We’ve commented that we’d like to go back for an overnight and stay at one of the numerous inns – so for [...]

Leah and I cashed in some travel points and took a trip down to Boston this weekend. On our first night in Boston we checked out the Matt Nathanson concert at the Berklee Performance Center. We scored front row center seats in the balcony, giving us an incredible view of the stage, and spectacular sound. [...]
In honor of their 10th birthday, they’ve brought back their oldest available index. Take a look back at Google in January 2001. Items that we now take for granted like the iPod didn’t even exist!
