ChatRoulette is a new website that is arousing many folks these days. For those of you who aren’t plugged into the latest web fads, the website enables you to have web chat conversations with random strangers all over the universe. Credit goes to NY Magazine for writing the review that strated much of [...]
One of the most interesting business opportunities on the L-Hoops radar is the ability for small businesses to leverage digital to locally market to their customers. Put more plainly, how can the pizza place, neighborhood bar, barber shop, arcade, bowling alley or Japanese massage parlor use the web as a marketing tool to drive [...]
I was fortunate to be able to get some time off over the holidays and checked out Costa Rica for ten days. It’s an awesome country and with some decent planning and a little luck, the vacation unfolded perfectly. The beaches, waterfalls, weather and Imperial beer were all pura vida. But one of [...]
I’m planning a trip with a few friends to Costa Rica over Christmas break. So far we haven’t done much planning. Besides booking a flight, everything else is pretty much yet to be determined.

I’ve been home for a few days now and I’m just getting back into the swing of things. Actually, I’m sure the “swing of things” will smack me in the face as soon as I step back into the office this morning. It’s nice to be back stateside. Enjoying the luxuries of [...]
I decided to extend my trip by a few days and head down to Mumbai. These days, most people recognize Mumbai as the city in India that was attacked by terrorists in November. But Mumbai is much more than that. It’s a hustling and bustling international city of over twenty million people. Much [...]
On Sunday we took a road trip from Delhi to Agra to see the world famous Taj Mahal. It’s a little over 100 miles from Delhi but takes about four hours each way through crappy roads with lots of traffic. Luckily we had a comfortable van and a competent driver so the trip wasn’t [...]
