Uber Stories: 10,000 rides: “Reality vs escape”
From driving through a postcard to living in a movie, you never know quite where you’ll end up ubering in Vermont.
Watch: Saving my house from evil trees!
Watch what happens when you hire the best tree crew in Rutland to take down 7 trees that are menacing your property! Relive all three days in just nine minutes.
Uber Stories: The Boondocks: 10,000 Rides
Staying positive can be a challenge in today’s crazy world. Add in the recent celestial events (a total solar eclipse) and the impending end of summer, and it truly feels like things are spinning out of control at a million mph. But when I pick up a new passenger, it doesn’t matter what sort of insanity is going on in my own head or the world at large, I am immediately distracted by whatever is going on in their life. I call it uber therapy.
Uber Stories: Intangible Assets: 10,000 Rides
Nick got me there. To Middlebury, that is. He’d requested a ride at 7:45 a.m. from Sheep Farm Road — every bit as quaint as it sounds — to the Rutland Airport on Saturday morning, Aug. 7. $46. Which even without tip mathed out to about $25 an hour — My minimum benchmark for accepting a ride. I figured I could give that one ride first thing, then head home. Then I could choose if I’d head south to the Ludlow skatepark contest or north to Warren for the annual jam. I was honestly torn. I knew both would be fun. I hadn’t been to Ludlow since they rebuilt it,…

Taso on Center braces for winter
Originally published Oct. 14, 2020 To-go meals all packed and ready. Area restaurants face uncertainty and challenges due to Covid restrictions and approaching cold weather By Brooke Geery Downtown Rutland restaurants, including Taso on Center (22 Center St.), took full advantage of the warm weather and additional outdoor seating possibilities this summer in order to stay afloat amid Covid restrictions. But now, as winter approaches, a new strategy is required. “We are not in normal times,” Taso owner Jay Sabataso said. “We are adapting and thinking outside the box. The seating downtown has been awesome outside, we’ve had good weather and the Downtown Partnership has been great, but the weather…

Last Weekend, Whenever: The Dirksen Derby 2017
Originally Published on Yobeat | December 23, 2017 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LcAwWRPHgF8 The 2017 Dirksen Derby is nothing but good vibes. Whether you spent December 15-17th complaining about back pain in the lodge, ripping around Mt. Bachelor, teaching your kids to stand on a snowboard, or actually trying to get a faster time than your friends, the 10th edition of the mostly-annual competition may just have been the best yet. Josh specifically designed the event to be fun for all. The course isn’t about survival, but rather pushing your own limits. If you make it down unscathed, you’re likely to think, “that was fun!” as opposed to other banked slaloms, where you’re just…

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xwVxwbZz8S8&feature=youtu.be If you know me, you know I love Tinder. It's more than a dating app, it's a hobby and a money maker (seriously!) My young protege Dickie Sweet put together this short epic with more.

Amateur Pet Photography
Since leaving the house is hard and rarely very rewarding, I've taken up the hobby of pet photography. It also helps that we have a pretty solid heard or creatures. So far the cats and the dog have their own instagrams, and it's only a matter of time before the chickens do as well (though I should leave that one up to Jared.) Anyway, if you love adorable things follow @willisandtyra and @thelemmygram for more photos like this, plus occasionally witty captions.

Because I really enjoy seeing if clueless PR people will come through on their promises, here's some completely irrelevant info for the people who came here 1) looking to get their Instagram unblocked or 2) that think I'm funny/interesting (there are way more of #1.) I believe this EXCITING info I received today was aimed at Yobeat, but whatever. I work for a company called The Collectionary.

MFNW Saves the Day!
While I'm admitting to being old and falling asleep at shows, I should also note I once feel asleep in the front row on an emo show. It was my friends' band, formerly Hijack the Disco, now known as HIJK, because Panic! at the Disco issued them a cease a desist. Anyway, I had gone to a wedding reception prior, been drinking all day, and as soon as I sat down (even in the FRONT ROW) I just nodded off. It was a small show, so obviously the band was aware of my absurd behavior, and proceeded to throw my name into songs to try and wake me up. It…

Area restaurants face uncertainty and challenges due to Covid restrictions and approaching cold weather By Brooke Geery Downtown Rutland restaurants, including Taso on Center (22 Center St.), took full advantage of the warm weather and additional outdoor seating possibilities this summer in order to stay afloat amid Covid restrictions. But now, as winter approaches, a new strategy is required. “We are not in normal times,” Taso owner Jay Sabataso said. “We are adapting and thinking outside the box. The seating downtown has been awesome outside, we’ve had good weather and the Downtown Partnership has been great, but the weather…

Last Weekend, Whenever: The Dirksen Derby 2017
Originally Published on Yobeat | December 23, 2017 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LcAwWRPHgF8 The 2017 Dirksen Derby is nothing but good vibes. Whether you spent December 15-17th complaining about back pain in the lodge, ripping around Mt. Bachelor, teaching your kids to stand on a snowboard, or actually trying to get a faster time than your friends, the 10th edition of the mostly-annual competition may just have been the best yet. Josh specifically designed the event to be fun for all. The course isn’t about survival, but rather pushing your own limits. If you make it down unscathed, you’re likely to think, “that was fun!” as opposed to other banked slaloms, where you’re just…

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xwVxwbZz8S8&feature=youtu.be If you know me, you know I love Tinder. It's more than a dating app, it's a hobby and a money maker (seriously!) My young protege Dickie Sweet put together this short epic with more.

Amateur Pet Photography
Since leaving the house is hard and rarely very rewarding, I've taken up the hobby of pet photography. It also helps that we have a pretty solid heard or creatures. So far the cats and the dog have their own instagrams, and it's only a matter of time before the chickens do as well (though I should leave that one up to Jared.) Anyway, if you love adorable things follow @willisandtyra and @thelemmygram for more photos like this, plus occasionally witty captions.

Because I really enjoy seeing if clueless PR people will come through on their promises, here's some completely irrelevant info for the people who came here 1) looking to get their Instagram unblocked or 2) that think I'm funny/interesting (there are way more of #1.) I believe this EXCITING info I received today was aimed at Yobeat, but whatever. I work for a company called The Collectionary. We are building the best place to go on the internet to find and buy items for avid collectors.

MFNW Saves the Day!
While I'm admitting to being old and falling asleep at shows, I should also note I once feel asleep in the front row on an emo show. It was my friends' band, formerly Hijack the Disco, now known as HIJK, because Panic! at the Disco issued them a cease a desist. Anyway, I had gone to a wedding reception prior, been drinking all day, and as soon as I sat down (even in the FRONT ROW) I just nodded off. It was a small show, so obviously the band was aware of my absurd behavior, and proceeded to throw my name into songs to try and wake me up. It…

Uber Stories: 10,000 rides: “Reality vs escape”
From driving through a postcard to living in a movie, you never know quite where you’ll end up ubering in Vermont.
Watch: Saving my house from evil trees!
Watch what happens when you hire the best tree crew in Rutland to take down 7 trees that are menacing your property! Relive all three days in just nine minutes.
Uber Stories: The Boondocks: 10,000 Rides
Staying positive can be a challenge in today’s crazy world. Add in the recent celestial events (a total solar eclipse) and the impending end of summer, and it truly feels like things are spinning out of control at a million mph. But when I pick up a new passenger, it doesn’t matter what sort of insanity is going on in my own head or the world at large, I am immediately distracted by whatever is going on in their life. I call it uber therapy.
Uber Stories: Intangible Assets: 10,000 Rides
Nick got me there. To Middlebury, that is. He’d requested a ride at 7:45 a.m. from Sheep Farm Road — every bit as quaint as it sounds — to the Rutland Airport on Saturday morning, Aug. 7. $46. Which even without tip mathed out to about $25 an hour — My minimum benchmark for accepting a ride. I figured I could give that one ride first thing, then head home. Then I could choose if I’d head south to the Ludlow skatepark contest or north to Warren for the annual jam. I was honestly torn. I knew both would be fun. I hadn’t been to Ludlow since they rebuilt it,…
