Got my new computer – an Aspire 6930 Not the fastest thing out there, but a good solid, pretty fast computer. I like it…that is except for Vista. And then I went and bought some new software to go with it…Office 2007. Now my computer really sucks…Excel and Word crash regularly…my Adobe Creative Suite CS4 is awesome and about [...]

I’ve got a flash for you Bush…

OMG, we are sending how much in food aid to where? http://www.cnn.com/2008/POLITICS/04/15/whitehouse.food.crisis/index.html
That would be fine IF we could feed our own country, but hasn’t our insane president figured out people are hungry in the UNITED STATES? With economic collapse imminent, we are sending our food stores to other countries? With people going hungary and not [...]
The Technologically Impaired
April 15, 2008 – 10:38 am
Just got our taxes form to fill out for the accountant. They are going “digital”. Yeah, right. I received an encrypted PDF to “print out and mail back to us”. So what’s digital about that? I called to try and help – tell them how to check the right box so it could be digitally [...]
What’s wrong with this car insurance scenario?
February 7, 2008 – 1:34 am
Where is the justice anymore? Recently my daughter was in an accident – fortunately her airbags went off and she is fine. However, because she just paid off her car and could barely afford to eat, much less pay for car insurance, she dropped it down to PLPD – what that means is she had no collison. [...]

Someone recently asked if Outsourcing is a bad thing….well, I have one word: Michigan Outsourcing has ruined our state. There is nothing left here but government jobs doing work for the defense department. The only non-govt jobs left here are retail like Wal-Mart and McDonald’s. Everything else has moved overseas or is being outsourced there. Businesses [...]
Princeton Eggs
January 29, 2008 – 1:03 am
For the last few days I’ve been mesmerized by the Princeton EGGS – the Global Consciousness project. If you haven’t noticed, they are almost all RED – which is supposed to mean we are all thinking in the same direction (probably a bad direction). It’s bothered me though, that nobody will tell you where the [...]
Chasing my tail
December 14, 2007 – 5:57 am
Why is it lately, all I seem to do is fix everyone elses mistakes. I spend all my time on the phone getting refunds someone forgot or fixing bills that are wrong. Examples?
Comcast has screwed up my bill for over a year and still can’t seem to get it right (doesn’t count the terrible service [...]
Complications
December 9, 2007 – 5:21 pm
Life has become so complicated. I can imagine a caveman (not the Geico one) dropped into our time and having to cope with everything. Insurances, Credit, online shopping – yikes. The thing that really bugs me though is how it seems lately you’re always fixing someone elses mistakes. Just this week I had to: fix [...]
