is a time to give thanks.  Don’t worry…I realize it’s not Thanksgiving.  I think it’s a different kind of thanks.  I love sitting around the Thanksgiving table in November and being able to tell family and friends about all of the things I’m thankful for just as much as you do.  Most of what I say and hear seems to relate to one’s personal life. Supportive family, good friends, healthy lives…  

The Fourth of July allows us to be thankful from an entirely different perspective.  Being a citizen of the United States allows us to do things in our professional lives that wouldn’t be possible in most other places.  For me, it allows me to spend every day working on the dream that is Dormbuys.  

The dream that is Dormbuys allows me to spend tons of time doing that which I am insanely passionate about…impacting people.  As the company has grown, I’ve had the awesome opportunity to impact the incredible people I work with every day.  As we, the Dormbuys team, commit ourselves to our customers, we get to impact them with our care and service.  Working with so many great vendor and service partners gives us the ability to impact employees in hundreds of different companies all over the world.  And maybe, just maybe, more importantly than all of this is the fact that I am lucky enough to be impacted by all of these people as well.

So make sure you take a moment and give thanks.  Show your love for our incredible country and the opportunities she provides for us day in and day out.

We all love the iPhone…well, at least I love the iPhone.  Not only are the basic features great, but the ability to add apps make my phone a true extension of my life.  I’ve got some apps on there for business.  I’ve got a couple that help me track and log my morning workouts.  I’ve [...]

Jeff Stahler does a great job of summing up what many college graduates are spending forty hours per week doing this summer…

It is important to early on determine what kind of food you will be able to make in your dorm room.  Many dorms do not allow common appliances like toasters and blenders because of electrical concerns, although most do allow microwaves and even keep a public one open for those who don’t have microwaves in [...]

Oh Snap! This dish was amazing, easily the best thing I’ve made so far. I went grocery shopping with my mom and sister this past weekend and I was thinking of things to cook during the week. At the time I pictured myself cooking onions and bell peppers with a nice chicken breast in the [...]

Maybe some of you have seen it, but perhaps not, as we at Dormbuys haven’t formally promoted it. What I’m talking about is our new Gift Registry feature.  You’ve been asking for it since we launched in 2006 and it took us a while to listen, but better late than never, right?
From the beginning we [...]

I’ll admit, this was an adventure for me because I had not tried this recipe until today, so I really had no idea how it was going to turn out in the end. Taste and quality wise, I was aiming for somewhere between the boxed jambalaya meals and the home cooked dutch oven variety. I [...]
