The Thank God It’s the End of the Semester Round-up
Written by dave in Thursday, December 4th 2008
I still have a few tedious end-of-the-semester chores to finish up, but mostly this semester is over.

Tampa Foodie Video
Written by dave in Sunday, September 14th 2008
It just occurred to me how quickly Tampa-area foodie video is growing. If I were a well-heeled entrepreneur I think I'd be contacting everyone below about starting the Tampa Food Network. Comment if you can think of more.

Hurricane Round-up
Written by dave in Monday, August 18th 2008
Yowza! I've been neglecting my blogging side of life. I think my body returned from my long weekend at the beach, but not my brain. I wonder if anyone will notice?
