Spring Ahead…Into My Thought Pool

Now that I’ve got my email fixed, it’s ramblin’ time! I’m so happy that winter was not too bad to us, but I’m even happier that spring just might be on its way. It’ll take me a long time to truly believe it’s here since winter never really got going, but whatever this weather is, …

Are You Sure You Need Those Cookies, Fatty?

This is a little weird and creepy in a the machines are taking over sort of way, but it also looks kind of neat. Microsoft, Whole Foods and a company called Chaotic Moon are teaming up to build a robot shopping cart. It follows you around the store, helps you keep track of the items …

A Post With A Bunch Of Stuff In It Just To Show You We’re Alive

So…this place sure has been hopping lately, eh? Yeah…about that. I’m sorry. Really, I am. But to be honest, it can’t be helped, and I can’t say when it’s going to get better. I don’t want to get into a whole lot of specifics, so I’ll leave it at this: There are a few things …

Please Continue To Let Somebody Do The Holding For You

The reasons for me to finally cave and invest in a phone much smarter than my current one have been piling up for a while now, and here’s another one.

5 People+1 Guitar = A Pretty Cool Cover

It’s been a bit of a long day and words are kinda failing me for some reason, so the best description I can come up with for this is that it’s quite great. I’ve never heard the original song, but this cover makes it sound pretty good. But the thing that really puts it over …

What Should You Do?

This video that came from a show called “What Would You Do?” has been floating around in my head for a while. Basically the show thinks of situations that make people feel all kinds of uncomfortable, then gets actors to play them out and watches what passing Joe Blows do about what’s happening. The subject …

It’s The New Curse At You & Me Interactive Play & Giggle Triplet Dolls!

I have to ask. The people freaking out because they think the talking toy they bought for their kids is swearing a blue streak phenomenon, is that a new thing or have I somehow managed to miss it up until maybe five or six years ago? Whatever the case, it’s happened again. This time, the …
