Doggedly determined in Boulder

A few weeks ago we were in Boulder acting like tourists. On the way there, we saw this dog driving a Toyota RAV4. I sometimes like to lean my arm out the window, but hey there, pooch! Be careful getting that much torso out the window and trying to drive, too.

Yelp is no help

I used to make fun of PC Magazine’s John Dvorak, but have grown to appreciate his insight and writing over the past couple of years. He recently posted an article called “Rethinking Yelp“.

I. Am. So. Full. Of Want.

There’s crazy and then there’s this thing. I guess if you’re going to endure the zombie apocalypse, you might as well do it comfortably. I wonder if they make an armored version.

I wish I had seen this one coming

There is currently an ad on Craigslist where a psychic wants to hire a receptionist. Wouldn’t the psychic just know and contact the person directly? “Hi, this is So-And-So the Psychic, and I would like to hire you.” Perhaps it’s just laziness on the part of the psychic. Then again, I used to joke about…
