I’m back from Greece now! Lots to talk about in that regard coming soon. I thought I’d have time to write up a post for today but somehow time zooms by and my backlog of posts is now finished. I hope you enjoyed hearing about Philadelphia and New York. Taking today off of work though [...]

You’ve already met Rocco. I’d like you to also meet Bella, my other long-haired chihuahua! I recently watched one of those animal behavior shows and I could’ve sworn that the dog I saw on TV was none other than Rocco in Yorkie form. This dog had almost the exact same characteristics as Rocco when walking, when [...] Mise en place is French for “everything in its place”. I had heard the term before but was re-acquainted with it when I visited the Culinary Institute of America’s Greystone campus earlier this year. I enjoyed a live cooking demonstration of a braised beef stew, made all the more enjoyable by getting to a sample [...] Meet Rocco. For those of you who haven’t met him, he’s one of my two long-haired chihuahuas. He has a problem. And no, it’s not a licking problem. Perhaps surprisingly, chihuahuas have a tendency to be aggressive and are consistently ranked in the top ten most aggresive dogs. Rocco is no exception. He’s well cared [...] Yesterday I said yes to go golfing. A few friends and I made our way to Carroll Park Golf Course right here in Baltimore. The place is pretty easy to find, though Google Maps did first take me to the wrong end of the course, which happens to be a scrap yard. It had been [...] I work 17 miles from where I live. It takes me anywhere from 25-30 minutes generally to get to work. At most, 45 minutes with heavy traffic. After commuting a distance three times further for a year, my current commute is a breeze. What if I were to take public transportation, though? My almost cheery [...] I’m going to veer off track slightly for this post. It’s a story I find amusing now and hope you will enjoy. It does tie in with my wanting to create a passive income though, so take note on those aspects! Let’s start with some background information first. A few months ago I put some money [...] For the past year now I’ve been tracking how much I drive; that is, how many miles per tank of gas. For fun, I also tracked how much I paid per tank of gas. For reference, I drive a 2002 Nissan Sentra GXE. In the words of Ira Glass, lets do the numbers. In 52 weeks, [...] I created my own font a little while ago using my own handwriting as a template. Download a copy for yourself! Download Here! To get back into the mood of studying I thought I’d start this column. I’m going to call it Stat of the Day, but by no means expect this to be daily! I’ll be presenting a problem and its solution behind the “Full Post” link. Feel free to try it out yourself first and see [...] |
