It's list time...
Each year, towards the end of December / first of January, every site on the internet switches into “Best X of the year!”, “Top X of This Year”, “All the X of the year” mode.  They become consumed with lists. You know why? Because everyone loves a good list.  Lists get site views, which gets advertisement views, which increases advertisement clicks, which leads...

Enterprise Rent-A-Car vs. Zipcar
marco: Enterprise: You make a “reservation” for a general car class (“Compact”, “Full Size”, etc.). But when you show up, they’re out of everything, and you’re stuck with something that’s not even close. In my case, my “Premium” (“Nissan Maxima, Toyota Avalon or similar”) was interpreted as a Mini Cooper. And while I enjoy driving Minis, they’re absolutely not “similar” to a full-size, 4-door,...

Stealing
The power outage today at home blew out our router.  Thank you unknown neighbor for the unprotected router.  You allowed me to check tumblr before heading to bed without having to dig out an old router to replace the burnt out one in the middle of the night.

Christmas Presents. Check.
Guess who’s got all of his Christmas shopping done! That’s right, This guy!  While normally I wouldn’t have even started shopping by now, I took a long lunch today and completed all of my shopping.  It feels good to be done.

SomaFM →
It’s that time again!  Every year SomaFM, an internet radio station, turns on two excellent Christmas stations.  My favorite is Xmas in Frisko (warning: sometimes it’s explicit).  They play the most eclectic Christmas music I’ve ever heard and a great way to listen to Christmas music without hearing the same songs over and over.  For example, right now they are playing...

Foursquare Connect
You’ve heard me talk about Foursquare before, but last night Mary and I had a pretty cool encounter that we otherwise wouldn’t have had. Mary and I went to see “Blind Side” last night at Phipps Plaza.  We both checked in to foursquare saying we were there, and one of our friends, Allison, text us to say that she was there too! By us being friends with her boyfriend, he got...
