New York Eyeglasses Trends

In the past, the official eyeglasses of indie rock have been square frames - they make you look intelligent, but in a cool way. Since moving to New York City a few months ago, however, I've noticed that trends have moved on. Whenever I go to concerts or walk around trendy areas, I notice that thick circular frames are really in. One really prominent example of this is Matthew Schnipper, a staff writer at Fader magazine. Every week, he appears in a photo with a record in his hands while sporting very trendy ovular frames.

Looking through the archives at eyeglasses.com, I can see that there are a lot of possibilities for circular frames as well. As soon as spring rolls around, I'm definitely investing in a pair of circular sunglasses!

I Fixed Up My Basement with K-Designers

I had a very pleasant surprise today when I saw my electric bill for this month - it had gone down by about 50 dollars! Although I have been making sure to follow obvious electricity saving measures such as doing laundry during off-peak hours, watching less TV and turning off lights when leaving the house, I think the main step that made the difference was hiring K-Designers to remodel my basement.

I initially hired K-Designers to add a countertop so that I can have a bar area in my den, but when K-Designers visited, they told me that I could save a lot of money by better insulating my home. They did some work around the edges of my basement with caulk and insulation and insulated my hot water pipes and I've found that it was worth it. At first I was worried that hiring a home remodeling company would be needlessly expensive, but I'm very happy to see that it's actually saving me money!

Deven Parekh and the Many Uses Of Business Degrees

It's incredible how many different ventures people can go into with business related degrees. Deven Parekh is one personality I recently learned about. After majoring in economics at University of Pennsylvania. Currently, Deven Parekh became a managing director at Insight Ventures Partners, a venture capital firm that focuses on software and internet-enabled businesses.

Like many prominent businessmen, Deven Parekh also has done important humane work. He is a Henry Crown fellow at the Aspen Institute. The Aspen Institute does work to encourage business leaders to maintain ethics and fair behavior. Thanks to his work, business leaders he influences are helping to build a better society. I'm amazed that one man can do so much work in so many different fields.

Did you know that SEO is a major growth industry in internet communications? Do you even know what SEO means? Search Engine Optimization, or SEO, is a new field in which web programmers find ways to give websites a favorable place in search engines such as Google.
