Why? :scratch:
Company Christmas lunch. I also had two going in the oven, but those aren't as exciting.

In Moscow, escalators to carry the city
Found this Washington Post article quite interesting, wondered if this was a bit like how the US was in the fifties?
I log into my bank account every day to check transactions (thank you mint.com). Just noticed a transaction I didn't make dated today for ~$2800. Turns out BofA customer service claims department is only open business hours. Strike one.

Did you ask for it in a brown paper sack in non-sequential bills?So I told the bank teller I wanted it all in cash. It took her at least 25 minutes to gather the cash in $20s and $100s from the drawers and I had them recount it twice. I figured it cost the bank more than the $20 bank check to spend the time and to empty a small portion of the cash reserve.

A few years ago I had a window salesman call me. I decided to let him talk. After a half an hour + (I was asking questions, egging him on & on) I said " those sound like some really great windows"
sales guy- " how many would you be interested in buying?"
me- "I don't know, I'll have to check with the landlord"
sales guy- "LANDLORD??!!??"
me- "yes, I rent"
sales guy- CLICK!
Funny, he never called back :diablo:

When I paid off my Element, the quote BofA gave me for the amount to put on the check was apparently only valid for some tiny amount of time, like eight hours. So I mailed my check in and thought I'd get my title in the mail inthe next short while.
Nope.
Three months later I got a call asking why I hadn't been making payments on my car. My payoff check was short by something like $2, and I had two months of interest accrued, which brought my car payment up to a whopping $2.40. This woman I was talking to was all "Why do you think YOU don't have pay YOUR bill for YOUR car!" I just let her rant. I figured that letting her talk to me like that was probably costing BofA more than I owed on the car.
With the additional benefit of not having to talk to a human, doesn't their website allow you to flag suspicious transactions?
So, I finally got my Lenovo N5901 Mini Wireless Keyboard today. It seems pretty cool so far. The initial plan is to use it with my HTPC.
I ordered something from newegg on Monday and they called me in less than 2 minutes from the time I clicked submit to inform me of suspicious activity on my card at newegg and they've declined the charge. I guess all the other stuff I've bought throughout the years wasn't suspicious? None the less I'm glad they called to confirm, but was rather surprised how quickly it was.
What's a Sharonmobile?My drives are so cold and maybe getting a bit wet since being in the Sharonmobile since October. I wonder how long should I wait to use them indoors.
Talk about an obscure reference. I had to Google the name to even figure out who that was.(that you share with Jaimee Foxworth)

Tron was a movie in 1982 with Jeff Bridges? Why have I not heard of it before?
Because it came out in 1982 and was a Disney movie. My father took me to see it on opening day. At the time he told me that some day every movie would be like Tron and I didn't understand what he meant. Now we're doing effects on TV budgets that would have been jaw-dropping to see in a movie theater 10 years ago, and we take it for granted.
