			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>After reading about the Midtown Toasty on <a href="http://midtownlunch.com/2011/03/21/tri-tip-grill-adds-toasty-to-the-permanent-menu/">MidtownLunch</a>, I decided I had to finally stop by <a href="http://tritipgrill.com/">Tri-Tip Grill</a> to give it a try.</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-large wp-image-467" title="midtown-toasty1" src="http://www.mattsilverman.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/04/midtown-toasty1-500x373.jpg" alt="" width="500" height="373" /></p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-large wp-image-468" title="midtown-toasty2" src="http://www.mattsilverman.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/04/midtown-toasty2-500x373.jpg" alt="" width="500" height="373" /></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>I asked if they had any hot sauce, and they said they did have a chipotle sauce, so I had them throw it on the side.  The sauce, which was more like a chipotle relish, was a delicious add on to the sandwich.  Will definitely ask for it again.</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-large wp-image-469" title="midtown-toasty3-chipotle" src="http://www.mattsilverman.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/04/midtown-toasty3-chipotle-500x373.jpg" alt="" width="500" height="373" /></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>The positives:</p>
<ul>
<li>$3.99 is a decent price for a gourmet breakfast sandwich</li>
<li>Ingredients are good quality, much better than your average deli</li>
<li>Chipotle spread took it to the next level</li>
</ul>
<p>Negatives:</p>
<ul>
<li>Sandwich came in a container that was not breathable, bottom slice of bread got very soggy as a result.</li>
</ul>
<p>Overall: Definitely worth it if you find yourself near the concourse of 30rock at breakfast time.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Google recently changed the layout of the Google Docs interface, and made it a little difficult to figure out how to export and backup your documents.  It is always recommended to have a backup of anything you store in the cloud, so here is a quick tutorial on how to download and backup your Google docs.</p>
<div id="attachment_440" class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 510px"><img class="size-large wp-image-440" title="doc1" src="http://www.mattsilverman.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/03/doc1-500x352.png" alt="" width="500" height="352" /><p class="wp-caption-text">Step 1 - Right click on any file in your Google Docs list, and select &quot;Download&quot;</p></div>
<div id="attachment_443" class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 500px"><img class="size-full wp-image-443" title="doc2" src="http://www.mattsilverman.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/03/doc2.png" alt="" width="490" height="459" /><p class="wp-caption-text">Step 2 - Click on the &quot;All Items&quot; tab, and press the &quot;Download&quot; button</p></div>
<p style="text-align: center;">&nbsp;</p>
<div id="attachment_444" class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 499px"><img class="size-full wp-image-444" title="doc3" src="http://www.mattsilverman.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/03/doc3.png" alt="" width="489" height="362" /><p class="wp-caption-text">Step 3 - Select &quot;Email when ready&quot;</p></div>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<div id="attachment_445" class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 436px"><img class="size-full wp-image-445 " title="doc4" src="http://www.mattsilverman.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/03/doc4.png" alt="" width="426" height="341" /><p class="wp-caption-text">Step 4 - Wait until you receive the e-mail, then click download link.</p></div>
<p style="text-align: left;">After the file is downloaded, you are still not done.  It is necessary to extract the zip file, and open a few of the documents to make sure they are readable.  In my experience, the export has always worked very well, but it is imperative to check for yourself each time you save the backup.</p>

<p>Gmail inbox getting full?  Mine was too.  For some inexplicable reason, Google does not allow you to run a simple search of your inbox where you can sort by attachment size.  There are some options to get your Gmail account under control, most useful of which is searching for particular file types.   Run a search for the most commonly large file types, and optionally add a date modifier so you only look at mail older than a certain date.</p>
<p>Enter this into the search box:<br />
<strong>filename:(mpg OR mpeg OR avi OR wmv OR zip OR bmp OR mp3 OR wma OR mov) before:2007/12/31</strong></p>
<p>I did not exclude JPG or JPEG because pictures are often a useful thing to save.  I still recommend going through each e-mail before doing a mass-delete with the above search query, but this will at least give you a useful workaround while Google works on a sortable attachment filter.</p>
<p>Google is well aware of the need for this feature, but feel free to <a href="http://mail.google.com/support/bin/static.py?page=suggestions.cs">cast your vote</a> on their suggestion page, like I did.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I have to admit, I am a little disheartened.  I was convinced that building a large Twitter following would at least give a great platform for promoting things.  I was always curious about numbers though.  If I posted a link, what % of my followers would actually click it?</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter" title="Tweet I Made" src="http://www.mattsilverman.com/uploaded_images/twitter1.png" alt="" /></p>
<p><a href="http://twitpic.com/jlu6g">http://twitpic.com/jlu6g</a> &#8211; 62 views as of writing.  While I have a paltry <a href="http://twitter.com/mattsilv">135 Followers</a>, it seems that roughly <strong>46%</strong> of them clicked on the link I posted.  Keep in mind, this view count is based off of pageviews to that page, so if one person viewed it multiple times it would count towards the same total.  So let&#8217;s make a more conservative estimate of <strong>35%</strong> of my followers actually clicked the link.  Not too bad.</p>
<p>I still had envy for someone like Ashton Kutcher though.  Well, maybe not.  But I did have a little intrigue about his <a href="http://twitter.com/aplusk">almost 4,000,000 followers</a> on Twitter.</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter" title="Ashton Kutcher Followers On Twitter" src="http://www.mattsilverman.com/uploaded_images/twitter2.png" alt="" /></p>
<p>When he posts a link, if using my conservative estimate of <strong>35% conversion ratio</strong> in clicks, that would mean he would get a whopping <strong>1,400,000</strong> clicks on every link he tweets.  Then again, 35% is a rather generous conversion ratio, what with all the spam accounts and all.  So let&#8217;s be VERY conservative.  <strong>10% conversion ratio</strong>.  Surely, at least 10% of the people &#8220;following&#8221; Ashton Kutcher are at least visiting the links he posts.  10% conversion ratio would be roughly <strong>400,000 clicks</strong>.  That is still spectacular.  He is a marketing machine, right?  If only there was some way to actually see how many clicks his links get.</p>
<p>Oh, yeah, <a href="http://www.bit.ly">bit.ly</a>.  That&#8217;s right, they offer pretty neat <a href="http://bit.ly/info/2BnASZ">stats</a> on every link shortened by them.  So I decided to look at some recent <a href="http://twitter.com/aplusk">@aplusk</a> data.</p>

<p>I made a typo right?  I wish I had.  It turns out that the links Ashton tweeted averaged 7,500 clicks per link.  This amounts to a shocking <strong>0.19% percent conversion ratio</strong>.</p>
<p>The lesson?  Quality over quantity when it comes to a Twitter following.  If only .19% Ashton&#8217;s followers are clicking his links, at BEST 0.4% of his followers actually even read a word he says.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>With a fresh Ubuntu install, I realized that to play any video file including saved DVDs, .WMV, .AVI, DIVX, etc.,  it is necessary to get what is called a &#8220;restricted&#8221; extras pack for Ubuntu.  My understanding is that this does not come with it by default, because they want to keep Ubuntu completely legitimate in terms of licensing, etc.</p>
<p><a href="apt:ubuntu-restricted-extras?section=universe?section=multiverse">Download the Ubuntu Restricted Extras Pack by clicking here</a>.</p>
<p>After installing this, everything magically worked!</p>
