I Almost Got Rear Ended Today
O Joy! today just proved to me why I don’t normally arrive to work on time. I usually show up closer to 9:30 than 9:00 and it is because I am either sitting in jammed traffic or about to be killed like today). In my rearview mirror I spotted a car barreling down on me…

The other day driving into work an idiot driver decided to exit on the right from the far left lane after speeding through a 45 mph zone. (wish I could send these videos to the police and let them send out a ticket to the guys….they do it when it is their traffic cams maybe…

Black Hat, Confusion & Integrity
Do you know what the term “black hat” means. Would you understand it if it were used in a footnote of an article you were reading? Most likely not. Black Hat is a hacker term for someone who violates computer security. I was recently appalled by an article about SEO tactics that were so incredibly…

Think I Have Learned a Valuable Lesson
OK, last night I spent all that time driving home playing with the Dragon Naturally Speaking App on my phone thinking it would help me get my ideas out of my head and onto “paper” so to speak. Well, all it did was teach me a very valuable lesson. DO NOT USE YOUR PHONE AT…

Weird Dreams
Had a dream the other night where I was stuck in this little town (one I dream about often but have never been in) and I was circling the same three block radius. Every time I would pass this one intersection there was an accident. A different accident each time I passed. Finally after about…

You Can’t Make This Stuff Up

All Shook Up and Nowhere to Go But The Kitchen
OMG! I was sitting in my living room watching the Star Trek: The Next Generation marathon on the SCIFI Channel and working on my website StarTrekToysOnline.com (no longer have that domain) when all of the sudden there was this loud crash followed by several very loud bangs. The whole house shook. I got so scared I…

Real Life Mario Kart
Mario Kart is one heck of hard game to find. I had to borrow a friend’s to see if I like it before resorting to ordering it online. I guess I might have to buy it, as it is pretty fun. Although I do suck at it guess I’ll get better with practice. I ran…

Hot Car Not Cooling Off
There is nothing worse than getting into a dark car on a hot summer day except getting into that same car when the air conditioner isn’t working properly. My friend’s new car (you know the one she got after our accident last November) just does not seem to cool off the car. There has to…

Comcast Cable Sucks Here’s Why – Part 5: The Jerks That Drive Their Vans
Aggressive drivers really should behave themselves while driving the company car. Maybe they get so caught up in their speeding and tailgating they forget they are in an easily identifiable vehicle.
