  Fun in the sun

  09.26.08 | Permalink | Comment?

  If any of my readers were worried about all the rain on my vacation – they can breathe easy. After a massive thunderstorm Wednesday night it’s been beautiful. Only problem is that after all the rain, I was trying to make up for lost time and stayed the water for over two hours and got […]

  Tropical depression

  09.23.08 | Permalink | Comment?

  They say a tropical depression is causing the rain, but I won’t let that depress me. I’m here in the Dominican Republic on vacation for the week. It should clear up tomorrow so I can get back to enjoying this beautful island. That is the view from my room.

  After last week, I’m glad I have my money invested in something with tangible value: teak pepper mills. For me, the S&P 500 stands for “salt and pepper.”

  The Wisconsin Jewish Chronicle has published a nice profile article about me and the journey I took to arrive at my current position of Danish Pepper prominence.  My grandfather was the editor of the Chronicle back in the day, so it’s nice to see a photo of me in the paper he was so involved […]

The scenes at Don Draper’s office are peppered with moments of marketing genius – he’s the kind […]

  Impact of architecture

  07.30.08 | Permalink | Comment?

  Is it wrong to choose your child’s school based on architecture? Maybe, but the post and beam low slung Eichler-like lines of our girl’s Montessori school added to it’s appeal for me. It’s very cool even on a foggy day. It would not have done it alone, but it does reinforce the importance of style […]

  The Hammer Movie

  06.28.08 | Permalink | 1 Comment

  I’d like to take a break from writing about Danish Modern to recommend a movie. It’s call The Hammer and was created by radio host Adam Carolla. You probably know him from his recent appearance on Dancing with the Stars or from his work with Jimmy Kimmel on the Man Show. However, you should erase […]

  Happy Father’s Day

  Sacha opened her eyes this morning and said “Happy Father’s Day Daddy,” which she had obviously been practicing at day care. It’s a nice Sunday afternoon for creating a blog. Since I’ve written the book Danish Pepper, I’ve had more occasion for sharing my thoughts about the book, design, politics, and the internets. Stay tuned.
