Check out this amazing little app, Second Glass which allows you to discover new wines, remember what you are drinking (even though we all know that this would not be a problem for any of you after a few glasses of vino;) at their Wine Riot events. Best part of it all…access it right on your phone (Iphone or Android compatible). Bringing two of my faves together, wine and technology, how can you go wrong? Downloading and sipping as we speak.
I love this idea. I think I just might help promote their entrepreneurial spirit by donating a little cash on Kickstarter!
Shameless plug for my friend Nickey Skarstad (Atta girl), who is the Seller Education Specialist at Etsy. She is droppin’ some knowlegde…Check out the short vid clip!
My favorite billboard in San Francisco is coming down, The Yahoo sign, after an almost 12 year run! My second favorite runner up, the infamous Coca Cola billboard (which just recently underwent a makeover, getting all new LED, Eco friendly bulbs) is still around though..whew! I hope this one doesn’t follow suit to the Yahoo board… breaking up is hard to do.
WoW, these are crazy numbers!
Forget Gen Y, just call us Gen Mobile

A whole new “spin” on Laundry. Very innovative, Eco-friendly and cost effective!

Nobel Peace Prize winners. From left to right: President Ellen Johnson-Sirleaf of Liberia (AP Photo); Liberian activist Leymah Gbowee (AP); Yemeni Tawakul Karman who head the organisation Women Journalists Without Chains (AP).
They were awarded the prize for “for their non-violent struggle for the safety of women and for women’s rights to full participation in peace-building work.” Johnson-Sirleaf is Liberia’s first elected female president and has acted as a reformer in her time in office. Gbowee organized a group of Christian and Muslim women to stand up to Liberian warlords. Karman is a Yemeni journalist who is both a women’s rights activist and a leading protest organiser in Yemen’s Arab Spring uprisings.
