A quick weather report is now available from Google. Simply type “weather” and a city/state or zip. E.g. “weather 40280“. Certainly not the most complete weather report, but it gives me the relevant information I want faster than any other site. And I hate weather-bug-type apps. I like it. […]
I hit three personal milestones this weekend.
1) Someone who did not have a speaking relationship with me searched for non-Jake related content on the internet and found my site. He found the content he was looking for (Baby Got Book). The site is truly expanding my sphere of influence. Then, recognizing […]

Whole Foods no longer a “grocery” store; breaks new ground into being an all-natural, expensive way of life
4 Comments Published by Jake Allen March 9th, 2005 in UncategorizedWhole Foods, the giant anti-retailer swallowing up smaller co-ops nationwide, now opens showtime shopping complex at headquarters. 1 part Disney, 2 parts Gatlinburg, the chain expects the departmental entertainment concept to spread.
