Most Wine Should Be Sold in Boxes: “Most Wine Should Be Sold in Boxes”

May 24, 2008 – 3:51 pm
A few years ago I had a co-worker take my résumé, slap his name on it, and shop it around. Unethical and brazen, but sometimes you have to just let things go. Well, I have been getting calls for a “Brian” on my cell phone recently about my résumé. Is this a case of a [...]

Mobile entry of information? That’s a definite plus, albeit one with lots of questions. [...]

January 2, 2008 – 2:52 pm
After some gnashing of teeth I decided to go out and buy a new cable modem and have it provisioned as new service. Lo and behold! I have Internet access at home again. While I had the technician, I had him look through the systems. As I suspected, Comcast never provisioned my old cable modem [...]
