I wrote a brief article on Google’s new search algorithm, Caffeine, and it was published this morning. You should definitely go check out the article and leave some love or hate in the comment section: http://www.rev2.org/2010/03/04/caffeine-boosts-google/
Lately I’ve been gearing up hardcore for triathlon season. I signed up for the Nautica South Beach Triathlon which is exactly 40 days away and I’ve been training pretty consistently for about two weeks now. This year I decided that I needed to put on weight again so I’ve gotten back into lifting along with swimming, biking, and running. …click here to read more
Despite the fact that our few weeks of cold weather are sputtering out and it will most likely be uncomfortably hot and humid before long, I present to you a new way to tie your scarf. Here’s to hoping that we have another week or two of cold weather…
Bump is one of my favorite iPhone applications and probably one of the least utilized. If you’re not familiar with Bump, it allows you to “bump” your iPhone into another iPhone and exchange contact info, see mutual contacts, and send other contacts or photos. With the latest upgrade you can even choose to befriend someone on Facebook with a bump. …click here to read more
Recently, I got a chance to check out Fort Lauderdale’s newest restaurant and night life offering, SoLita on Las Olas. As I walked up I could already tell I was going to enjoy the ambiance – the bar was beautiful and posh, something that Las Olas is severely lacking. Walking in I was even more impressed, not only was the bar fresh and modern, but the entire restaurant vibe matched. …click here to read more
Today was another day filled with a nerd conference, BarCamp Miami 2010. I had a great time and actually preferred this much more than WordCamp, probably because of the varied subjects. You see, WordCamp is catered just towards WordPress, while BarCamp is a mix of any subject that people want to talk about. Attendees sign up to present the day of the conference so you never know exactly what subject will pop up.
Today I got to take part in discussions and see presentations on everything from crowd sourcing to Digg to business development for geeks. At least these were the topics that were on the board, somehow talk of me spreading my seed, GILFs, and lap dances also became topics of discussion.
Here’s Craig (@lapp) talking about his favorite past time activity:
I woke up late with a piece of gum stuck to the back of my leg Saturday morning – the aftermath of the incredible For Art’s Sake show the night before. Somehow I still managed to make it down to the University of Miami for WordCamp 2010.
It was what you would expect for an event centering around Wordpress. A bunch of nerds talking about nerdy stuff and playing around on social networks while speakers are giving presentations…just like yours truly in this picture.
And give me a break, I look rough…like I said, I woke up with a piece of gum stuck to my leg.
It’s finally here. The For Art’s Sake show is tonight and tomorrow night at The Bubble (IWAN)…come out and show your support for the local Fort Lauderdale art scene!
The Bubble (IWAN)
810 NE 4th Ave
Fort Lauderdale, FL 33304
IWAN is a little hard to find but it’s the only building with a huge mural on it, plus there should be a lot of people going in and out. There is a chain fence in front of it.
$5 general admission or $10 for admission and drinking
6PM to Midnight
I discovered Sweeter Days Bake Shop two days ago. Since then I’ve made three trips. On the first trip they were completely sold out, but between the other two trips I’ve eaten a total of four and a half cupcakes. Simply put, the cupcakes are delicious.
I’ve devoured the White Chocolate & Raspberry, the Poppies and Cream (my favorite), the Key Lime Coconut, the Signature, and Clouds of Coconut. Every single one has been as equally delectable as the previous one – none overly sweet or too dense.
Sweeter Days has “satellite cupcakes” at both Brew locations, but I recommend going to the store. The whole aura is pleasing – from the store/brand design to the owners’ attitudes, plus the cupcakes are a million times better fresh, in-store than they are after being held captive in the refrigerator at Brew. Oh, and you can have wash it down with a small carton of milk. Perfect.
For baking the best cupcakes in town, More Willie gives Sweeter Days two thumbs up. Try it.
South Florida is being overrun by Saints and Colts fans eagerly awaiting kickoff this evening. It’s hard not getting amped about the Super Bowl when it’s being hosted 20 minutes away from you. Even with the hectic week I’ve had – family in town, moving, and work – I couldn’t help but feel the mounting excitement for today. Also, I’m happy to say that I’ve given in to the “Who Dat” nation and will be cheering whole heartedly for the New Orleans Saints today, probably at the Saints bar that’s up the street. I’m sure it’ll be absolute chaos – Mardi Gras comes early to Fort Lauderdale this year.
