Open Letter to the .01%: Stay Home #occupyoakland
I have mixed feelings on the #Occupy movement. As a part of the 99%, I am in support of the idea of a movement. I am less enamored with a leaderless, undefined movement. That being said, Occupy is great opportunity for anyone to take part in the movement.
All throughout the day, I checked in on the activities at #OccupyOakland on Twitter. I am an Oakland booster, and I was hoping nothing...

Living Social, the second largest daily deal site after Groupon, has sold $10 million worth of coupons for Whole Foods in under 24 hours. That’s more than this weekend’s combined box-office receipts for Our Idiot Brother, Shark Night 3D and Apollo 18. The Washington, DC-based Living Social sold out of its one million $10 coupons; each are redeemable for $20...

Eats: Local Cafe is Open (Piedmont Ave)
As reported a few weeks ago, it looks like it’s official, Local Cafe is open. Dinner is slated to start next month. I am sad there are no espresso drinks. The prize for best 3rd wave coffee on Piedmont Ave is still up for grabs!
Here’s an excerpt of the menu.

Easy ways to make your office more green
Everyone is trying to go green. Here a few easy ways your business more green. 1. Minimize the number of individual printers on employees desks. It is amazing how much less people print when they need to walk further. ;) 2. Convert to digital paystubs, if you haven’t already. I imagine many employees review, scan, shred. This cuts out lots of steps for your employees and you HR team....

#Palmpre: Crackberry for the rest of us?
Raise your hand if you know a blackberry user. Keep them raised if the use it for personal stuff. Keep them raised if the personal > work. I’m sure if we were in a room of 100 people the number of hands left in the air would be less than 20. Blackberries are the consumate work phone. To get your mail your company needs a special server.

Palm Pre impressions #palmpre
Wrapping my first day with my pre. A few thoughts: I love the screen and the UI. The screen is really sharp and the system font looks great. It’s modern and polished at the same time. About the cards: I have hit the limit a few times. Noticed that when I use Tweed from the launcher it starts a new card. I think that’s a bit annoying. Otherwise they work great. The limits have...
