Don’t hold back!
Toyota and Honda are kicking butt so hard right now in car sales they’re actually thinking about raising their prices to give their beaten up American counterparts (namely Ford and GM) some breathing room!
Come on!!! If you’re doing great, I say stick it to’em! And before you go and call me un-American, realize […]

Very cool. I bet they’re plugging into that app I saw a while back that uses a knowledge base to play 20 questions. Pretty smart!!

Only by Tigger. Paul Winchell, the voice of Tigger died today. Sure, he was just a voice, but it was one I strongly identify with my childhood. I loved Winnie the Pooh. I fantasized a lot as a child and still enjoy today the escape of fantasy, sci-fi, etc. Christopher Robin was an easy boy […]

Well, I got my iPod back from iPodMods.com. If you need repairs, they’re the place to go. Friendly, helpful staff, who do great quick work. When I got it back I couldn’t even tell it’d been opened. My hard drive had problems. I don’t know if it’s from jogging with it, or from the problems […]

Ian and I saw Batman Begins last night with my dad (took him there and for dinner at Fuddrucker’s for Father’s Day). I have to say I was very impressed. I’m so glad they chose to ‘reset’ the series after “Batman on Ice” (also known as Batman & Robin).
Christian Bale amazed me in American Psycho, […]

Had a fun, busy weekend. We kicked it off with dinner at Chris & James house to celebrate James’ birthday. Saturday was Hawiaan Falls, the water park near our house with a group of friends.

I’m so glad it’s Friday. I was going to post yesterday that my project went live on AA.com, but…it didn’t. We turned it on in the wee hours of the morning and our traffic slammed the downstream third party system and promptly hosed them. My favorite question from the repeated conference calls was “So, you […]
