Airlines break things

Just saw a segment on the evening news (YES, THE NEWS!) about one man’s fight against an airline. Kinda like a David vs Goliath story. Anyway, this guy – Dave Carroll – travelled on a United flight, checked in his Taylor guitar, and landed only to find the neck broken. Well, it was a one [...]

Run, baby, run…

I’ve been running about 2-3 times a week for the past few months in a bid to lose weight and shape up (round is no longer the shape i want to be in).
Anyhow, I got this nifty app on my iPhone called Runkeeper which tells me how far I’ve run, how fast, how many calories [...]

Textual Stimulation

Ever had one of those “intellectually stimulating” conversations which go off on a tangent, and then it just runs away and takes on a life of its own because the puns are just there for the taking, and if you don’t you’ll feel you let yourself down?

Well…this is not quite that, but I was walking past someone who was talking loudly in public on his cell-phone today, and it got me thinking about how things that were considered weird, out-of-the-ordinary, or [...]

Quotable Quotes II

You know how every now and then, you really come up with some real gems without intending to?
Anyhoo, I was minding my own business in the office today and doing my stuff  when a colleague called me over to his desk. He had clicked on a link in an email, for some course that was [...]

Hasta la Vista, Acer…

Was helping my aunt set-up her newly bought laptop (ok, not so new now) when I encountered obstacle, after obstacle, after obstacle.
Finally, the last straw came today, and I have had enough! Don’t know if my attempts to give feedback were being thwarted, but I was not to be denied!
Will keep you all posted if [...]
