Famster… Upon Further Inspection

Tuesday, August 15th, 2006

While cruising around Digg today I found an entry about a site called Famster. It looked to be a great site to get your family located online. The service looked really promising from the outside and after signing up I thought that it might be something that I’d share with the rest of [...]

First Look: Google Finance

Monday, March 20th, 2006

Tonight I was introduced to Google Finance by Aaron. At a first glance it’s very “Google”. Not a lot of data, a simple design, and information that they’ve harvested from the Internet. But, if you take a closer look at a stock chart, you will be blown away. Or, well, at least I was.

Review: Azura Asian Bistro

Saturday, January 14th, 2006

This morning, after deciding that we didn’t want a typical breakfast, Jamie and I made a venture to Azura Asian Bistro at the bottom of First Hill. We’ve been getting flyers in the ValuPak for a couple weeks now and we decided that their lunch buffet ($9.90 on Sat & Sun 11a-3p) would be a [...]

Google Talk Beta

Wednesday, August 24th, 2005

Today Google Talk Beta went live. What it is, right now at least, is a Jabber server that you can use to talk to your friends, but without a lot of functionality outside of voice and text chat. In addition to the text chat it provides, it also has voice capability that is similar to [...]

Dave Matthews Band at the Gorge

Sunday, August 21st, 2005

Last night Jamie, Kevin, Ash, and myself made the trek to Central Washington to see the Dave Matthews Band preform at the Gorge Amphitheatre. I had never been to the Gorge before to see a concert and in addition to that, the last time I saw DMB was when I was a Junior/Senior (I [...]
