Officially over
I know summer is officially unofficially over because the college kids have returned. Yep. That’s a sure sign the summer is coming to an abrupt end. It’s always interesting to watch them unpack. Some bring U-Hauls, some bring trucks, and some just bring their cars. Whatever they bring, they are usually stuffed to the brim [...]
Thompson run in the not-too-distant future
With each passing day, my favorite Presidential candidate, though not yet a candidate, inches ever close to his inevitable official campaign launch. Fred Thompson is who I’m supporting, even though he isn’t officially running yet. I’m a Law & Order fanatic (I’ve been watching since the middle of season 2!) and I have said since [...]
Truly tasteless advertising?
From WCBS in NYC: (CBS) NEW YORK They’re ads you may have seen around the New York City. They’re supposed to be promoting storage, but they have a political and comical edge to them. But their latest ad doesn’t have too many people laughing. Its billboards have always been edgy, but has Manhattan Mini Storage [...]
Happy once more
The New York Post reports that 94% of Americans are satisfied with their lives. That’s a 4 percent increase in the last 5 years.

In the meantime, here are two fun little alphas that are also available in the kit. You can download them here if you want them, but don’t have a need for [...]

The coward’s way out
From BBC news: The boss of a Chinese toy firm involved in a huge safety recall has committed suicide, Chinese media has said. Zhang Shuhong, who co-owned the Lee Der Toy Company, was reportedly found dead at his factory in southern China. How cowardly. So, he’s willing to expose millions of children to a toxic [...]
New browser
For about the last year and a half I have been using a browser called Maxthon. For me, it was a good combination between the tabbed browser of Firefox and IE. I had tried Firefox, but found that pages like MSN games and some of the message boards I frequent did not show up properly, [...]
