Currently: Mezzanine Uber Restaurant List
Behold, the latest of my work: The GoPickle Business Directory.
Officially, we're in beta, so there's a lot that remains unreleased today. However, the basic premise works. We have business yellow page listings in 940 regions, and we allow any business in a given region to upgrade their listing to a usable mini-website. Think: Merchant Circle without all the spam and myspaceified social networking garbage.
Abuelos in Rogers, AR:
I'm in the process of decking-out a few example listings, for example, Abuelo's, because it's one of my favorite restaurants in Rogers. We've essentially set the site up so a user can access a business through a handful of paths... You could click Fayetteville > Restaurants > Rogers, AR Restaurants > Abuelo's. Or you could just search by typing the URL into the browser: fayetteville-ar.gopickle.com/search/abuelos
OK, fayetteville-ar isn't real inteuitive, but it's because we're a smaller area. It gets easier when looking through bigger areas... austin.gopickle.com/search/abuelos or, if you're awesome, dfw.gopickle.com/search/medieval+times
So that's it. The tip of the iceberg went public about two weeks ago, but there's still a ton coming. Updates to follow. Please click around and give me your coveted feedback, if you have the time.

Better Off Not Listening to the News
I listened to the news today. Lord knows why. Left column is what I heard. Right column is what also could have been said by the anchors in the same breath, but wasn't.
Actual Headline Brian's Suggested Optional Headline DOW Posts Conservative Gain DOW Back Up 2% in Mid-Day Trading Rally Job Losses Soar, Jobless Rate at 14-Year High US 6.5% Unemployment Resembles Clinton-Era, Exceeds Germany, France, China Ford Posts $3 Billion Loss, Burning Cash Fast Dinosaur Ford Performs According to Analysts' Predictions From Over One Year Ago; Google and Other Innovators Predict Steady Profits Until The End of the World I'm not saying there isn't a recession, but I swear our economy would be much better off if people would just stop listening to media fear mongers.

Married, with 2 great kids, hitting middle-agedness, so why not start a blog, no? I've dabbled in programming real estate, politics, and finance. Recently re-invested assets into the beginnings of Tasman Labs, Inc. (www.tasmanlabs.com), aimed squarely at giving real estate brokerages a competitive edge online. Easily shocked and outspoken readers may apply within for my entertainment at your expense.
