After much Talk, I finally decided to deep fry a turkey the Day after Christmas this year. It actually came out very well as the images below show.

During my time of unemployment, one of the things I tried to do is to catch up with friends around this city/suburbs.  One such friend is Josh Silvertsone.  Josh had been ranting and raving about a restaurant where he had become a regular located in downtown Bethesda. The place’s name is Visions (blog). I met him there for lunch on a Friday and little did I  know Josh and Tony (twitter), the chef , had been working on introducing a new menu item name after him.  Well it’s official, the Josh Burrito is now available to all (see the announcement below).  You should go try it.   Have had one one I can confirm that that it is delicious. 

p.s.  If you’re foodie and want to chat with a chef on a regular basis, make sure to connect with Chef Tony, he is all about social media.

The past week was a crazy one; the end of another semester and the start of a new gig.  Now that life has calmed down a bit, I wanted to take a second to say a big thank you to everyone that helped me during my job search. My job search ended late last month when I accepted an offer for the position of Web Strategist at DCI Group, where I will be helping our clients navigate through the social media interweb.   In these tough economic times, I was lucky enough to received multiple offers.  However, I would be lying if I said I did all the work that got me these offers. In fact it was quite the opposite. During my search, a number of people graciously volunteer their time to proofread my resume and cover letters, help make video resumes, offer career advice, make introductions on my behalf,be a reference, and pass my resume along. Between writing cover letters and submitting my resume for various position, I attended a number of social media/technology events around town where I met an incredible number of nice and smart folks using the web to bring attention to some great causes.  I will work to keep in touch with as many of them as possible.  But more importantly, I hope to work with some of them (in pro-bono capacity, of course) on some of the projects that they are currently undertaking.

The entire job search experience was very humbling and I’m very grateful for all the help I received.  Again Thank you.
