for 11:30 after ...

Just a dollar down and a dollar a week Woody Guthrie

Click images for desktop size: "Untitled" by Clyde Cadwell I'm used to change. Throughout the 70's and 80's after a surf session, to start a long night, to remember the game we'd just played, just because the weather was nice and the top was down, we used to go to Delores. Not the one in Santa Monica adjacent . . . the one on Wilshire, just west of LaCienega. We always went there for Suzy-Q fries with Delores Sauce and a Cherry Lime Rickey. Delores had car hops. You used to honk your horn when y...

Moving to Crescent City Part 4: Galveston

I know what you're thinking. Galveston is also in Texas, so why the separate entry? Because Galveston is a little more special than the rest of Texas. It's the home of the Timmerman's, Kyle and Jenn, whose wedding I blogged about last March. In fact, you can see their home in the photo right above... that adorable white building in the heart of Galveston's downtown. Since Kyle and Jenn were so hospitable and allowed us to pause in our trip and spend an extra night there, we had a lot to do and ...

The iPhone 3G reviews are in: It's pretty good

Apple.comWalt Mossberg (WSJ), David Pogue (NYT) and Edward Baig (USA Today) have been using the new iPhone 3G for a couple of weeks now, and today they all dish on their experiences. They were all fans of the first model, and they're pretty happy about the new model's new features. The reviewers say the phone's 3G network access leads to a much zippier Internet experience, that its audio quality has been dramatically improved, and that it cozies up to Microsoft's corporate e-mail system. But the...
