Wednesday, May 2nd, 2012Rant on… My mom is coming down Mother’s Day weekend for my daughter’s dance recital. My wife and I always pay for her plane ticket. I went to Expedia.com to make the purchase.

My Latest Best Buy Experience
Monday, April 11th, 2011*Begin Rant Now…* Saturday afternoon, my 6-year old daughter was playing a PS3 game on our 3.5-year old Samsung flat screen (Model: LN-T5271F if you’re interested).

Friday, February 11th, 2011My wife has had a Tassimo machine for several years now. She loves it.

President Obama on 60 Minutes: “I did not run for office to be helping out a bunch of fat cat bankers on Wall Street,” Mr. Obama said in an interview on CBS’s “60 [...]
I Don’t Like Change
Tuesday, December 1st, 2009As has been my usual habit at the end of each month this year, I visited StandardandPoors.com to look up the month-end values for the S&P indexes. Well, today I noticed that the page I usually visited looked different from the last time I visited. Then I noticed that some of the features I had [...]
