Starbucks is my refuge; coffee is my respite. Product pick: Hard-boiled Egg Molds. Easy Recipe: Instant Healthy Ice Cream →. September 1, 2010. And 2) after eating 2 slices of cheese and a plateful of everything else, my son returned to the table, hungry again, 30 minutes later. I felt vindicated… then worried. Did the other parents realize the impact of these “empty” snacks? As an avid (compulsive? My philosophy employs two simple principles: avoid ingredients that are unnecessary or potentially harmful...

Why Amazon Is Amazing To Me
http://spicermatthews.com/blogs/business/why_amazon_is_amazing_to_me
Why Amazon Is Amazing To Me. I love Amazon.com. Amazon leverages their infrastructure and rents the use of this space to web sites all over the world. This is like Best Buy starting a construction company because they are building big box retail locations. Amazon turned what traditionally would be a fixed expense into a most likely very profitable business unit. Some people might say there is a lack of focus here. How can you have all these different business units and maintain focus? Amazon has a number...

My Top Technology List Of 2009
http://spicermatthews.com/blogs/geek/my_top_technology_list_of_2009
My Top Technology List Of 2009. Talking about Cloud Computing. Every geek blog I actively read posted a list of top technologies for 2009, so I thought I would be remissed if I did not do the same. These are technologies that really stepped it up or came to my attention in 2009 and became part of my everyday life both for work and personal used. Google Docs / Gmail ( www.gmail.com. Android ( www.android.com. Google Voice ( www.google.com/voice. Dropbox ( www.dropbox.com. I have been watching this product...

A Cash Cow Business
http://spicermatthews.com/blogs/business/a_cash_cow_business
A Cash Cow Business. Some businesses generate profits from day one - consulting business for example. Another example would be some sort of retail or service business. You mow someone’s lawn and they pay you. Profit on day one. Why not start one of these simple profit-at-day-one businesses to fund your dream business? I can illustrate this with two examples from my life. As many of you know Cloudmanic Labs. But it fits this concept like a glove. In a way Warren Buffet has stolen my model.

Content Management Systems
http://spicermatthews.com/blogs/geek/content_management_systems
Content management systems ( CMS. Content Management On The Brain. The reason I have been thinking about and playing around with different content management systems is I have had this good guy bad guy thing going on. As a programmer I have always just felt managing content is for non-programmers. If I need to create a new web page I will just open up a text editor and build that page with my programing skills. Who needs that extra layer of fluff? I spent a great deal of time with Wordpress. Where is the...

Love Of Evernote & The Art Of Reflection
http://spicermatthews.com/blogs/geek/love_of_evernote_the_art_of_reflection
Love Of Evernote and The Art Of Reflection. Talking about Cloud Computing. I have never really been a note taker. For the most part I always have a pen and paper nearby in case I want to jot something down, but often I do not use them. I do not know what constitutes a good memory, but given the fact I can often remember most everything (minus names, spellings, and phone numbers) I am going to say I have a good memory. This brings me to my new favorite product, Evernote. After any sort of meeting I will s...

AudioBox - Real Cloud Based Music
http://spicermatthews.com/blogs/geek/audiobox_real_cloud_based_music
AudioBox - Real Cloud Based Music. Talking about Cloud Computing. Has sort of done it but their way of doing things is a little odd and they use way to much flash. Below is a little PHP script I wrote to mass up load my music to AudioBox. I am using AudioBox 100% from now on! I am sick of plugging my phone into my computer. I am sick of writing sync scripts to keep my mp3's up-to-date on all my devices. Email = 'user@example.org';. Pass = '* * * * * ';. Dir = '/my/music/folder';. Filedata = array();.

Spicer 2.0 (my new website)
http://spicermatthews.com/blogs/personal/spicer_2.0_my_new_website
Spicer 2.0 (my new website). Overall I am pretty ok with myself, and I am embarrassed with very few things in life. However, one thing that has embarrassed me for years has been my personal website and how little time and effort I have put into it. This embarrasses me for two reasons. Reason two, I build websites for a living! Others see the Internet as one big art project. Why can’t the Internet be both? As of today I am happy to announce I am no longer embarrassed.
