Posting what i know about Waveland and Bay St. Louis, MS.
As a New Orleans native, it is my god given birthright to expose any so-called “New Orleans” restaurant that exists outside the state of Louisiana to be a complete fraud. Today, for the first time ever, I am using my birthright to declare Macrella’s Cookery

The day after Mardi Gras, I drove up to Hattiesburg, Mississippi for a Geek Dinner. We had a good turnout of 13 people, including several from out-of-state. 2 people drove several hours from Mobile, Alabama, and 1 guy even drove 6 hours from Tennessee!!

Wow, two non-Tip of the Day posts from me on back-2-back days. Have I finally recovered from my ToD ordeal? Last week, I finally got to meet my book editors. As I stated in the acknowledgements of my book, I never understood why book authors always profusely

It feels weird not to append a # at the end of a blog title. Oh Tip of the Day, what have you done to me? Anyways… I’m really excited to see a .NET User Group get created back home. Shout outs to Keith Elder and Aubrey Cote for getting this

I'm in New Orleans right now (Miss Gulf Coast to be exact), and I just heard The 12 Yats of Christmas on the radio today. Hysterical. Anyone from New Orleans will crack up listening to this. The music video is up on youtube of course, but

Yesterday, my Channel 9 interview went live that we did about a month ago on Blogging and Katrina (2 years in review), and of course, women in technology. You'll note that I'm still talking about the power toys stuff, because my transition to the CodePlex

2 years later... Let's take a second to raise our morning coffee cups in honor of the people of New Orleans and the Mississippi Gulf Coast on this day. And for those in Seattle, try to point towards the space needle (i just always wanted to say that).

Could you imagine if the Saints had played Chicago for a chance at the superbowl in the Superdome? New Orleans may have (barely) survived Katrina, but it wouldn't have survived that football game. Had the Seahawks won, i would have changed my flight back

Yeah, way behind on blogging.... Not much to report in terms of progress in Waveland's recovery since this summer . Running out of propane in one's FEMA trailer was not fun, bringing the temp inside the winterized trailer to 41 degrees. The temps back
