I’m always hearing from people about how cruise lines are very good about accommodating food allergies.  What about food allergies which require consumption of organic foods, such as those people who cannot have the compounds in preservatives and pesticides?  Well, turns out the cruise lines will not accommodate these people.  I contacted Carnival, Royal Carribean (RCCL), Disney Cruise lines, and a couple others and got the same answer, “we cannot accommodate organic foods.”  So, not only...

I think for the first time in years I have no actual Halloween related plans this Halloween weekend.  Pretty odd.  I will, however, be intently watching the USC v. Stanford game.  In more professional related news, I’m keeping an eye on the VS Tech v. Twitter case.  Wondering how it will impact Twitter, it at all… (read more about it here ). Read Full Story

I just experienced my first WordPress update error. I have to say, I was a little freaked out. I tried to auto update 5 of my plugins. The update page came back and said there was an error, when I tried to navigate to the updates page to try it again the page went blank and I got this lovely message: “Briefly unavailable for scheduled maintenance. Check back in a minute.” This message appeared on any page associated with the admin/dashboard area. I believe some refer to this as the... Read Full Story

Have you ever been browsing on your phone and you come across the warning/error message “This content is not available on mobile devices”?

This is equivalent to telling me I can only read my newspaper in my kitchen, not my bedroom, and definitely not in the office. That would be absurd right? Because once you have te... Read Full Story

I’m serious… take the stairs. I constantly hear that 1) we should be saving energy, and 2) we should be more active to improve our health. Well, I have a pretty easy solution, take the stairs rather than the elevator. You get where you want to go, avoid using the elevator (and associated energy usage), and get in a little exercise. It seems simple but so many buildings, in LA at least, are built so that it is actually inconvenient to use the stairs. I’m not sure why those who design and... Read Full Story

I saw Horrible Bosses tonight. After hearing how funny it was from my friends, I was worried I would be disappointed. Not the case. It was hilarious. The jokes were funny and the terrible bosses made me laugh about one of my own ex-bosses. It was worth the watch, check it out. Read Full Story

I upgraded my social bookmarking plugin from Sociable to Share This! I think it looks sleeker and should be easier to use. At least I hope. I was really hoping they had the google+ button already but it looks like you need to do that manually. You can see the instructions here . Read Full Story

A few days ago, April 24 the same day as Easter this year, was a day of remembrance for the 1.5 million lives lost during the Armenian Genocide, which took place beginning April 24, 1915.
