Pay day is both happy and sad for me. I got paid on Wednesday this week. Since my paydays only come once a month, you can imagine how anxious it can make me to wait on it when I’m broke. The reason it’s sad is because that’s also the day I usually pay all my…
Get Mom Shoes for Mother’s Day
You can never go wrong with buying a woman shoes. She’ll know you tried, even if she doesn’t like them. It’s a thoughtful gift, and what’s better is she’ll have to wear them at least once even if they’re completely off from her particular style. Just make sure you get the right size, and that…

The shoes that every kid used to nag his parents over when I was a child, British Knights (or BK) were discontinued, sometime shortly after the likes of MC Hammer and Vanilla Ice put down the microphone in the ’90s. I don’t know the exact date or time, but they seemed to fade out in…

Google Docs: Safe Enough for Your Business?
I’ve recently been testing out Google Apps for Your Domain to see how well Gmail integrates with my web host and apparently it does the job pretty well.

Consumerist: 7 Confessions of an Apple Store Specialist
Consumer watch-dog website Consumerist has an informative article about things every consumer that shops in an Apple Store should know. My favorite part: 1.

The Rage You’ve Been Missing
So it was mentioned that I don’t do a lot of raging on here about crazy incidents with customers. I’ll give you a good one that’s been happening a lot lately: Our university went with Windows Live Mail to outsource our student e-mail service last semester. Students were given until April 15th when the server…
