Do you have no shame?
July 27th, 2007 · No Comments
I present the word of the day: “Swag” (I always hear it pronounced sh-wag, and not s-wag.)
Swag is the cool stuff that companies send you when they desperately want your business.
I got a polo in the mail today (a really nice golf one too) from a company that we recently did […]

Where are all the commuter vehicles?
July 26th, 2007 · No Comments
In the push for reducing the need for foreign oil, you would think that we would be seeing a boom in small commuter vehicles on the market. And I am not talking a Mini Cooper or a VW Rabbit… I am talking full-on small scale small engine vehicles. Like the Commuter Car’s Tango, […]

Harry Potter addicts beware
July 25th, 2007 · No Comments
Now that the widespread distribution of the crack fix known as Harry Potter has occurred, we can all start to make observations about the material, the experience, and the ultimate sadness as we know no more fixes will be coming in the future.
Which kind of sucks and it kind of doesn’t.
It sucks because […]

Or the lengths we go to for email. Ha.
From here (thanks Lifehacker):
Designer Mike Davidson says many email messages he receives take more time for him to answer than they did for the sender to write. So he’s instituted a new email policy: no message he sends out will be more than 5 sentences.

With a corporation, you should only tell your boss about […]

Harry Potter Stuff

The 7th book is pretty much what everyone is expecting. Many of the speculative rumors are true.
To be honest, I thought all the loose threads were tied up, and it gave a satisfactory conclusion. Good follow through and ending by JK Rowling. But the epilogue was a bit rushed/weird/unbalanced/afterthought.
We are expecting the hardcover […]

Harry Potter 7 Leaked
July 17th, 2007 · No Comments
I was expecting it to happen last week.
But some fool took pictures, yes pictures, of every page.
Not scans, mind you, but pictures. With his hand holding the pages open and everything.

Talk about tedious. Got admire a guy for snapping pics of 750 some odd pages, right?

July 13th, 2007 · No Comments
I give you Concourse A for my flight to Omaha this week.
The entire concourse was full. Full and very loud.
I was almost glad to get on the airplane.
I hate crowds of people.
Dante: You hate people!
Randal: But I love gatherings. Isn’t it ironic?
