A few months back I received this check from Citi: Nice touch Citi. 12 cents. It cost more to send me that check than the check is worth. And how much will it cost me to cash it? Even if I mail it to the bank instead of driving to the bank it’ll cost me […]
All this talk about “stimulus packages” and “bailouts”… A billion dollars… A hundred billion dollars… Eight hundred billion dollars… One TRILLION dollars… What does that look like? I mean, these various numbers are tossed around like so many doggie treats, so I thought I’d take Google Sketchup out for a test drive and try to […]
I was happy a few days ago with my updated Charter broadband speeds. Figured today I’d have to have some therapy. My love hate relationship continues. My overly priced $142.03 HD Cable, Internet and Phone “Bundle” decided to unbundle itself – now coming in at $177.99 – I just about gagged myself. Called into customer […]
I was presented with an awesome offer that just seemed to good to be true today from an online e-tailer. Seems that there’s a new credit card in town… So what is the “Black Card” ? Well… For those who demand only the best of what life has to offer, the exclusive Visa Black Card […]

This showed up in my inbox about 45 minutes ago… Ooops. Thanks for sending me this, VMware! Although not directly impacted by this effort – the clients that I’m working with are all scrambling. Essentially if you restart a virtual server running on VMware ESX 3.5 with update 2 on it, it will fail to […]
Strangely enough – it seems as though I’m getting quite a few opportunities for woman in police “uniforms”. Another WTF: A Chicago police officer has been suspended for 15 months for demanding free coffee and baked goods from six different Starbucks. Officer Barbara Nevers, a 14-year veteran, has also been ordered to undergo counseling. The […]
The sauce for a spicy Italian sandwich was apparently a must have for one Florida man. The man, Reginald Peterson, called 911 twice after a sandwich shop left off the sauce. Peterson initially called the emergency number Thursday so that officers could have his subs made correctly, according to a police report. The second call […]
