Thinking outside the box business.

Crazy friday! We are moving tomorrow and this morning I went to the box store to buy some boxes. I could NOT believe that a cardboard box about 2×2 feet and about 2 feet deep was $2.50! An empty box costs $2.50!

So after the initial shock, I asked the lady if I could return them and she said no, okay, so what if they are in good condition and I sold them back to you for a buck each. She said no. I do not understand the box business! Are we supposed to buy boxes worth 30 bucks and use them for a day and then all you are left is with no room to store these boxes that cost you 30 bucks. You have to throw them away!

Looks like a lucrative business is lurking somewhere in the box rental world. So if anyone wants to buy 10 good boxes for 10.00 or rent it for 50 cents a piece, let me know!

This theme is free? Really? This by far is one of the nicest themes I’ve seen in recent times.

Border Patrol Eats Free!

I was driving by this area that is dominantly south American and I saw this sign and had to turn around and take a picture. I wish I had the name of the restaurant in there as well.. but I was driving. I found it hilarious that a south American restaurant had a sign with “Border Patrol Eats Free” and then disturbingly - “Pre-owned Gold Teeth, Bought and Sold.”

Updating cs3

Holy Cow! a 360MB update? Installing the updates for CS3 and it’s a freakin’ 360MB download. CS3 is about a gig, each update is about 360 MB. Yet I don’t really see the difference or enjoy the benefit of the update.

Good grief!

Enough said.

Here are a few American sports and its (close to) equivalent counterparts. What are the biggest differences? In more of a lighthearted poke, I do like baseball - American Football really sucks though.

Difference between Football and American Football

Rugby and American Football

American Football continues to confuse me. First of all - using your hands to hold the ball and then there is the Big 10 - made up of 11 or possibly 12 teams. What in the world?

Cricket and Baseball.

I wiped my site clean and am playing with a simple Wordpress Theme. Stick around for more posts every other year or two.

On another note.. Wordpress 2.6 is SMOKIN!
