Chick-Fil-A: Show Us The Cow

I love Chick-Fil-A, both their food and how they run their business. What I didn’t realize is that they’ve been having a contest for kids to take their little stuffed cows with them on vacation and take pictures.
You can see some of the great and funny photos that have already been taken as well […]

Some Really Old ‘n Cold Beer

Check-out this eBay listing for a really old, specially formulated bottle of ale that was bottled and used on an arctic expedition. You say an old bottle of beer isn’t that interesting? Did you see the price? $500,000+. HALF A MILLION BUCKS for a bottle of brew.

Season Ending Diving Board Accident

With the restart of school for most people, the summer is coming to an end. I know our family will be spending far less time at the pool than they normally do in the summer. With all that in mind, I thought I’d share one of my favorite online videos.

New Plaxo Pulse

It took me forever to accept a friend’s offer to start using Plaxo, but ever since I did I’ve been very pleased with the service they’ve provided. In fact they have done what they promote, and saved my entire address book from permanent deletion when my main computer crashed.

Use Google Earth for the Celebrity Homes Tour

I did a post not too long ago about the things you could find while using Google Earth or other mapping services similar.

Shady Google Advertising

For this post I’ve uncovered some fraudulent internet advertising schemes! Buyer Searchers beware!!!

As you can see, I’m searching for “kids plastic painting smocks”. My daughter needs one because she’s starting kindergarten tomorrow and it’s on the list. […]
