Here’s something Trixie has done lately that’s spooky. there’s probably nothing to this, but it’s still eerie. There are few times I’ve been caught without a bag when I take her out to relieve. Every time I realize that I don’t have a bag and say “ah crap, I don’t have a bag,” she doesn’t …

Whistle While You Work
I’ve talked on and on about how calling out bus stops can’t be that much of a distraction when I’ve seen bus drivers chat to passengers, mess with their fare box and sign, or even better, yap on their cell phones or eat cereal while driving. Now I’ve seen a new one. One driver, while …
Want To Win a Blackberry That Talks?
Whenever I would go home to dialupville, I always drooled at my brother’s Blackberry.

Re: Mylo
I rescind my request to be friends. I now officially hate you with a passion. There isn’t room enough for all of us. You can leave! Trixie and I were coming down the elevator. We got to the third floor and it opened. Trixie thought maybe we were getting off, so stood up and stepped …

Google, Please Do No Evil
I know that Las Angeles’s computer systems are antequated, described as “Pac-Man-era technology”, but is the solution to transfer all the city’s sensitive data over to Google?

Smash TV’s, Feel Better. Wal-Mart.
There isn’t much to this story. the only thing that keeps making me laugh is the image of Jeremy Allan Rhodes walking around Wal-Mart, first with a softball bat, next with a lamp, smashing TV’s. Why? We don’t know. All we know is he has issues and he’s in jail now. Let’s hope after the …

Ooo! Driving the Blind Driver Challenge Vehicle sounds like fun! Can I do it? Can I can I can I? Please? I personally would have to take a hell of a lot of training to feel confident out on the road, but this sounds like a cool idea. I’d at least enjoy driving it around …
