I’d love to meet the guy who found my site via a search for “croation smurfs.”
Ultra extreme fever!

Back from Carmine’s. Who knew a Russian would make the best pizza on Cape Cod?
Hello, new followers. I’m nearing follower #200. Who will it be?
Sadly, Carmine’s has no website I can link to for your viewing pleasure. :(
Television is better when accompanied by snarky commentary on Twitter.
Girl at the pizza joint recognized my voice/order over the phone. “Oh hi, Dave.” Is that bad?

Filed under: Hardware, MacBook Air
The World’s Thinnest Laptop will soon have competition. Macworld is reporting that (at least) two unnamed manufacturers intend to use the tiny Intel chip that powers the MacBook Air. Steve Jobs made a big deal about it at this month’s Macworld Expo keynote address. The chip uses Intel’s 965GMS chipset, and has a footprint 60% smaller than...
Fed up with Twitter →
Twitter is fun, social and sometimes informative. When it’s working. And that doesn’t happen very often.
I accept downtime for the sake of maintenance. I also accept the occasional unforeseen breakdown. But Twitter seems to be offline more often than it’s on, and I’m out of patience (and I’m not alone).
So, find me on Pownce: http://pownce.com/dcaolo/. Goodbye, Twitter. Here’s hoping you get...
OK, I can’t follow Twitter, IM and Pownce. Something must be removed from the equation.

Mr. Burns USB webcam. What is there to say other than, “Excellent.”
Off to ballet class (for my daughter, not me. NO ONE wants to see me in a leotard, trust me).
I like that my kids enjoy They Might Be Giants as much as I do. John and John FTW!
Does anyone else mentally outline lengthy blog posts while in the shower?

Forget Starbucks! Work at the library →
Many web workers and freelancers like to get out of the house once in a while and set up shop at Starbucks, Borders or the local coffee shop. I did this, too, until I realized that there’s a much better - and cheaper - option just down the road. My library. Here’s why I love it so.
No distractions
Starbucks is erupting with distractions. The first is the music. I like to listen to music when I...

You’ll even be able to add...

Three easy ways to deal with office interruptions →
You’re sitting at your desk feeling motivated and enthusiastic. You’ve identified your tasks for the day, the tools are in place and your Productivity Music is playing quietly in the background. Just then, someone walks into your office and issues a request (I don’t know about your office, but in mine people just walk in and start talking).
“I need this,” they say. “I need that.” Then the phone...
