It seems that CARMEX® is either the recipient of a jokester advertising agency or they are truly a progressive bunch, regardless, their new ad campaign “Share the Tingle Video Contest” has me floored. UPDATE: for clarifications, I want to point out that I’m floored because nobody thought about how bad/gross that sounds, not that I [...]

MobileMe apologizes and handles things well.

I just updated to Wordpress 2.6, and thought I’d try out their new Quick Blog bookmarklet “Press This.” It’s kind of meta to blog about a blogging bookmarklet while using the bookmarklet… Kind of.

Serious problem with Trial Software - and the Apple mistake
Published by July 11th, 2008 in Webby and rants. 2 CommentsI recently tried out OmniFocus, Omni Group’s ‘Getting Things Done’ application. I actually liked it, a lot, yet decided not to buy it due to it’s combined price of $79.95 for the desktop version plus $19.99 price for the iPhone companion application. In the end, it was a good product, but seemed pricey considering the [...]
www.tuaw.com has a 23-image walkthrough of the new service, and I have to say, the one thing that stood out was how unimpressed I was. I was looking at the pictures thinking to myself, “Yeah, so what. That looks like the applications I use.” Then I remember: THIS IS A WEBSITE!
Going through the images, I [...]
Just a few quick shots of what we were riding. Not that impressive, but lots of fun.
Glaspeys and Meldahls go to Whistler from Jason Glaspey on Vimeo.
And I realized later that I said “I’m glad I had armor on.” Meaning, the pads probably saved my life… You should see my bruises…

Published by July 8th, 2008 in My Wife and funny. 3 CommentsHolly: “Alright, enough vacations. We need to start investing in assets.”
Me: “Memories are assets, Holly.”
Holly (sarcastically): “OOOOH, that’s good. You should write that down.”
So I did.
