Welcome to a new feature on Work, Wine and Wheels. Periodically I’ll be looking at selections from Robert Parker’s “The World’s Best Wine Values Under $25,” and comparing his notes to mine. It should be fun for me and (I hope) entertaining and informative for my readers. The two wines reviewed below are the 2008 […]
Previously on this blog I’ve stated that I love the B2B/B2G focus on my agency. We don’t try to sway the masses, manipulate legislation or try to rehabilitate the reputations of foreign dictators. We help our clients achieve their business objectives — sell more of their stuff/services to be blunt — using social media channels. […]
I’m currently selling my 2001 530i private party, and I recently bought a 2002 M5 the same way. When it comes to cars, if convenience is paramount to you and you don’t mind spending more when purchasing or losing money on a trade-in, stop reading this post now. But if you can devote just a […]
Recently Gabriele and I celebrated our anniversary in Key West, Florida. The most enjoyable dinner we had was at a relatively new place recommended by a discerning client of mine, Blackfin Bistro. We dined there early in the week, and snagged a table right near the door. So the pageantry of Duval street filtered by […]
“Things published on the Internet live forever.” Most everyone has heard that maxim. In the earlier days of the Internet it meant be really careful about what you publish online, because it will never go away. That of course remains great advice. As the Internet has become more central to our lives the term has […]
This past weekend I swapped out the fog light bulbs in my new (to me) E39 M5. I had hoped my first post after purchase would be detailing how I adjusted the PSS9 suspension. But I don’t have all the answers I need, so that will have to wait. The stock fog light bulbs on […]
Last weekend Gabriele took me to Brabo’s Tasting Room in Old Town to celebrate my birthday. The Brabo restaurant next door didn’t have any tables available, and my friend and fellow wine lover Anglea told me she had a good time at the Tasting room. The room had a great vibe when we walked in […]
Late last week I attended a federal data security event sponsored by Neustar. What impressed me about this event was the frank admission that sensitive data will be lost – the only issue is how to minimize the vulnerabilities and mitigate the inevitable losses. It was an intimate event with just two speakers. William Crowell […]

Last week I bought an amazing car, a 2002 BMW M5. I had been thinking about picking one up for about six months, and keeping my eye on the used M5 market. But I was in no hurry — it had to be the right one and until I found it, my 2001 530 was […]
Happy Friday all. In the past I used to occasionally write a Tech Roundup post on Fridays. I’m resurrecting the same concept today, but rather than straight technology I’ll try to share “news you can use” with a focus on social media best practices. The first thing that got my attention was Facebook’s launch of […]
Last week I attended a useful discussion on the latest trends in Content Management Systems (CMS). It was organized by Hank Dearden’s Capital Cabal group, which is one of the better technology networking groups in the Washington, DC business community. Hank pulled together a good panel for this morning event at the City Club of […]
