Observations, rants, and musings by Joe Siegler.
As most who have looked for this info know, the 1-800 phone number for Amazon.com has been around for years and years. It’s existence is not listed in the Amazon help area, but if you googled for Amazon 800 number, you could find it. That number is 1-800-201-7575 I’ve called that for years, I almost […]
My parents told me about Mr. Common Sense early in my life and told me I would do well to call on him when making decisions. It seems he was always around in my early years but less and less as time passed by. Today I read his obituary. Please join me in a moment […]
Be on the lookout. If you are at a serious function, one never knows when a dinner roll might end up in your lap. These guys are scary.
This month brings another new revision. I’ve started moving towards the new 4.0 version of Movable Type, the software that powers this blog/site/fiasco. As such, there’s a lot to be gained from the new back end stuff in the new version, so I decided to start from scratch and redo my templates and themes. This […]
Since I live in Dallas, and have the hell of living in Cowboy land, one majorly huge lifeline for me is the NFL Sunday Ticket package on DirecTV. It allows me to watch pretty much whatever game I want, so I get to see all the Eagles games (I’m from Philly), and Steeler games (wife’s […]
You know how it is when you get songs stuck in your head, and you can’t get rid of them, right? Sometimes you luck out and you get a song you like, and it’s not so bad. Most of the time it’s something you don’t like, and the only way I’ve found to get rid […]
The iPhone has been out since last Friday. Everything I’ve read about it (and I’ve read A LOT) since last Friday has told me this thing would be a tech geek’s orgasm. It’s outstandingly pretty, the interface is everything I want. But Apple went and priced the darn things out of reach of most folks […]
I’ve been using Google Reader for some time now. It’s my preferred method of visting sites. In fact, if a site doesn’t have a feed for it’s content, I probably am not going there. I find it’s a lot easier to read information this way. It’s also beneficial in that you don’t have to wade […]
The season finale of the current series of Doctor Who just aired in England over the weekend. I rather liked it, but then again I’m a Who nut, and will like most anything they do. :) Anyway, the finale did seem to borrow a lot of “elements” from other things that have already happened. In […]
Today is the launch of Apple’s iPhone. It’s funny, two guys from my office today are heading over to a store not too far from our office to try and get one later this afternoon. There’s iPhone stories all over the web today. But this one irked me. Check this: Movie stars, who are accustomed […]
