Random meanderings you're probably not interested in…
I had a thoroughly enjoyable time at the Flying Saucer last night. They had a Dogfish Head beer tasting event, where we got to try five different Dogfish Head beers along with a five course tasting meal to go with the beers and such. First: By far, my favorite was the Midas Touch. It was … Continue reading “Dogfish Head Beer Tasting – Review”
Bought me a Roomba today. They had a deal going on Woot! and anyway I kind of need one. The hardwood in the new condo is proving difficult to keep clean on a regular basis. Since Mandy claimed to have gotten one while at the car dealership the other day, I figured I’d give it … Continue reading “Bought a Roomba”
If comic books had been more like this when I was a kid, I might have been interested in them.
Having two email accounts can be a pain. I’ve been using my GMail account for a long time, but I like the niceness of my ottodestruct.com domain better. It’s cleaner, overall. A bit more professional as well. I also use Firefox with the Google Toolbar. One of the nice things about it is the little … Continue reading “Fully Integrating Google Apps for your Domain”

Kat wrote about wanting an iPhone yesterday, but I’ve known for a long time that I’m really just not interested in the thing. Today I found this story on Gizmodo that really lays out why: Finally Confirmed: What the iPhone Doesn’t Have Songs as Ringtones Games Any flash support Instant Messaging Picture messages (MMS) Video … Continue reading “Why I won't be getting an iPhone”
Thinking about buying me one of these. It’s a Samsung 46″ HDTV. I kinda like it, and the price seems good. Anybody got any opinions on televisions? Bigger? Smaller? Different brand? Whatever you got, post a comment, let’s hear it.
I know that I’ve talked about Amazon Grocery before, last year in fact, but I got an email this morning from them basically trying to drum up interest in it again, and so I had another look. They have really expanded their product line. Plus, with the addition of their “Subscribe and Save” thing, the … Continue reading “Grocery Shopping Online”
You know what would be very cool? If Google rigged up their new Google Checkout service with something like Amazon Prime, but for multiple sites. Amazon prime is pretty cool. I signed up for it for a while, and getting free 2-day shipping for virtually everything you buy really rocks. You can order stuff without … Continue reading “Google Checkout Prime!”
