On my recent trip out to Silicon Valley I connected both ways at the Denver International Airport and had lengthy layovers both ways. The first time through I noticed a cool looking bar called Lounge 5280. Since it was early in the morning and I did not feel like I drink I did not stop…
Staying at Aloft Silicon Valley
Last month I had the chance to stay at an Aloft hotel. Aloft is Starwood’s boutique hotel chain. These hotels are actually pretty cool and offer a unique atmosphere. I actually first heard of them when they made a custom playlist for Spotify a year or so ago. Since then I’ve always wanted to check…
Summer 2014 Highlights
Well as you may have noticed I have not blogged in a while. I only really published 1 post a month for the entire summer. I hope that changes soon, but I wanted to recap some of my summer for all who are interested. I should have made posts these things as they were happening,…
10 Things I’ve Learned In the Past 10 Years
Today I turn 30. It does not seem like a big deal to me, but I guess it’s one of those big birthdays sort of like when you turn 21. My 20’s are over and wow does it seem like time flies. When I turned 20 I had no clue how my life would turn…
Buying a Product Because of Instagram
I’m sure by now you’ve heard of Instagram and most likely have an account. If not Instagram is a simple way to take a share photos, and add some cool filters to along the way. It is a social network as well so you can follow users and see what photos they are sharing. I…
Actually Living Life…
If you may have noticed I have not blogged for about a month. So what have I been up to? Well plain and simple I have been living life and loving every second of it! I posted a status update on Facebook about how my life has seemed like a movie lately. Below is that…
Work Hard, Play Hard & More
Well this past Memorial Day weekend was one of the best weekends of my life. I spent each day with great friends and had an all around good time. After all the fun was over I did feel a little down, but the next day I was extremely energized to work and get a lot…
Time To Reset
While at times it seems like everything is going smoothly in life there will always be and most definitely be rough patches. Sometimes when you think you have everything figured out life throws you a curve ball and like all things in life you have to deal with it. I have been through times like…
The Importance of Having a Muse or Hobby
When you are running your own business work can sometimes be all-consuming. There have been many times were I felt like all I ever did was work, I was stressed out, I couldn’t concentrate, it just was not healthy. Over the past year I have introduced hobbies and muses into my life which have really…
The #TIM05 Shipment from Quarterly
I talked about getting my first Quarterly shipment a little while ago, and now I am actually on my 4th shipment from Tim Ferris, the 5th one he has sent out through Quarterly. The reason I like Quarterly over all of those other box-per-month companies is that you are able to follow actual people. If you are following someone you are into you are more than likely going to enjoy the items inside the box.
A Weekend Visiting Finger Lakes Wine Country
I have never been a huge fan of wine, it just really is not my thing. My girlfriend asked me if I wanted to go with her family to the Finger Lakes to visit wineries. While I’m not really a wine person I opted to go along as it is always good to get away….
Dinner at Center Cut Steakhouse
It has been a bit since I updated my blog and I totally forgot to post about my dinner at Center Cut Steakhouse at the Flamingo in Las Vegas. I told my buddy Andy that I would take him out to dinner this year at CES. He wanted to go to a steakhouse and he…
The 2 Bedroom Hospitality Suite at Vdara
My recent trip to Las Vegas was mostly for business with ThinkComputers as the Consumer Electronics show was the week that I went. After booking flights I found that if I left Monday instead of Sunday I would save around $125 so staying another night in Vegas was a no-brainer. After talking to my buddy Jack about staying an extra day he said we should get an awesome suite for the last night. It sounded like a good idea and we decided on a 2 bedroom hospitality suite at Vdara.
Seeing Markus Schulz at Marquee
During my trip to Vegas I made sure to see what DJ’s were going to be in town. There are always great DJ’s playing in Vegas and if the opportunity came up where I could see one I was not going to pass it up. The two big DJ’s that were playing in Vegas the…
Dinner at Social House
If you follow me on Instagram you know one of my favorite things to go eat is sushi. When I was in Las Vegas I had a chance to have dinner at Social House and it was pretty amazing. I actually went to Social House when it was in Treasure Island many years ago. Now it is located inside Crystals at CityCenter. Social House is not strictly a Japanese restaurant it is more Pan-Asian.
