The Lost Art of Using the Blinker

Published on September 27, 2006

There are very few people nowadays that actually use their blinker and frankly speaking I am surprised eevrytime someone uses their blinker properly in actual driving conditions. Just this morning on the way to work, there was a 350Z weaving in and out of traffic without the use of a signal blinker nor a single [...]


Aborted Fetuses (Fetii?) as a Shock Tactic

Published on July 31, 2006

I was reading on digg.com about the national group that is Pro-Life is going to fly a billboard sized image of an aborted fetus. This is just ridiculous. I was actually driving by a local mall here and there was a young man standing with a sign that said “Warning, graphic images of American atrocities”, [...]

Published on June 26, 2006

American Express wanted to get crazy with their design and make it easier for people to use their Gold Card. Problem is, is that the easier it is to use, the less secure it is.


Possible $100 Gas Rebate?

Published on April 27, 2006

UPDATE: The GOP has canned the idea. What in the hell were they thinking in the first place?

March Madness Gripes

Published on March 30, 2006

Textbooks Cost Too Much

Published on January 23, 2006

Being in school from 1997-2002, textbooks were expensive, but costs continue to rise like an old school pair of Jordans. Right now, textbook costs are rising at double the inflation rate. How can we keep up? I’m not going to go out and purchase a $190 textbook on how to program a Windows kernel. Ridiculous. [...]


What Ever Happened to Customer Service?

Published on January 12, 2006

Over the weekend I was surfing one of my favorite forums and noticed that there was a hidden feature on Circuit City’s website. It allowed me to find an Xbox 360 in stock in one of the local Circuit City’s. I called the store and the department itself to see if they had any in [...]


HD- DVD’s and What it Means To You

Published on January 9, 2006

Since the DVD began increasingly popular over the past decade, we have been slowly replacing our good ol’ buddy the VHS tape. I was reluctant to do it at first, because that meant a $200 investment into a DVD player. Now it is a household staple. Probably as popular as the refridgerator. When MY 89 [...]
