Google Spreadsheet

Well, it seems Google is trying to take over any form of software and offer it for free in their own format. They did this with Google Analytics and are now doing it with Google Spreadsheets. The cool part is that you can have your documents with you and share with anyone whenever you want [...]

Back in town

Well, I am back in Memphis. But only for a short bit as I am scheduled to return to Krakow, Poland in July. This trip I rented a bicycle and did about 3 hours of bicycle riding. The next trip I plan on possibly renting the below vehicle to say that I have actually driven [...]

Lajkonik Festival

A festival that I was hoping I would not miss is the Lajkonik Festival. Most tourist booklets did not have the correct dates. It seems this happens regularly per the Tourist Information Center. Some places had the festival posted on June 5th and others the Thursday after Corpus Cristi which was on June 22nd. I [...]

Up and Running

The other day I mentioned that my battery died on my camera and I was not able to upload my photos. That was part of the story. The other part was that my hour internet time was also almost up and I did not feel like going back to the room to get my spare [...]

Photos

This evening I tried uploading all my photos to flickr.com, but had my battery die on me. I will try again tomorrow. For those at work, you will have to access these photos from another location as it seems work has blocked flickr.com.
I will try to post a few here on the [...]

Way behind

I am way behind on my post. I actually have about 5 post that I am working on that I will try to back date. I plan on posting these in the next day or 2. But before I go there. While I was in the Hotel Bar posting, Barb C, Audrey [...]

Bicycle ride in Krakow, Poland

Sunday, June 18th I tried waking up around 8am, but my body just would not have it. I actually woke up around 11 am, showered and made my way to Rent-a-Bike. I told they guy that I would b renting the bike the entire day and planned to ride to Kosciusko Mound and then the [...]

Weekend Plans, Not.

Well, my weekend plans did not go as planned. I mentioned a few days ago or more that I wanted to do a handful of things on the weekend here in Krakow, Poland.
Saturday, I was able to walk up the 228 or so steps of the Wieza Mariacka (St. Mary’s Church). It was very impressive [...]

Lajkonik Parade

I am going to try and attend the Lajkonik Parade. It take place during my lunch break and is only a 5-10 minute run from the Lubicz Center. If lucky, I will be able to see the entire procession and attend the rest of the festival in the evening after work.
Here is a photo with [...]

Weekend Plans

I am going to try and attempt the below for the weekend include a short list of items.
Climb top of St. Mary’s CathedralClimb top of the Clock Tower and visit the MuseumAviation MuseumRent Bicycle (lots of out of the city attractions)
I will try to add lots more as they become available.

Hotel Lobby

As you might have guessed Europeans love their soccer, I mean futbol. I have learned not to call it soccer. The hotel even did a special flower arrangement in the main lobby. Photo can be found below. If you cannot tell, the center object is a soccer ball made out of carnations.

Boom Boom Room.

Before reading on, this is not meant to offend, but really happened to me last night.
I was watching TV and I heard a very faint noise in the background, so I turned off the volume to find that the people in the room next to me were very busy. Instead of hearing the English “oh, [...]

Bicycle Rider

Strolling through the Main Square in Krakow, Poland I spotted this guy walking his bicycle around for a bit. I stalked him to see if I could catch him actually riding it, but I had not luck. I am hoping he will be out next weekend to see if I can get a better picture [...]

German Bathrooms

As mentioned earlier, I was stuck in the Munich, Germany Airport way too long. I noticed a few odd things or at least odd for me.
First off, all the urinals had a fly painted on them. Yes, I was bored enough to take a photo.

The second thing was in the bathroom stall next to the [...]

World Cup

While in the Munich, Germany airport, I noticed many things promoting the World Cup. One of the two that I found interesting was the what seemed to be a World Cup Trophy wrapped in paper in the baggage claim conveyor belt.
The second item promoting the World Cup or Foosball were the Luftansa Foosball tables scattered [...]

Lost Traveler

Left Memphis International Airport (MEM) Friday evening at around 7:30 pm and arrived in Munich barely on time. Out of breath and dripping with sweat I made my way to the KLM plane to Munich, Germany. Landed there to find that my bags were not check all the way to Krakow, Poland. [...]

It is that time again.

Postcard time. I am off to Krakow, Poland again for work. If you are interested in a Postcard and I know you, please post a comment with your information and I will be sure to do my best to send you a postcard.
Don’t worry, your information will not be posted for all to see.

$2.95 article from a $.50 paper.

I currently get the Commercial Appeal at home and wanted to finish reading an article online on a break at work the next morning. To my surprise, the Commercial Appeal now charges for their online archived content, even a day later. If anything it should not be officially archived for a few days. I was [...]

Strawberry Dessert

Now that you mouth has watered over the Paella, now it is time for dessert. Over the weekend the dessert of choice was chocolate covered straberries. If you notice in the picture, some were white chocolate drizzled with milk chocolate and milk chocolate drizzled in vanilla. The strawberries were huge and fresh.

More Google Maps

I posted about Google Earth a while ago. Well, now you can go beyond the Earth and get satellite images from other planets. You can now get satellite images of Google Moon and Google Mars. Both of these are onyl snapshots of a particular area. It does not work like Google Earth. Be sure to [...]

Paella 2.0

This weekend, I help my parents cook Paella again for a business dinner. This time we used the large pan. To give you an idea on how big, it took 2 people to carry it into the house. In this Paella there was rice, scallops, shrimp, fresh water shrimp (hard shelled blue shrimp), crawfish, lobster, [...]

Jeep Wave

I have always wondered why people in other Jeeps wave at me. Yes, I have a Jeep Wrangler, but does that mean I have to wave? What if I opt not to waive. Will I get chased down like Tony Roy did when he had his Jeep for not waiving back?
Well, I did a search [...]

Pint Lock

Here is something that would be nice to prevent others from eating your Chunky Monkey or my favorite Chocolate Fudge Brownie. It is a Pint Lock. You can actually lock you ice cream to prevent others from eating it. Perfect for the office environment.
You can find this at Ben and Jerry’s.

Squeal like a pig.

Last night while watching “Good Eats” with Alton Brown on Food Network he was cooking kabobs and it made me think of something I saw in Krakow, Poland recently. During many festivals they usually have food vendors like we have here in the states. One thing I noticed was a rotiserrie pig grill and I [...]
