Review Of Hotel Max Seattle: You Could Rent a Minivan It’d be Cheaper and Larger

Because of the huge amount of Social Media outreach that Jen over at Hotel Max does, I decided to give it a try.  Described as a “hip boutique hotel” with “Fab Service” I would have to say it is more like Tiny Hotel, with a miserable failure for service.  I review a lot of Hotels, [...]

The Beverly Hills Hotel Ups The Tech In The Presidential Bungalows

Our next stay at the Beverly Hills Hotel should be a little more like Home for Diz and me.  Diz is constantly frustrated at How Hard it is to get the Xbox to hook in to the flat screens in most hotels.  The Beverly Hills Hotel Presidential Bungalows however are about to be upgraded with [...]

This is Love

Just a random pic Diz took with my phone of her and Nala cuddling on the couch. Have you ever seen a cat look so happy. Yes, that is the couch in the Extended Stay we are crashing at.

Review of The Ritz Carlton Half Moon Bay

We recently stayed at the Ritz Carlton in Half Moon Bay.  If you follow Robert Scoble you know he lives very near there and walks over to hang out in their restaurant.  So, once you get over the fact that you might take a vacation to get away from it all, and run in to [...]

My R56 Mini Gets a Much Needed Upgrade

I’ll try and remember to get some pictures, but she needs a bath first.  My Mini Cooper S just got a much needed upgrade.  Rather than the John Cooper Works 205 18×7 Rims with a 35 tire on them, I upgraded to a set of 215s at 18x8x40 this makes the tire a bit thicker [...]

John Corbett of Sex and the City and Diz Heat It up on the Red Carpet

Diz looks like an elf next to the very tall John Corbett.  Diz was swooning over him, and he was gracious enough to pose twice with her since the first time I messed up the picture.  That’s ok this pic has a nicer back drop.

Our Stay at the Beverly Hilton Oscar Night

Diz and I did our annual pilgrimage to Beverly Hills to Co-Produce the Night of 100 Stars, and while the event is at the Beverly Hills Hotel, we stayed this year at the Beverly Hilton. The Beverly Hilton is a great hotel, with good dining, great location, and all the amenities you would expect. I [...]

American Airlines Makes Holiday Travel Go From Bad To Worse

Visiting my Parent’s in Michigan is always hard, they live a long ways from the nearest airport, and prefer to pick me up at Toledo (TOL) because the airport is easy to get in and out of by car.  This limits my flying options, because American Eagle is about your only choice if you are [...]

My Next Car Might Be a 2011 Lexus LFA

Diz and I hit the Tokyo Auto show, and while for the most part being from Michigan I prefer the Detroit Motor Show, but you take what you can get.  At the Tokyo Show most of what you get is cars for midgets (Diz felt right at home) {I love you}. Diz has been much [...]

NPR’s Eton Radio With Out The Donation

Don’t tell the guys at NPR, but rather than making a donation in my Mom’s name to get her a radio like the one I got, I just picked one up from a site online.  I got an Eton radio when I contributed to KQED, but my mom wanted one so instead of ponying up [...]
