Even my little local newspaper tried their own Groupon thing. That's why Groupon will fail; the barrier to entry is so low.

I hit it the other day on my Android phone. Cleared cookies, problem solved.

Google Calendar with a Gqueues kicker!

I started using this app about 3 weeks ago, "Sleep As An Droid" and I really like it. You set your wake time, lay it on your mattress and it tracks your wakefulness based on movement. When you set your wake time, if it senses that you are nearly awake say, within 20 minutes of your wake time, the alarm goes off. Works…

C'mon guys, we love you much. Get your heads out.

I like this. Bumped.

Give 'em two weeks' notice and hand them a consulting contract to retain you to assist in bringing your successor up to speed. You're right, they had their shot.

Buy a 3-5 year old Japanese car, preferably Toyota or Honda. That's what I have done for my last three cars (all Honda Accords). I have a cumulative 750,000 miles on them and probably haven't spent a total of $2000 on repairs. (Repairs, not maintenance.)

Once upon a time in America, calloused hands signified hard work. I say, flaunt them!

MissEducation is lucky that conductor didn't get the snake-head working.

"Yessir". That's the way it is pronounced here in North Carolina.

Sorry to disappoint, but I'm not nearly as materialistic as I used to be. Actively trying to get rid of shit.

My cat leaves me a mouse, or a vole or a bird, about once a week, on my back porch. Places it neatly just outside the door for me.

My daughter.

Way back, my uncle got his first Porsche 911. This was back in the days when cops were just starting to use radar guns and the radar guns were routinely capturing trees going 100 mph. Well, unc was headed home one afternoon at ~138 mph when he got pulled over.

I've gotten out of tickets by simply fessing up. "Yessir, I was going too fast. I should've been paying a little more attention."

The truck doesn't even get shut off and the driver stays in the truck. The whole process only takes a couple of minutes.

From the article:

I bought a Lenovo desktop a couple of months ago and so far, it is excellent. No crapware. It's my first non-Dell desktop and it's been a good buy.
