Here it comes to save the day!

Tuesday, July 25th, 2006

Ever since I purchased the mighty mouse I have loved it.

The sleek lines. The smooth top case thats touch sensitive. The non-intrusive scroll wheel ball. It’s truly a thing of beauty.

The only thing that I found frustrating about it is the cord. Sure it blows away any other two button mouse. But to make it really good it should be wireless. Especially since all macs now come with Bluetooth.

The wait is over. Today Apple announced the new Wireless Mighty Mouse.

So now, since I have become a Mac whore I will have to go out and buy this mouse. Sure I have the corded mouse. But if I can go wireless and save a USB plug I am.

Now the big question is how I’m going to justify it to The Wife. Wish me luck!

Beggers

Thursday, July 6th, 2006

Don’t you just love the way things are done today?

No more are we allowed to go from door to door asking for donations for our causes. Or let our children walk the streets to sell the wares of the school fund raisers or a something-a-thons. All this because of people molesting or taking children now more then they did in the day I was a youth. Or maybe they did do this back when I was a kid but now were only trying to put a scarlet letter on people.

So Instead of going door to door, or calling on the phone or sending mail. People now sit in front of grocery stores and beg while you walk in and out.

This bugs the piss out of me. The last thing I want or need to do is give you money when I’m on my way in to spend money. Just because I have buying on my mind doesn’t mean that I want to just give you money.

And while I’m on it. Why the hell have the Girl Scouts started to set up shop in front of the stores. Now not only do we have to deal with the parents of these future pole dancers at work. We have to dodge them when walking into a store. No, I don’t want your damn over priced cookies. Sure they taste good, but so does anti-freeze. Don’t believe me? Go try some.
