Ugh. "Sparkling Essence" barely sparkles, minimal essence

The things I do to cut calories and avoid sweeteners...

Dear Apple in-app sub policy haters: Stop whining, start thinking http://tinyurl.com/45selhv

I keep reading people complaining about Apple’s in-app subscription policy, yet they aren’t thinking very hard about ways to beat the system. Apple’s own rules limit in-app purchases to in-app goods/services. Therefore, cross-platform goods/services cannot be purchased in-app. Consider the implications.

Dell launches Windows-based multi-touch tablet - three years ago http://tinyurl.com/6x5q7sw

Don’t know why people are getting excited over a Dell multi-touch tablet running Windows 7. If you really want it, buy one now at http://www.dell.com/tablet.

@Amazon So "Ready to Ship" means ready to pack in another box?

So I guess that sticker just doesn't mean anything.

@mikecane Look who's hot on Twitter

Especially impressive since I’m not logged in to Twitter on this machine so presumably it’s not just pulling from people I follow.

Found my book in PDF http://tinyurl.com/64vwzwd

Impressive quality too (the file, not necessarily the content). Looks like an authentic digital copy, not a scan of the book.

Finally reached a competent tech at @Comcast - Thanks Ronald!

Two calls to Comcast last night to no avail. One call today, and I’m online in minutes. It’s baffling how easy that was. Thanks Ronald!

Who needs an Internet kill switch, when there's @Comcast

Clearly those extra channels put us over the limit of the quantity of services Comcast can provide at once. Still no Internet access this morning.

Added channels, lost Internet. Thanks @Comcast

I sign up for more channels, they cut my Internet and phone. Clearly not worth it.

Damn it! Followed an @CocaCola truck to work and have been craving one since.

Of all the cravings I fight, the desire to guzzle an ice cold Coca-Cola could be the hardest. Curse you and your trucks and your use of high-fructose corn syrup!

A magic elixir for a snowy night

Hot chocolate made with real chocolate. Thanks, babe!

Apocalypse Snow 3: This Time, It's Persnowlal

The most horrible thing I have seen all week, specifically the 2nd and last photos.

Keep in mind, I was staring at my own bloodied face on Sunday and the scabby stuff since then. Click through at your own risk. Via Cracked.

 

Really hate grapefruit. Tastes bad and rips off name of another fruit.

Seriously, there was already a fruit called “grape” and it looks totally different. It’s like naming a new leafy green “carrotvegetable.”

Ugh. Had no idea I've been a semicolon junkie for so long.

Skimming through my old book and found a semicolon. Assumed I didn't really use it until after teaching at Sylvan, but clearly it's been longer.

Ice on the sidewalk

Ice crystallization pattern caught my eye when taking out the recycling.

@Energizer this installation template sucks #FAIL

Just glad I spotted the problem before I drilled.

Artists cannot spell #FAIL

I don't know what's worse: misspelling their own name or the boringness of their ad for art instruction.
