Kinkead’s has long been one of DC’s best restaurants for seafood, and the Washingtonian restaurant was ranked #9 in last month’s Washingtonian magazine. I hadn’t been there in years, so Gabriele and I decided to to see for ourselves last night. We had a terrific dining experience. The atmosphere, service and food were all first rate. […]
Brian Dolan over at FierceWireless wrote a very interesting editorial today. Now I can get as tired as the next guy with the media’s preoccupation with the big G. But I think Brian is on to something. He posits that rather than actually wanting to win any of the spectrum in the FCC auction, Google is […]
On a regular basis we bring members of the media in to speak with staff at Strategic Communications Group. Even in an increasingly technical world, there is great value in meeting personally with the people you’ll be pitching on behalf of clients. And helping to foster these relationships is part of the professional development process […]
Stephen Barr of the Washington Post has a very interesting Federal Diary story today. The Office of Management and Budget (OMB) has embraced the Wikipedia model and used their own Wiki to quickly catalogue 13,496 budgetary earmarks.

In September of last year I bought a 2001 530, in good shape but in need of some TLC. The previous owner was a nice guy but not a car guy, so little upkeep and no preventative work had been done. I had a pre-purchase inspection done that found nothing major, the car only had 48K miles and […]
The founder of my firm Marc Hausman has a post over on Blogpost, The Strategic Guy. Last Tuesday we had dinner with Scott Burns, the CEO of GovDelivery — www.govdelivery.com — a provider of outsourced email and constituent communication services to the U.S. government. Scott has a very interesting take on the difference between Software as […]
Hello and thank you for visiting! Let’s get right to it with the first post. Last night my wife Gabriele and I had a very nice dinner at Bonefish, in the Kingstowne area of Alexandria. We went a little on the late side to avoid a wait — no dice, packed and they estimated 60 minute wait. Luckily there was […]
