Last spring, when gas prices were shooting skyward, everyone was writing posts, expressing their shock and disgust, and showing pictures of their local stations’ prices.
Well, here we are today with the lowest prices in just over a year. According to AtlantaGasPrices.com, the last time we saw prices this low was the week of December […]

To the officers and marketing director at Capital One:
Go away. Stop bothering me. I don’t want your credit card. My wife doesn’t want your credit card. My children don’t want your credit card. Above all I don’t want the advertisements and “pre-approved offers” your company is dropping into my mailbox almost every day. If I […]
So… it would appear that I’m not the only one who doesn’t need to watch sporting events live. “TiVo the big game and take back a few hours of your life today,” writes Tim S.
Mr. “Modeps” James is having trouble with PC Gaming:
It’s now been a few days of trying to get this stupid game to run. I’ve updated drivers, reinstalled the whole steam client, shut off anything that was running in the background that didn’t need to be… and just nothing works.
That was exactly the case in our […]
When you walk in the room today — at your office, church, hobby group, poker buddies’ place, or at home — what effect do you have on the people there? As ice cools the liquid in a drink, you can change everyone’s emotional state just by adding yourself to their midst.
Are you managing your own […]
It’s not quite that cold here in the Atlanta area yet, but it’s supposed to be later this week.
Perhaps it’s a good time to find yourself a copy of The Discovery Channel’s feature from last summer, Global Warming, What You Need to Know with Tom Brokaw. (there are other ways to watch it, not […]
The TWIM guys, when they say that “[Internet-delivered] video rises above novelty” repeatedly say that TV doesn’t have to be live “except for sports and news.” I’d put forth that more and more of us every day aren’t even watching sports and news “live.”
Sure, I may start watching a game - like today’s Seahawks/Bears […]
It’s Friday afternoon, and Tim Sanders has some thoughts on sending work-related email on weekends.
These habits can ruin weekends, drive turnover and burnout and weaken relationships.
In other words, not a good idea.
(Unless you’re writing to schedule a job interview with me , in which case a phone call would probably be better anyway)
I know I’ve made images of this barn before; as I passed it today I figured I’d get a fresh one and try that Orton thing that Geren mentioned. The instructions he points to really lightened up the image, so I backed it off a little and had to play with the transparency to get […]
For Mike (and the rest of us too), I’m going to add a 16th book to my list of Books to Jump-Start 2007: Keith Ferrazzi’s Never Eat Alone.
Though the book jacket blurb may sound like it’s all look out for number one, self-serving business “techniques,” there’s more to it. Like Tim Sanders, Ferrazzi’s point […]
It’s early yet, but this may just be the movie to see in 2007. It definitely is the one to see this month, while it’s still in theatres.
My son and his girlfriend were going to the movies and invited my wife and me to come along. I’ll admit that I wasn’t too interested in this […]
Snarfed unabashedly from Alex:
The Great Flickr Tools Collection - long list
Flickr Tools - another long list.
I need to take some time to explore both of those lists.
Web developers, have you looked into and downloaded Firebug yet? I just came across a mention of it on Matt’s weblog and it certainly looks worth a good look or three. Integrating live website editing — CSS, HTML, Javascript — fight into Firefox! Watch Jesse Newland’s screencast and I think you’ll be as interested […]
Congratulations go to Boise State, and thanks too for a very entertaining game.
Last night’s Fiesta Bowl game was the most exciting, fun-to-watch game that I’ve seen in a long time. The Broncos had heart and played an excellent game, coming back from behind with a 50-yard play on fourth-and-eighteen and touchdown to take the game […]
Ah, the first - fresh new year, full of hope and opportunities. My hope plan for the new year is a new opportunity. I’m very much looking forward to new employment, a new position, to getting back to out-of-the-home productivity (and the paycheck that goes along with it). But not today.
Today’s the day for parades […]
To all my family and friends, both online and off: May you have a healthy, happy, peaceful, productive and prosperous 2007, and may we be alive to share another day again this time next year.
