Election Night Look from WBUR

Nov 5th, 2008 | By | Category: Other Stuff, Technology

Last night I joined a dynamic group of people at WBUR, Boston’s National Public Radio station to Twitter About the Election.

Okay, I’m from Boston and you know that we don’t like pronouncing our “R’s”, but what’s better than culture? Free culture! If you have a Bank of America check, credit or ATM card, then you’ll be eligible to go to museums for free on the 1st weekend of every month. This weekend if you bring [...]



Smoke Detector Safety

Oct 16th, 2008 | By | Category: Other Stuff, Real Estate

The majority of the houses I see either have smoke detectors in the wrong spot or the batteries no longer work. [...]

If you’ve never been to the Medford Family Life Education Center on the corner of Central Ave. and Park St., it is a wonderful place working to end homelessness in Greater Boston.

Delta Faucet – Great Customer Service

May 5th, 2008 | By | Category: Other Stuff

It seems like all you see on the Internet is people complaining about poor customer service. We’ve just had great service from Delta, the faucet manufacturer. We installed a new kitchen faucet 8 years ago. It has begun to leak and since it’s a washerless faucet, we can’t just replace the washer to stop the [...]
