Filed under: — admin @ 2:40 am

Ok, new section for us to welcome the era of Web 2.0. Ok, so we’re a little late to the party, big deal. So wha. Hey, I bet ya didn’t know they were already working on Web 3.0. Gotcha ya there didn’t I? It’s called Semantic Web and it’s bound to short out a couple of brain circuits.

For our first video. Revealing magic tricks. This one is pretty easy.

Timberline Skiing SNOWBOARDIN’! (B.A.R Rating 4 out of 5)

Filed under: — admin @ 9:34 pm

Every time we take off on a ski/snowboard trip, all bipartisan efforts fail and factions splitter off to prepare to viciously debate the single most important question of the entire trip, who has more fun, skiers or snowboarders?

… obviously, snowboarding rocks.

Regardless of sporting preference, everyone does agree that skiing and snowboarding at Timberline in West Virginia is a pretty nice mountain retreat. Everything is reasonably priced, the lodges are spankin’ nice, and the mountain ain’t bad if you base it on East Coast standards. And if you’re lucky, like us, you’ll get a nice snowstorm just after you arrive.

New Years at La Tasca (B.A.R. Rating 4 out of 5)

Filed under: — admin @ 12:43 pm

Keeping true to the party spirit gods, La Tasca was home for us for a night. If this is how the Spaniards party, we have got to book some flights very soon!

La Tasca is actually located near the MCI center in downtown Washington D.C. It’s a great Spanish Tappas Bar & Restaurant. The Sangria is abundant, the four course meals are plentiful, and the all-woman Salsa/Jazz band is imported directly from New York.

Where’s the best carnival party in the world? Bahia (B.A.R. rating 4 out of 5)

Filed under: — admin @ 7:52 pm

If you said New Orleans or Rio, you came close enough. But without question, the nuttiest place to party for carnival, is Bahia Brazil.

The party is overwhelming and relentless. Into day 3 of the festivities and I had to stay inside and recoop. Plan to arrive early, plan on dancing in the streets, and plan on massive hangover after it’s all said and done.

A solid 4 out of 5 B.A.R.s

Throw a Crab & Cicada Party (B.A.R. rating 2 out of 5)

Filed under: — admin @ 7:02 pm

Cicadas only come around 14 or 17 years and so this year, we happen to throw a Crab and Cicada party for them. Since no one actually ate a Cicada, our B.A.R. rating slipped a bit. Good times, good times. Too bad we have to wait another decade and half to throw the next one.

Throw a Crab & Cicada Party is an easy rating 2 out of 5 B.A.R.s
