PLEASE stop converting your gigantic, over-designed, in-accessible menus into gigantic, over designed, in-accessible PDFs. Who wants to download all of that when you’re hungry and on the run? It really isn’t cheaper to link to a PDF, when you consider bandwidth. A simple Term Definition list would save tons of bandwidth AND its much more accessible with mobile devices(er, most non iPhone people).
B) Food > Flash
PLEASE fire your Flash guy. He sucks. I have nothing against Flash but a restaurant is just a restaurant.
Nix your site intros. Hunger doesn’t care about faux-3D animations, and background music. We want to know whats on the menu and in some cases what it looks like as quickly as possible.
Mobile Phones hate Flash. If we can’t see your site on our phones, you’re probably losing out on some new business.
My homie Kiri just published her first book! Go Cop!
Foreword:
This book is a direct result of the recession. I could feel the walls closing in I could feel the walls closing in on my family and I knew I had to do something so we wouldn’t be casualties. I work a 9-5 like many of you but I know that in this economy, money isn’t enough. I thank God for my job but I know so many who have been laid off or have lost their jobs I know people who have lost their home or are on the verge of losing everything because of this recession.
Some Feel the recession is a curse but it is my blessing. The recession had me cornered so I decided to take a chance and pursue my dream. Originally, I planned on producing a cooking show, but my best friend (who I owe my life, I love you JR) insisted that I write a book. I came up with the idea for my novel and started writing in February, finishing in July of 2009. If you have a dream, pursue it because now is the time. So many people have offered their support and the same can happen for you. This is not a selfish project at all. I have included local entrepreneurs and artists in my story so they can gain exposure as well (please support them). This recession is not going to beat me and I claim that it won’t beat you. Peace and blessing to you all. Enjoy!
The Senate is closing in on a health care bill with a public health insurance option, a key ingredient of meaningful health care reform.
But conservatives and insurance companies are fighting hard against the public option, so Senate leadership has compromised by including an “opt-out” clause, which would allow individual states to choose not to participate in the program.[1]
There’s a real danger here. In the stimulus fight, we saw Republican governors and legislators refuse federal dollars for political gain. The same thing could happen with health care reform, with everday people in states like Lousiana, Alabama, and South Carolina — states with large Black, poor, and working-class populations — left out.[2]
That’s why I’ve joined ColorOfChange.org’s campaign calling on Congress and the White House to make the public option available everywhere. Please join me:
After months and months had gone by, I finally had the chance to catch this dude Blitz’ live show. IMPRESSIVE. Slapped myself in the face for not being able to catch one of the shows earlier. Everything from stage presence to the live band was on point man. Dude has a few more shows in NYC before he starts jet setting all over the world doing shows. If you’re too lame(or busy) to come out to a show, then you’ll need to get a copy of the album which is the digital translation of the live sound(most artists do this the other way around). It also has some dope album artwork (which I had a small hand in creating btw). Actually, you know what? Even if you can make it to a show you need to cop the album. It drops TODAY, so please show some support. You can buy it digitally on iTunes or order a real tangible copy directly from The Embassy.
I know everyone hates that awkward moment when you know you can’t carry a note but still gotta sing the birthday song to make somebody’s day. It sucks but you know you gotta do it. Anyways, after you sing the original version, and then after somebody who can actually carry a note starts going into the Stevie version with the soul clap, we should just go ahead and add the Michael Jackson version from the Simpsons to the mix (Reserve the 50 Cent version for the club later that night). Just replace “Lisa” with the Birthday Boy/Girl’s name, and repeat the hook until it gets tired (Approx. 4x). I think it’s pretty simple. Maybe i’m asking for too much? Mmmm…probably.
Here’s the recorded version that Michael Sang and here’s the show’s version that they aired on The Simpsons with an MJ replacement singer. Mike’s label wouldn’t let them use his recorded singing voice for the show although he did do all the speaking parts. Must have been a really weird contract. I personally like the beat from the Simpsons version better. Bart was killing it on the trash can conga!
