So instead of paying for good employees at Home Depot that will actually help people and not be jerks (which is why I primarily shop at Lowes locally), they’ve decided to create TV Show where Andrew Dan-Jumbo (yes, the guy from “While You Were Out”) shows up to help them shop and then helps them at their house.

Men Have An Unhealthy Obsession With Crotches
And now there’s science to prove it (excerpted from a much larger eyetracking study that is a good read for anybody who designs content-rich web sites).
Ladies: Need Help With Your NCAA Bracket?
For those folks who know nothing about basketball (though I doubt too many people who are in the pool would consider themselves experts), these folks have released a bracket for ladies which features pictures of the star players as well as pictures of their mascots so you can base your decisions on that. It’s all a crap shoot anyway, so this method is about as good as any.
In Case You Need More Reasons To Avoid Best Buy…
I’ve already made clear my feelings for Best Buy, but in case you missed the news, Best Buy confirms that it does indeed have a secret employee/store-only Web site that has higher prices than their public Web site so they don’t have to price match. But on the bright side, there are other ways you can save a ton of money at many of the big-name electronics retailers.
I’d also recommend avoiding getting help from the Best Buy “Geek Squad.” I’ve already looked at them as not that bright, but after reading this great series on Consumerist from current and former Geek Squad-ers, you realize that it’s gone in the tank since it was sold to Best Buy years ago, and shows no sign of getting better.

The Tournament Field’s Been Set…
(And again, I’m still looking for prize donations, if anybody has anything they want to throw into the pot.)
Cheap Plug
If you’re not busy Sunday afternoon or Monday evening, I’ll be here and would love to see you.
Parent Of The Year Nominee
After stabbing his wife multiple times, he handed the knife to his two-year-old son and said “now you stab mommy.”
Even more disturbing, the wife was 17, meaning she had the kid at 15. I’m sure that was a marriage of love.
Anybody Else Find It Odd…
…that the Redmond Spokesman (the newspaper in Redmond that’s owned by Bulletin-parent Western Communications) has to post news and commentary on a blogspot.com blog and their actual domain sits “under construction“? Are they just taking matters into their own hands because they don’t know how to change the content at redmondspokesman.com, are they waiting for WesCom to setup their online publishing software like the Bulletin uses, or are we just not even supposed to know about the site (I found it via a google search and have since added it to BendBlogs)?
“Thanks CBS For Turning My Son Gay!”
Wow. Just wow.
