Canceling AOL Isn’t Easy

They make it very difficult sometimes. Of course, I mentioned a while back how a guy managed to cancel it in 3 minutes, but I’m only linking back to that posting because some of the comments on that entry really show the intelligence level of some AOL folks.

I Now Have a Goal In Life

Since I will never have the running ability I once had that might have been able to get me to the Olympics, I’m supporting these guys in their wish to get pool and bowling in the Olympics. Then maybe I can qualify playing pool (but as Jon can attest, I need some practice).

The Election’s Going To The Dogs

You have to love the folks who are trying to capitalize on an election year (and figures it would be a Beaverton-based company):

VanDogh Creations announces Bush-BITES! and Kerry-Waffles — superior dog treats with a political twist.

Just when you thought all opinions had been voiced in this dizzying political battle, man’s best friend now has the opportunity to be heard. Has your dog been barking at the TV or shredding the morning paper? Perhaps Rover is trying to tell you that he thinks Bush-BITES! Maybe Fido thinks Kerry-Waffles?

The undecided dog can try both alternatives before settling on a party affiliation. No matter which side of the fence your pooch is on, these all-natural dog treats are sure to be a hit.

“Our goal is to give people a fun way to participate by letting their dogs do the talking,” said Chris Jones, the creator. “We found that by poking fun at both parties, we have been able to initiate some serious discussion without raising hackles.”

The products can be ordered here. Thanks Barney for the tip.

I Need One Of These For My Kids

Not only will it protect my keyboard, but it will get my baby comfortable with the computer (my 4 year old does fine on the computer). If I had a Mac, I’d install this software, too, so that my kids could pound around and not delete everything. Anybody know if a software like that exists for PCs?
