The Amazon Gold Box . . .

Thursday, March 30th, 2006

Not quite what it used to be
I don’t if any of you out there shop on Amazon much, but if you do you probably know about the Amazon Gold Box.  It’s basicly a little area that makes 10 special offers to you per day, but you can only redeem one of them.  It disappeared for [...]

My Space Pen
A few weeks ago I remembered using my Space Pen (made by Fisher) and since then had been unable to find it.  I looked in all the usual places to no avail.  I had given up hope of finding it and was just going to buy a new one.

Microeconomics.
So far so good! Hahaha.  I hope so after one class.  But really, the teacher seems very good.  Hopefully my other two classes will be the same, although I know one of my other teachers is hard to understand since I’ve had him before.  Sorry for the mundane post.

What he said
I could write a review telling you that this play was good and you should go see it. I could. But why bother when the other Craig already did. He’s a better writer than I am. I will add a couple things that he didn’t mention. It took [...]

DVD+R DVD-R ugh . . .

Sunday, March 19th, 2006

So I bought a new DVD player, then returned it.
I’m a geek, but lately I just want things to work, no tinkering. I have old Apex DVD player and it didn’t play my DVD-R burns that I recently made. It’s old so I figured it just didn’t play burned discs at all. [...]

Burgers and Boots and Burgers . . .

Sunday, March 12th, 2006

Bought some boots, ate some burgers
Friday I had a cheese burger craving that hit me like a Mack truck. I ignored it. That, my friends, was a mistake.
