Best Buy is strange
Joe SieglerI’ve personally never believed in the axiom “The Customer is always right” (it’s almost always the other way around). However, Best Buy is taking it to new levels. Check out this article which talks about how Best Buy is trying to cut out 20% of their customer base, since BB considers them “bad for business”. […]
Caller ID spoofing
It would seem to me that crap like this should be stopped before it can get started. I mean, why the smeg am I paying $7 a month to my phone company for Caller ID when people can do shit like this? http://www.securityfocus.com/news/9822
TiVo heads down a bad path
I’ve been a TiVo fan and user for awhile now – I got my first TiVo back in May of 2000. I’ve been expounding the benefits of this product to everyone that I can think of for a long time. However, today I read something that has made me wonder how much longer TiVo as […]
Congrats Red Sox
Congragulations to the Red Sox who won the World Series tonight. What’s most amazing to me is not the fact that it’s been 86 years since they last won. It’s the fact that they were one inning away from being swept out of the playoffs by the Evil Empire in the ALCS. They came back […]
Windows XP & Default Program Settings
First off, please don’t answer with “Have her not use Outlook Express”. That’s not an option. My question is this. At home I use Windows XP Home, and for quite awhile both my wife and I used Outlook Express. Tonight, I switched over to using Pegasus Mail for my home mail. I’m already using it […]
Mobil & Texaco Gas Stations
A couple of years ago I noticed that Shell Oil merged (or bought out, I forget which) Texaco. Over time, all the Texaco gas stations in this area became Shell stations. The Texaco gas card I had was replaced by a Shell card I was sent. Then Mobil & Exxon merged, and became ExxonMobil Oil. […]
Steelers / Cowboys game
The Steelers game was awesome. My wife and I had tickets to the Steelers game in Texas Stadium today. Was a fabulous come from behind win. However, one cool thing was that when we got home, both sets of parents told us we were on TV, and a friend of mine said myself and my […]
FUH2
This picture brought to you by the letter H and the number 2. What is fuh2? Well, you can check out their website, or you can read below: The H2 is the ultimate poseur vehicle. It has the chassis of a Chevy Tahoe and a body that looks like the original Hummer; i.e. it’s a […]
Envelope Program
Does anyone know of a program for Windows XP that will handle a collection of addresses and can print envelopes and labels? I currently am using stamps.com to print envelopes, and it’s awesome for that, but I grow tired of the monthly fee for that software. I’d like to move to something else, but I’ve […]
Gorillas & Cars
Something I’ve always wondered is why car companies feel compelled to use inflatable something or other to get attention. I mean, does anyone ever actually see one of these things and go “Oh. I wasn’t thinking about buying a car, but with this stupid inflatable here, I think I’ll pull in and take a look”. […]
