While some restaurants embrace the iPad, others are not so welcoming . Nick Bilton over on the Bits blog is told to put away his Kindle or iPad at two different New York cafes that have “no computer” policies: “He then told me that the ‘device’ in my hand had a screen and required batteries, so it was obviously ‘some variation of a computer.’” Wonder if they allow iPhones

Had the pleasure of meeting Tony recently for lunch. Really enjoyed this post he put up: http://www.tonywright.com/2010/rethinking-f-you-money/ Totally agree that the mythical 6-10% return is not being achieved by many these days, and that the real pay off of selling a business can come from the credibility – not the money.

GreenSmart has a new line of backpacks and messenger bags that I love! A year ago, I bought one of their neogreene laptop sleeves for my Macbook. It doesn’t smell at all, it’s made from toxic-free ingredients and it uses 25% less energy to manufacture and 25% less petroleum to produce than neoprene. Plus, it’s lightweight, durable, and waterproof. So, I am already in love with their products, but now that I’ve heard about their new line of recycled bags, I love this company even more! The Bottles 2 Bags line is made from 100% post consumer recycled PET plastic bottles. Every year in the US, 230 bottles per person go to a landfill, which is enough to fill the Rose Bowl stadium every 2 weeks! So when you purchase one of these products, you’re helping to create sustainability on our planet and keep these bottles out of landfills (because they never decompose). Curious as to how this transition from plastic bottle to trendy messenger bag happens? Me, too! According to GreenSmart’s website, here’s the process: 1
