When milling through Fark today I came across an article in the Star Tribune, “Restaurant tipping points“. I was thinking that this article would be about what is the proper way to tip those that serve you when dining out. Instead it was about how the people that serve you try to get back at you and what they think you, their customer, should be tipping. So, that made me think about what do I think about when I go to tip somebody for service done when dining out. Continue reading “What to Tip?”
And It Begins
Well, today was the first day of my new job at Avanade. I must say, it was pretty laid back. But, the rest of my day was anything but. Continue reading “And It Begins”

Networking
I can say that my life has been less and less exciting since I graduated. It is not that I have had nothing going on, but nothing that really stands out as something worthy of writing. But, one thing that I have been putting off, not without thought though, is networking. Stephanie and I are curious on how we all stay in touch after graduation. We have built quite the community over the past year and a half and it would be a shame to see it all vanish.
So, Ryan, what did you have in mind?
Honestly, I really don’t know. I mean, I like blogs, but I know that some people don’t like blogging. I also kept tossing around the idea of a hosted site that could be used for the 4th cohort to stay in contact. It could aggregate blog, flickr, whatever, feeds of information and present it. I think that would be pretty cool. It could also store contact information and whatnot, really whatever we wanted. But, I am only one of many in this and I’m curious if people are interested in such a thing. I think that it would be cool to have, even more so after we all start to move apart in physical locations.
What I’m looking for is some sort of constructive feedback on what people would like to see, or if they would like to see nothing done at all. But, if you have something to offer to the plate, let me know! I want to know what you would use such a site for. Would it be like other networking packages out there? Do we just use one of those that are already made? Or do we make something more customized? Any constructive thoughts that you have would be a great help!

Well… Well…
I can’t say that I’ve been up to nothing for the past couple weeks, I just made the decision to cut off my digital ties as much as possible. But, now I’m back to the regular digital lifestyle. It was nice to step away and head back to Minnesota for a little bit. I just did nothing. I really did, all you have to do is ask my Mom. I sat around and did nothing. Well, played the PS2 for a bit, but that’s about it. It was a much needed break away from everything. But, now I’m back in Washington and getting ready to start work next Wednesday.
