For 4 years I’ve been getting these stupid advertisements from PennySaver and ShopWise every week. I’ve never looked at them. They simply create work for me, fishing them out of the mail, sorting through them, and finally recycling them. Today I finally decided to get rid of them. To kill PennySaver: call 1 (800) 422-4116 …
Most cameras sold today have some sort of movie mode. They take decent movies with sound, but what about if you had the camera turned on its side while you took the movie? None of the programs I’ve see that handle photos will rotate movies like they rotate photos. I was trying to show my …
Last weekend we were lazy, settling back in after vacation. Our goal was to do something more active this weekend. After getting up a little late, we looked for a place to hike that we haven’t been to before. Our answer: Mt. Diablo. When you drive around the Bay Area on a clear day you …
Last week I was on vacation this week at my parents’ lake house in New Hampshire. Since I was a kid, a favorite evening pastime has been to catch turtles. Around dinner time, scores of cute little painted turtles (about 6″ long) would pass by, poking their heads up out of the water ever so …

At 2 pm today I sat down to watch two sporting events – The final match of the World Cup on TV and the Boston Red Sox vs. the Chicago White Sox on MLB.TV. My baseball game is tied and they just keep on playing. Six hours later we’re in the 19th inning and still …
This is the Yahoo! t-shirt I wore today: Another LAUNCH shirt Remember the shirt from June 6? Well this one is the inverse. It’s a bit tattered and somehow I got an XL, so I’m floating in it, but hey, it was free. Rating: 3/5 Acquired: 2000? So that’s it for my Yahoo! t-shirts. I …
This is the Yahoo! t-shirt I wore today: Yahoo! Shopping 5.0 Last week, realizing I was running out of shirts, I began trolling the office for more. I found this one leftover from the Yahoo!
