Some friends are in tow this time around, so I’m hoping it’s even more fun than it was last year.

I’ve been using google’s gmail for my personal email for several years now. I love it for many reasons (some of which I’ve already discussed). It has one of the best spam filters in the business.
Over the last month I’ve been saving all my spams that google so neatly places in my junk […]

I got some new music over the weekend.

Yes: the Ultimate Yes, 35th Anniversary Collection
The Psychedelic Furs: Greatest Hits
Rush: Counterparts

It was an 80’s nostalgic weekend for me.

P.S. - For some reason I can’t get the ending guitar riff from Yes’s Starship Troopers out of my head.  Good stuff.

Wanna find the cheapest gas in your neighborhood?
Check out MSN’s gas price widget.  Just punch in your zip and get a map of the best prices in your area.
Excellent, now you can afford that Hummer you’ve always wanted.

Ok.
We all buy our airline tickets online, right?
Because it’s cheap and easy, just like Hollywood.
But do you know when to buy your tickets? Have you ever wondered if ticket prices would drop tomorrow? Hmm…did I get the best deal or should I have waited a few days to buy?
Farecast can tell you […]

Those crazy Japanese games shows…
This game show is set in a mock-library where the contestants can not make any loud noises.  The game is quite simple.  A random person is picked from the group via a card and something bad is done to them while the others watch on.  Nobody can make a sound.
