In re: No Reservations Cleveland Edition

As I mentioned earlier the TV show No Reservations had filmed last January an episode in Cleveland (also has a link to book travel to Cleveland – how exiciting!) and I was under the impression that it was going to premier in September.  I was thus pleasantly surprised to see it at the top of [...]

In re: AT&T DSL customer service fun…

After my time spent with many AT&T customer services folks I became pretty annoyed and penned this up.  This all stemmed from stopping voice service with AT&T and switching to ‘no voice’ or dry loop service, something they didn’t really make me aware of (apparently AT&T denies people want so called naked service and doesn’t mention [...]

In re: Is it wrong to customize?

Some restaurants make it abundantly clear that there are ‘no substitutions’ other restaurants make it the reverse, that they are willing to whip up anything you want.  Is it wrong to go to a restaurant and order something that isn’t on the menu?  I have two modes of thinking  on this, one is that at [...]

In re: On the 8th day he created the iPhone

Okay, so maybe the iPhone is not so perfect that it has some kind of godly origin, but I have been so impressed by the iPhone I decided that I could no longer live without one.  The iPhone has plenty of limitations right now (hopefully many are addressed by future software updates) but the many [...]

In re: Oh those overstated copyrights

If you’ve ever watch practically any major sporting even you are probably aware of those little breaks where they mention that ‘this broadcast and any descriptions may not be used without the express authority of the commissioner…’ or something of that nature.  Without really thinking about it people may somehow think that wow, these sports [...]

In re: Cilantro sauce, inspired by El Arepazo

If you work in downtown Columbus, you hopefully already know and frequently visit El Arepazo for lunch in Pearl Alley, the Venezuelan restaurant that puts out really good Arepas, as well as other Latin food.  One of the things that ijt seems so many of us know about the place is that anything they make [...]

In re: the mythical $10 dsl

I have followed for a bit the story of AT&T’s $10 DSL saga, where they basically hide the fact that they offer to former Bell South customers ‘low’ high speed internet (768 Kbps) as part of an agreement to overcome antitrust hurdles of the merger.  Anyway, the truth of the matter is they don’t really [...]

In re: bar off our backs

Well Its been over a week now of living in post bar exam bliss, all the useless knowledge that had been methodically crammed in over the course of two months has been dumped unceremoniously on the concrete floor of Veterans Memorial hall in downtown Columbus, if it didn’t end up on one of the 12 [...]
