San Francisco Treat

Sunday, August 24th, 2008

I'm moving from NYC to San Francisco today. (And opening a new California branch of Squidoo! Well, if a one person office counts...)
Naturally, I went looking to see what our lensmasters have to say about the city, and found more than a double a couple of terrific lenses. Here they are, hope you enjoy.
A colorful [...]

Me Bruce Lee (Actually, no, Bruce is).

Friday, August 22nd, 2008

So I'm about to test for my blue belt in Kung Fu. On a broken toe no less. Don't mess with my Flying Tiger.

He's even featuring Olympics tickets for sale on [...]

Equestrian Olympics (and much more)

Friday, August 15th, 2008

"One of the many reasons that I love watching the Olympics is the variety of sports that I am able to see and hopefully learn more about. This year, I had a goal of becoming better informed about Equestrian events. Luckily for me (luckily for [...]

Virtual Concert for Charity

Thursday, August 14th, 2008

The Squidoo Activists recently hosted a virtual concert for charity.
The idea was that most of us dogooders out there spend so much time putting together and participating in fundraisers and golf outings and bake sales and walkathons--when we could also, much more easily, sit down at the computer for 30 minutes and make a [...]
