Where Not to Geocache

Posted by Jeff Boulter on 30 November 2003, 6:05 pm

‘Homeless Island’ is kind of like Survivor, but instead of food rewards, the reward is heroin. The San Francisco Chronicle is doing a very revealing 5-part series on the homeless problem in SF.

Question of the Day

Posted by Jeff Boulter on 24 November 2003, 1:13 pm

Where does mouse gunk come from? You know, that crusty stuff that accumlates on the contacts underneath the ball. Is it dust, skin, or something even more sinister? I’m not sure I really want to know the answer to this question.

On the move

Posted by Jeff Boulter on 24 November 2003, 11:02 am

Today is our first day at the new Yahoo building. There was much controversy about who was going to move across the street. Personally, I don’t care. The buildings look nearly identical inside. Some first impressions: – Something’s weird with the floor. My monitor is constantly bouncing. – I have a window cube now, which …

I’m a world record holder

Posted by Jeff Boulter on 20 November 2003, 4:03 pm

Well, not by name, but yesterday I participated in the world’s largest group yodel. Not that I can yodel really, but I can move my mouth and pretend to, just like in church. The event was sponsored by Yahoo as some promotional thing. It was actually quite a bit of fun. They lured employees, family …

Thank you for choosing Sprint

Posted by Jeff Boulter on 20 November 2003, 3:34 pm

I got this email from Sprint (my cell phone carrier), suddenly thanking me for being a customer and explaining how much better they’ll be in the future. Methinks they’re a bit worried about number portability kicking in next week. — Dear Jeff, I want to thank you for choosing Sprint. It is our commitment to …

Please help me kill my answering machine

Posted by Jeff Boulter on 17 November 2003, 2:52 pm

I really hate my answering machine. It’s the type of device you can’t really try out in the store and you have no idea how well it will work until you get it home. Ours has a particularly bad interface for indicating when it has messages – it flashes a light. The light flashes faster …

It’s a braaand new car!

Posted by Jeff Boulter on 13 November 2003, 10:30 pm

Anne is tired of taking the train to the city and I’m tired of walking to to work in the rain, so we’ve been talking about getting another car. We’ve been a one-car household for 4 1/2 years now. We really like our CR-V, but it’s sometimes inconvenient to rely on only one car, especially …

One Night with a Roomba

Posted by Jeff Boulter on 12 November 2003, 7:48 pm

With friends coming to town this weekend, I desperately needed to vacuum, but I didn’t really want to do it. Being the nerd I am, this seemed like the perfect time to borrow my coworker’s new robotic vacuum cleaner, the Roomba and try to convince my wife that this was the next life-changing gadget after …

What does this dream mean?

Posted by Jeff Boulter on 10 November 2003, 8:05 pm

I had a dream the other night that my cat opened a lunch stand in our backyard. He had people lined up behind a picnic table and was taking orders for sandwiches. We had to help him a bit because he was having trouble understanding the orders in english, keeping people in line and making …
