Dreaming in Meta

A blog about food, wine, photography, travel, tech, pop culture, and social media...with a little geek thrown in for flavor.

I love to cook, collect and try new recipes. I'm always in search of the perfect meal, the perfect glass of wine, the perfect cup of coffee. Some people eat to live...but I live to eat.

gary:

I was pranked called at 5 am at SXSW
What I think is interesting here is that like I have said many times, we now live in a very transparent world and every interaction maybe recorded, The question is, if I handled this differently would it have impacted how some may look at me?
