News Hounds From Hell
My little blog has gotten some national attention. Last week a writer from The Christian Science Monitor contacted me about my post on dogs in the office and why it is not always a benefit. He later called and interviewed me. His article is in the paper this week and is also posted on line.…

Excel File Hell
What the hell is wrong with Microsoft? Why in the world would they change the default file type of one of the world’s most used office programs? Microsoft Excel 2007 (as well as Word and Power Point) now have an XML based file format. The new Excel file extension is .xlsx, which of course cannot…

Don’t Bother Seeing The Strangers
Went to see The Strangers last night and quite honestly I was disappointed. The previews and critic quotes they splashed across the screen let me think I would be “messed up for life†and “unable to sleep for weeksâ€. Well I slept last night without any problems.

Sweetest Contest This Summer is at Cold Stone
Cold Stone Creamery is holding a delicious contest. Before I get into how cool and wonderful this is let me tell you it is for young adults 13 to 19 (which sucks for me because I would have so been there). Okay, so now you know and if you are between those ages you can…

Comcast Cable Sucks Here’s Why – Part 4: The Costs
Comcast has a load of problems (crappy DVR, crappy channels and crappy customer service), but the worst thing about them is their price. And it keeps going up. I wish there was a little more competition in this industry to keep the prices down. What really gets me hot under the collar is that the…

Comcast Cable Sucks Here’s Why – Part 3: The Corporate Offices
A little while ago I wrote about how awful Comcast is and that the DVR service sucks. Well, my little post got the attention of someone at Comcast and they emailed me asking for my account info so they could look into the matter. So I went ahead and sent them my name and phone…

The Litter Box Wars: Littermaid vs SmartScoop
Littermaid vs SmartScoop – it is the self-scooping litter box wars I’m talking about not a review of the expensive cat boxes. (But if you want my opinion the SmartScoop wins the review hands down so lets hope they win the legal battle too.) For a quick run down OurPets, a company that makes great…
