A Great Failure
For two years, I used Peapod to get groceries. For those unfamiliar to being a “Podster”, with Peapod you select all of your groceries online and they deliver them to you. My, those were the days!
But then hard times hit my checkbook. Additionally, now that I live only a block [...]

In order to pay the bills, I’ve been forced to sporadically participate in focus groups for different services/products. To date, I’ve taste tested scotch, argued about sound effects for AOL, critizized Blockbuster video for an hour and even played a video game. It’s a fascinating experience and a great way to take [...]

Some things I didn’t know about coffee…

Well put Chuck! That’s the way to solve problems; “wish” them away as you drink a beer. Furthermore, Chuck [...]

Slow news day? Is Britney bombing at the MTV music awards not a big enough story?
Apparently that’s the case as the New York Times ran an article today about a parrot dying.  We’re not talking about a local newspaper or the Brookfield Zoo newsletter, nope, the New York Times.
To be fair, the reporter, Benedict Carey,  [...]

Last night, approx 2:30 am I was waiting for the El.  I was reading the Onion and having some laughs, but none of the articles could equal the 85 year old onion article standing several yards from me. 
First of all, why was an octogenarian waiting for the El at 2:30 in the morning?  That should be [...]
