You might think there are no ways to connect the Pirates being .500 on Mother’s Day for the first time since 2002 and Sauerkraut, but you’d be underestimating the focus of a true Pirates fan on this glorious day. In fact, I can think of 5 reasons to talk about...

I’m sitting at my Mother’s waiting for her to come back from church so that we can do easter lunch/dinner and we have chips but no salsa. That made me wonder, is there such a thing as Sauerkraut Salsa? Google says, YEP and we even have a video on how...

In some of the bigger news this month Google tried, and failed, to buy Groupon for some $6 Billion (with a B). The immediate response from the startup community was, “Go Groupon! Turning back the tide on one of the giant monoliths!” The article I linked to reports that Groupon...

Its my first day of vacation so my mind has floated from place to place without staying on any one of them for too long. In that vain, my post is going to be a good idea for a startup and a startup that sounds just awful presented in wandering...
