Here and there, random thoughts on food, photos, marketing, & customer service

I recently was a guest on Mario Armstrong’s Digital Cafe segment that airs on WYPR 88.1 FM in Baltimore. Mario was nice enough to interview me about my quest for a new kidney and my use of social media to aid in my search. This is a deeply personal topic, and I thank Mario for inviting me on his show to talk about my story. You can visit Mario’s Blog to hear the full show via a MP3 you can download here.

To read more about my story please see my kidney webpage at http://www.akidneyfordana.org.

I heard that a list of Vegan-Owned businesses in Baltimore, Maryland is coming via Twitter friend @BmoreVegan.

To help get the ball rolling until that happens, I’ve started a small list based on a recent Twitter “tweet” from @BmoreVegan on the topic.

Of course there’s MacMedics.
