Ummm….no Staples. No it’s not.
I’m signed up to get the Staples flyer in my email every week. It’s nice because I get a sneak peek at the coming week’s specials on the off chance I actually need something. This week, though, I saw something … Continue reading
I’m almost looking forward to flying somewhere
No, I don’t have a trip planned, but I almost *want* to go through a screening area at the airport. See, these days there are super duper ultra top tippy toe secret TSA directives that you’re subject to. These directives … Continue reading

T-Mobile, idiots, and Mary Kay
Maybe it’s my thrown out back making me extra cranky, but somehow I don’t think so. Here’s what’s going on. A year or so ago I re-upped my contract with t-mobile when my old phone broke. I like the Windows … Continue reading

Why I’m annoyed with public television
The kids woke up earlier than I might otherwise have liked this morning, so I was nice, let my wife sleep and got the kids around to go downstairs to watch cartoons. We’re not a Thundercats, GI Joe, or Spiderman … Continue reading
The experiment and crabs
Last weekend I tried a little experiment. Sales have been horrid this season despite plenty of “very pretty”, “how creative”, “wow, what an art” type comments and plenty of people looking. But I’ve seen people debate a fairly … Continue reading
