Remember that scene by the pool in The Graduate when they whisper that all important word?“Plastics. ” My new word is “Mobile.” I just helped set up a new website that will show up beautifully on mobile phone or iphone screens as well as on any computer or laptop. Again […]
I’m still thinking about our Travel writing seminar at the Javits Center on Saturday. It was exciting to have an audience of 180 listening to every idea we had about how to break into the travel writing business. I was impressed because many of the people in the audience were […]
Valerie Sophie is just six weeks old. New and barely unwrapped. I used my cute little videocamera called a Vado HD by Creative that’s about the size of a cellphone to shoot her in high definition, and of course, put her on YouTube. Who can resist those tiny little hands? […]
I’ve been getting pats on the back for not sipping anything alcoholic since Dec 29. The best part was last night when after being away four days, my daughter and son-in-law remarked that I looked ‘way less puffy, smaller, like someone took a pin and deflated you.” I never knew […]
Driving home last night on the packed FDR drive in the truck, I tuned into 770 am and heard some startling words from host John Bachelor. He had two experts on from Dow Jones, and they rattled off scary facts that made me shudder. For example, the total dollars held […]
Here’s the gang at the show ready to talk about the website to the crowd. From left, Joe O’Rourke, our seasonal tradeshow vet, Cindy Bigras, Travel Writer, Editor and Paul Shoul, Staff Photographer.
We dutifully forked over another thirty bucks to get the Wi-Fi at the booth, so now I can show you all the tent that we’re using here at the show. Our staff artist Dave Chouinard created some excellent signage, as he does for the cafe and the website, and his […]
We’re in the big Apple for the next three days, meeting friends, reader and advertisers who all know us through GoNOMAD. Last night Kent and I took a long, circituitous taxi ride down to the lower East Side to a bar called Lolita. Packed in like sardines, 20-somethings guzzled drinks, […]
I bought a used ipod Touch the other day, and it came on a messy looking taped up box. It has an engraving, that says ‘Verlyne megan miller’and ‘be humble’ beneath. After I charged it up, I opened some of the icons on the touchscreen and was given a window […]
A most excellent article just came out about my favorite little towne. I had a fun time with the writer from BusinessWest, Joe Bednar, with whom I spent part of an afternoon with a few weeks ago trumpeting how great Deerfield is. At one point I took him outside of […]
Nathan smiles for the camera, but sister Sofie is a little wary pictured in her party dress.
Last night we were amazed to see the change in the score. Suddenly, the Cardinals looked like they might squeak it out. We all watched as the Steel Curtain went down. Wow! I have good memories of my visit last June to this small city of just 400,000 with with […]
