Truth Hits Everybody

The truth is that Comcast sucks.

I have, as you know, had my own issues and I had said, "From what I can tell the answer is that no matter what your problem is NO ONE CAN HELP YOU. It is like their corporate model is to be actively unhelpful." And apparently they suck no matter who you are. Check out Dave Barry's report about trying to get his TiVo hooked up to his cable. He says, "Bomcast needs to stop apologizing for the inconvenience, and start being less inconvenient."

I found a cool little site called learning-styles-online. I took their free assessment and discovered that my top score (15 out of 20) was for the Solitary Learning Style, followed by the Verbal Learning Style (13 out of 20).

How do you learn best?

Hidden Danger

You Are a Very Green Driver



Saving the planet is probably pretty important to you.

If not, saving some money definitely is!

You don't use much gas when you drive, and you only drive when necessary.

Only if everyone else showed so much restraint!

Cheese Art: The Movement

Art is a collaboration between God and the artist, and the less the artist does the better. - Andre Gide

For the 6,000 or so years since cheese was invented, people have continually come up with new and interesting things to do with it...

But for all the myriad ways there are to eat cheese, I must say I'm surprised by a recent trend in art: using cheese as a material for sculpture. - A Cheese A Day
