I am blogging from the street, outside the GoNOMAD Cafe. The temps are sort of warm, not embracing, yet the sun is shining. I had a moment of solidarity today, corresponding with Sean Keener of Bootsnall about a type of ad that was proposed to run on our site. They’re […]
Troy McCullough writes in the Baltimore Sun about a new magazine for an unlikely audience. “An old-fashioned trade publication for bloggers? Seriously? The new Blogger & Podcaster magazine – “for aspiring new media titans” – has met with a tepid response from a lot of those titans. Some were sure […]
A favorite customer of ours at the cafe named Tim drops by his copy of the Aircraft Owners and Pilot’s Association magazine, called the AOPA Pilot. I have always been intrigued with flying and with aircraft, so I gave it a skim. Very light jets are the new buzzword in […]
Last night we had a ‘progressive party,’ where we had three courses at three different houses in the neighborhood. It was a fun way to get a chance to see each house, chat at each table, and have something different to eat at each venue. One of the guests was […]
Today’s another Monday at the cafe…full of people working and our new electrician Dave busy down in the musty cellar. He’s installing a big new 220 volt circuit to accommodate….drum roll please…our New Huge Deluxe Cappuccino maker. Tomorrow Marco from Sacuzzo Coffee, of West Hartford, will arrive with the behemoth […]
In the bright LA sunshine I bought a copy of the Los Angeles Times and read a story about hybrid tug boats. This is an initiative not many are aware of; along with vehicle tailpipe emissions, the EPA is after trains, ships and planes to also reduce their emissions. In […]
Last night we went up to Greenfield to the People’s Pint. It was four of us, four old guys in a good mood ’cause it was Friday night. The joint didn’t disappoint–full of happy beer drinkers and a spirit in the air. Maybe it was because it was Friday and […]
Today I’m again behind the counter at the cafe…but that’s a good thing. Business has really taken off this week, I think it might have to do with the new neon OPEN sign as well as the nicer weather and of course, our great sandwiches! But it is inspiring to […]
The NY Post is famously anti-democrat. But today even I was surprised to read on Horse’s Mouth, by Greg Sargent, that the editors there actually rewrote an AP story to smear Dems. The wire service story had this headline and lead: Democrats Challenge Bush on Iraq Bill A historic veto […]
America held back a collective sniffle tonight, as the most popular show on TV went into charity mode, and showed scenes of desperation in Africa and poor folks in Louisiana. It shows the way that fundraising has so radically changed. It’s just much easier…the web, the easy enabling of credit […]
Tonight on PBS I learned about how dogs evolved from wolves…Ray Coppinger, a Hampshire College professor, said that it happened much faster than we’d think. He said it had to do with the ‘flight time,’ how long it would take a wild wolf to get to a food source like […]
Relaxing during a slow moment at the cafe, I picked up the WSJ. There a headline made me do a double take…No Virginia it’s not true. “Going Online Isn’t a Must Move for All Entrepreneurs.” Firms flourishing wihout a site say the Work Isn’t Worth It. Harumph! But I had […]
