Just a couple guys being funny at the shoe store:

Thursday 9.4

Now that school's back in session, here's some tips on getting your work habits rebooted. As it turns out, you're supposed to work at work and not just fool around here on this website. Who knew?

Thursday 8.28

Info on those Simplicity bassinet warnings available here. They're warnings and not recalls because the company that bought out Simplicity isn't cooperating with the federal government on the issue. Charming. (UPDATE: The bassinets have finally been pulled from Wal-Mart shelves, where they were sold exclusively.)

So what are those 15,000 reporters doing in Denver? Mainly drinking free beer.

You know what your computer needs? A toaster. Really!

And as promised, the debut of our campaign parody-wear; check this little item out! (McCain stuff debuts next week if all goes well)

How your printer hoses you. And more importantly, some non-scammy tips on how to beat The Man and get the most out of your toner cartridges.

Two girls grow their own produce in their back yard and decide to sell a little of it. No can do, says the mayor, who is a poopyhead.

Thursday 8.21

Patrick Ewing Has a Time Machine.

Diaroogle is a new directory of public toilets...they're in beta, so still not a lot of local locations but you can add those if you've found good ones.
