So close.

Today is the closest I have ever come to getting the coveted “Bag O’ Crap” during a Woot-off. Bummer. I was quick enough to get the “I want one” button and get to the login page but since I wasn’t smart enough to have logged in earlier in the day, I lost out due to a server overload. For those that don’t follow too closely, they sell for a dollar but are rarely just “crap” and always sell out in less than a minute.

I’ve still seen no substance…

But you can’t discount that he has style. These images do what they are supposed to do, make him look human.

76-year old woman arrested for 73rd time

If she’ll hurry up and steal a couple more wallets that’d be one heck of a story to tell the grand kids: 76 arrests in 76 years.

Note: there seems to be some discrepancy in the published articles. Some sources have it listed as 73 while others list 37. Either way, it’s a fine accomplishment.

Chipotle, fun for all socioeconomic brackets

The kid and I just dined with Brad Johnson at the semi-mexican Southlake dining establishment also known as Chipotle. And by “dined with” I obviously mean just happened to be in the same room at the same time.

This is the same restaurant that I also had the pleasure of gawking at Mark Teixiera as he inhaled a 4lb burrito last season, post-trade. I guess you could call it 76092’s version of The Ivy.

Open-source code rescues again

It took all of about 24 hours for there to be fixes for the unwarranted iGoogle update. Thank goodness. If you’re using FireFox - and you should be - you would just need to install the Greasemonkey plugin and the newly minted Rockmaster’s iGoogle Sidebar Collapse Greasemonkey script.

If you’re still using Internet Explorer (shame on you), you’re stuck with what you’ve got due to the nature of non open-source code.

Let me know if you give it a shot and have no luck, I can probably walk you through it pretty easily.
