Coupage Restaurant - Worst customer service experience everI alluded to it previously blogging about my 30th birthday, but recent events brought this to the forefront of my mind again. I was so upset about the events that transpired on my birthday that I decided to write a review on Yelp:
Trevin turns 30!My 30th birthday weekend was kicked off formally with tandem sky dive in Snohomish, WA with Chaitanya and Todd. It’s the 3rd consecutive year that I’ve done this for my birthday and, as always, it was an unforgettable experience. Chaitanya had been before near Mt. Ranier, but this was Todd’s first time. So not only did I get to do my annual “scare the crap out of myself by jumping out of a plane”, but I got to help Todd lose his sky diving virginity.   Wordle6 or 7 people have sent me a link to Wordle in the last couple of days, so I finally decided to check it out. The site is simple, and pretty cool in how is visualizes text. Basically you submit it a bunch of text and it creates a visual representation of it, using the words itself with the size of each word being proportional to its occurrence.

What to do if your mail is stolenOver the last two days I’ve been dealing with the issue and consequences of having my mail stolen.

It was impossible to know everything that was possibly in my mailbox, but I do know for certain that it contained at least one credit card statement, a bank statement and a credit cart statement. I was fearful of having fraud or identity theft committed against me, so I did some quick research to find out what exactly I should do in this situation. Here’s the info I have gathered and figured it was useful to share it with others:
Cool Zune scenarioGoing all digital with the Fujitsu ScanSnap S300I’ve been on a quest the last 6-8 months of trying to get rid of all my hard copy paperwork that I keep at home. I had a massive filing cabinet with paperwork that included:
The list just goes on and on. It was so easy to have a filing cabinet and just throw things in there and, the next thing I knew it, I had years worth of paperwork accumulated. Some of it was important to have the originals, some not, and most of it useless. So I decided I wanted to go all digital with my paperwork, to not only reduce physical clutter, but also make it easier to find specific documents. I had visions of all my paperwork scanned, OCR’d and tagged so I could do a search in Vista for a particular and all the pertinent documents would be shown. So I decided that I would go through nearly 10 years of paperwork, throw away what was irrelevant, and sort the remaining into 2 buckets: what needed to be kept in original hardcopy and what could be scanned. I did this sorting process over a 4 day period and the net result was 3 full garbage bags of papers that I brought for professional shredding and disposal. The rest of the documents for keep and scan was very, very small which wasn’t surprising. Now I had to move onto the task of going digital with my paperwork life. In order to achieve this, I needed the following things:
