Sushi places are few and far between in Pittsburgh and actually finding good ones is even harder. A few weeks ago I was in Shadyside looking at apartments with my friend Sebastian and it was getting late so we decided to look for places to eat. Shadyside is a great place to find unique restaurants….
Getting out of Town
Last week I had a refreshing break from it all. You ever wish you could just get out of town for the day, or take a day to get away from it all? Well it’s been like that for me so I decided to take a day and get out of Pittsburgh. My friend Ellen…
March 2009 Thoughts
Well as most of you have found out by now I did not sell ThinkComputers….gotcha!! Was that a good April fool’s joke or what? Anyways March was a good blogging month for me, well compared to previous months. I wrote 11 posts, which is the most since September 2008! I’m starting to get back in…
I Never Thought the Day Would Come
Just like the title says I never thought this day would come. I started ThinkComputers back in 2002 as just a hobby, nothing I took seriously until my second year of college. From there it became a job to me, but not really. You can’t really call something you love and enjoy so much a…
Positive Positive Positive!
Don’t you just hate negative people? I know that I do! Being negative is never a good thing. I hate when I’m in a negative mood and I try to get out of it as quickly as possible. When you are running your own company you need to have a positive attitude because more often…
Crazy Mocha
In my never-ending search for cool, relaxing places to work at during the day I have come upon a really cool place that anyone who lives in Pittsburgh should know about, Crazy Mocha. My first experience with Crazy Mocha was at the Southside Works location on East Carson street. The first thing I noticed when…
Celebrating St. Patty's In Pittsburgh
Well St. Patty’s day really isn’t until tomorrow, but the celebrations went on this weekend in Pittsburgh. There were events going on all over the city. We had planned to go to the parade, but we just went to Market Square instead. Market Square is at the intersection of Forbes Avenue and Market Street in…
What Gets You Pumped?
Is seems that I talk a lot about motivation on this blog, and that is probably because I do! Motivation is a key thing when you are running your own business. If there is no motivation you tend to not get as much done and you definitely are not as happy. On the other hand…
Working from Panera Bread
I have talked about working from Starbucks before and some other coffee shops, but nowhere else really. The main reason for that is that I usually want coffee when I’m working and in Pittsburgh there really are not that many places you can go, bring a laptop, and get on the internet unless you have…
February 2009 Thoughts
Well if you frequent this blog you know that not much has gone on this month, check out my previous blog entry to see why. This month was a total blur to me, trying to keep up with ThinkComputers and dealing with moving and everything else really made things really stressful. I did make some…
Where Did Bob Go?
Honestly I have been asking myself that same question over and over again. Just a month ago or so I came back from CES and was really charged up to really get things going with ThinkComputers and this blog along with some other things. Well pretty much I’ve had the most unmotivated month of my…
Be Productive on the Road
When I go to conventions and even on vacation I need to have a laptop with me at all times. You never know when the site might go down and you need access to the internet to fix things. Also my sites do not run themselves so I always have to check on things and…
Super Bowl Champs!
Although I am a crazy hockey fan, I do enjoy watching football as well. Being from Pittsburgh we usually always have a good team so the games are a lot of fun to watch. This year the Steelers made it all the way to the Super Bowl, the second time in 3 years! Not many…
Working From Home – No Motivation
As I always say there are ups and downs to doing what I do. I work from home, mainly working on ThinkComputers. While to some this may seem like an awesome job, I make my own hours, I’m my own boss, etc. There is 1 thing that is hard to overcome, it’s the lack of…
In-N-Out Burger
In-N-Out Burger is basically a west coast institution, so many people from the west coast are surprised that we don’t have In-N-Out’s here. In-N-Out burger was first opened in 1948 in Baldwin Park, California. Since then it has expanded with restaurants all over California and in Arizona and Nevada too. I was hanging out in…
