Eyebee — Mon, 01 Dec 2008 18:52:53 +0000

Here in the lowcountry many residents and tourists alike enjoy oysters by the bucketful. Thing is, you can only eat them if there’s an ‘R’ in the month, right? Wrong! The US Bureau of Commercial Fisheries has been trying to kill off this myth for years, but it won’t lay down and die. Perhaps it derives from [...]

Paid To Talk At The Cafe

Eyebee — Sat, 29 Nov 2008 16:57:27 +0000

I was just reading Chris Brogan’s interesting and engaging article about Cafe-Shaped Conversations The major point he makes is this. Why should large corporations only want to talk to relatively small audiences via social media when they’ve already got their own networks in place to address millions? One issue concerns me here. What is to stop these [...]

Black Friday

According to Wikipedia the term was coined fairly recently, but refers to the day after Thanksgiving, and serves as the unofficial start to the Christmas shopping season. Myself, if I am working, which I often am, then that’s what I do! Otherwise, even if I have the day off, I avoid the stores if I can. [...]

How Do You Like To Get It?

Ok, you can take your mind out of the gutter. I’m talking information here. I really don’t know what you might have been thinking. You’ve probably heard the term information overload. It’s not new, it’s been bandied around for some time. I feel it’s a two-sided sword. Before the Internet (yes, I am old enough to remember [...]

Opposing Viewpoints

Eyebee — Wed, 26 Nov 2008 16:27:17 +0000

I hate to see partisan politics. I think it does a country no good at all. It all becomes about oneupmanship, and scoring points off the ‘other party’ instead of working together to repair the issues at hand. What seems to have sunk the GOP this time around, is the narrow-mindedness of many, the one-issue [...]

Round-the-clock drinking in England and Wales became a reality after new licensing laws came in force on this day three years ago, as part of the Licensing Act, 2003. More than 1,000 pubs, clubs and supermarkets were granted 24-hour licenses to sell alcohol, according to government figures. This is actually quite a small percentage, when you [...]
