Batteries Plus? Who needs a store dedicated to batteries? Turns out, I do!

The other day, my mildly crunchy wife asked I take her to lunch, then drive to Batteries Plus so she could recycle a bag of old batteries she's been carrying around in her car for months. She had discovered online, Batteries Plus recycles them.

I Love Dunkin Donuts! Or is that my caffeine addiction talking?

I Love Dunkin Donuts! Or is that my caffeine addiction talking?

Recently, a new Dunkin Donuts opened one mile from my house, directly on my route to work. Happily, and unfortunately, I can now stop every morning and enjoy a breakfast sandwich and hot coffee or stop on the way home for a coffee pick-me-up.

Project & Time Management Tools For Designers and Agencies

Managing projects, tracking time and expenses, and running your design business isn't something they teach in school (though they should). It's often learned under fire, which can be problematic when you're trying to run your business.

Creativity On Demand, Not Always

Creativity On Demand, Not Always

One of the most challenging aspects of design, is being creative on demand. Shifting creative energies from one project to the next can be mentally taxing. And I'll admit it, sometimes, the creative spigot shuts off...so how do you cope?

A tasty cocktail recipe

As a budding mixologist - I like to try new cocktails. I have a few recipe books and I've slowly been working my way through. Then the other night...disaster, I couldn't find my book...so I had to create a cocktail from scratch. It turned out yummy.

The economy sucks....so what?
