Laura and GWB: Outsourced Emotions
Tina Brown’s January 20 column about Barbara Walter’s interview with Laura and George Bush was once again full of quotable ‘graphs. Here she talks about how GWB relies on his wife. What was striking in the Walters interview was how often the president looked over at Laura for validation. Even […]
Snowed in Thinking about Folksonomies
What could be cozier than to be snowed in on Green Lane with plenty of coffee, beer, food and a broadband connection? Watching CNN, while airports are closed down and weather forecasters pose with mufflers, gloves and shiny blue parkas. We are setting some kind of record here, I guess….well […]
Leapfrogging Technology
NPR had an excellent commentary on Friday about a man who just came back from the Tsunami zone. He was detailing some of the good that can ultimately come from the misery there. New technologies can be put in place to purify water, provide electricity, and provide work for the […]
Howard Hughes Horrors
Diving back into the Charles Higham biography of billionaire wacko Howard Hughes, I found this nugget. In 1953, when Hughes was planning one of his dreadful ’50s movies, “The Conqueror,” about the life of Genghis Khan, he decided to do the filming in the Nevada desert. At this same time, […]
Men’s and women’s brains are different. Found this on boingboing.net, a directory of wonderful things. Indeed! Here is more from the scientists explaining this fascinating photo: Gray matter represents information processing centers in the brain, and white matter represents the networking of – or connections between – these processing centers.

Blog Rolling Along
Just found this great list site that shows all of the blogs that have updated in the past 60 minutes…it is called fresh blogrolling. It was here that I read a blog by a woman from NC who used to live in WV named Jennifer. She’s a marketing person who […]
First Week as Veep
This week I started a new position as Vice President/Business Development for Airportparkingreservations.com. My business cards came and so it is official. It is all a part of my plan to stop driving two hours every day and to focus my attention fully on website work, which I love. I […]
Van Horn Ain’t Seen Nothin Like This
Jeff Bezos, Amazon ‘multibillionaire’ has big plans for Van Horn Texas. This tiny burg of 3000, smack dab on Interstate 20 in West Texas, is where he’s purchased 165,000 acres for his ranch. Seems Jeff grew up on his grandaddy’s ranch in South Texas, so he wants to show his […]

Big Plane Will Rule the Skies Over Boeing
Airbus Passes Boeing Thirty-five years ago, when Boeing introduced the 747 in Seattle, the 350-passenger plane that was the first jumbo jet redefined air travel. It gave Boeing a competitive edge no one successfully challenged, until now. But now comes the 555 seat JumboLiner. “The A-380 really has no competition […]
Real Friends
You find out who your real friends are when you put out a call for a weekend’s worth of help….and they all come through with smiling faces. Lisa, Kent and Cindy joined us for the weekend of schmoozing and chatting up the website at the booth in NYC. They once […]
What One Man’s Enthusiasm Can Bring
The Adventure Expo travel show was a spectacular success where we were able to show thousands of travelers what GoNOMAD has to offer them. It was, again, so great to be in the Biggest City in the World, and to have new faces like Joe O join the GoNOMAD girls […]
Dinner with the Competition
We met up with two accomplished webheads at our Times Square hotel tonight. We are here in the Big Apple through Sunday for the Adventure Expo, and we thought it would make sense to get together with the owners of Bootsnall.com, one of the most successful alternative travel websites. We […]
Musical Name Grooves
Music that I often like to listen to comes from the computer, actually the garage of this great guy named Rusty out in California. He runs soma.fm, and streams forth the ‘groove salad’ and ‘detective and spy’ music channels, among others. The names of the songs are amusing and sound […]
Travelin’ with Kal
On Wednesday morning we’ll be traveling with Kal, on the Kal London travel show broadcast on a Connecticut radio station. We were glad when the host, an old travel pro, decided to give us the whole 6-8 minutes to talk about GoNOMAD, the upcoming Adventure Expo show in NYC, and […]
Looking for the Perfect TV Host
Note: This is still in the idea stages 10/07 and we are not actively seeking a tv host at this time. We broke in the new GoNOMAD office last night with a terrific 3-hour meeting to discuss the new TV show. Sony Stark and Kent St. John drove down from […]
Not Painting Your Girlfriend Naked
Back reading the NY Times Sunday again….snowstorms, that always seem to blow in on Fridays, continue to make cozyin’ up next to a fire a required part of each day. Sunday’s Styles had a piece about a woman whose partner was painter. He met beautiful girls in his studio and […]
