My Nephew’s preschool class recent took a field trip to a local store. They went to the bakery and saw the big mixers and how donuts are made. They toured the meat section where they had some interesting machines and I am sure the rest of the store. Gadgets have an effect on guys at…

Kill Internet Explorer With CSS
We got a call today at The Plan Collection that was interesting. A guy was trying to print out one of our pages. Each time he tried his browser would crash. At first I thought, “that is just nuts. Html can’t crash your browser.” Then Jake tried it and it crashed Internet Explorer. Then I…
Cache County Library System
Right now in Cache County each city has its own library system and citizens of one city are not allowed to checkout books from a library in another city unless they pay for a very expensive library card. This is unfortunate as it creates a barrier to information for those who really need it. By…
The COSL Guys are Disgusting
First there was the joke about bacon chocolate chip cookies. Sure somebody did it and it was funny. Then Jeremy actually made them and brought them to game night and people ate them. Thinking about it makes me dry heave. Now Tom brings us Mini Mos (chocolate) bacon bars. My stomach may never recover.
Really Neat Photography
Most of the cool photos you see are manipulated via photoshop these days. Miss Palmen, a 44-year-old Dutch artist, creates her art the old fashion way and the results are amazing.
Weddings So Totally Suck
Weddings suck. Everything about them, surrounding them and having to do with them is really quite inane. Although I am sure I will take a lot of crap for writing this which may or may not result in a dissolution of a certain matrimony which required such an event, I am going to do it…

This is sad news for Utahns. Snelgrove ice cream is going away. When I was a kid I always loved caramel cashew. My grandfather used to buy it on their trips to Salt Lake City and carry it home in an ice chest with dry ice in it. They have been around for 79 years,…
2008 Tour de France – Don’t Watch It
As long as I am ranting about everything under the sun I may as well add the Tour de France to the list. This year they have banned Team Astana from participating. The result of this action is that Alberto Contador and Levi Leipheimer, last years 1st and 3rd place finishers won’t be in the…
Wife Got a Temporary
Every three months my wife spends $60 bucks on this nasty smelly treatment called a ‘permanent’. It makes your hair curly. My question is, even though at three months it outlasts most celebrity marriages can it really be a called a ‘permanent’. Shouldn’t it be called a ‘temporary’?
Mozy.com’s Backup Software is Shit
Yes you read that right. I used to love this company. The concept is great – backup your data online for dirt cheap. Install the software and away you go. They backup everything and even encrypt your data for security. You get cheap backups and they get a little bit of money. I thought this…
