It’s amazing that it doesn’t take us long to come up with another pack of ads that deserve mention. Here we go. They have these new Ford commercials telling you that you should really drive a Ford, and one of the big things they’re all proud of is how much electronic stuff is packed into …

Cash Cab
I’ve now become addicted to a gameshow I’d never seen before. I was visiting someone, and they had Discovery Channel on, and this show called Cash Cab came on. Basically, this dude is driving around in acab, and people get in, and then they find out they’re on aTV quiz show. As they drive to …
Tweet Tweet Tweet
Lately, I’ve had a ton of people asking me if I was on Twitter. I’m not, so I say no. I cannot figure out the purpose of Twitter unless you’re using it to link to something where you can read more information. Randy Cassingham wrote abig article about how Twitter can be useful, so I …
United Breaks Guitars
This song has been in my head, and all I heard was the chorus on the news. I guess United Airlines smashed Dave Carroll’s guitar while packing it into luggage and said they weren’t responsible for the damage. So he wrote a little song about it. I guess now he’s made United sit up and …

Carbecue!
More fury involving food. What a waste of perfectly good barbecue sauce and pickles to throw them on a car two nights in a row. They didn’t even manage to do any damage. What a weird way to get revenge.
Solona Update
Remember when I talked about Solona and how clunky it was? Well, it’s now gotten significantly easier. There is now a screen capture tool that will grab the image and save it to a file automatically for you. Then you just have to upload the image, refresh until you get a result, and there ya …
Boy, What A Picture, What A Photograph…
Yesterday, I asked how bad the guy looked who took a few deadly punches from the retired boxer whose house he tried to burgle. Jill didn’t disappoint. Here is her description, a fine description I must say. Okay, you asked – his “before” picture is of an average good looking young man with a devilish …
That’s Talent…Or Something
A woman blew a .413 on the breathalyser and still managed to walk a straight line in heels! That’s scary! that’s one hell of an alcohol tolerance.
