Just One Club Card – Combine All Of Your Club Cards

I don’t have a ton of cards.  And apparently Blockbuster and Hollywood Video won’t work.  But this is still a good idea.  I HATE the value cards and all the freaking extra space in my wallet/keychain/car they take up.  This solves that.  And I might just scan my Blockbuster and Hollywood Video bar codes and photoshop them onto the card.

Monty, get ready

TOKYOMANGO: A Pedometer For Dogs

I’m all over this for my boy Monty.  What’s funny (okay, not really) is that the pic on the site if a mini Schnauzer, which is what Monty is.  Though Monty is not cropped at all (not counting his balls).  Monty’s on the smaller side of the acceptable mini schnauzer range (though apparently he’s HUGE compared to dogs in South Korea).  Since he’s small and my apt is big, I always just figured he got enough exercise.  And it’s not like he’s fat (I’m talking about Fatwick here, I’d post a pic if I had one).  But I want this to make sure he’s moving around enough.  Because I’m a bad owner and don’t take him for long leisurely walks.  I used to take him running 3 miles 5 days a week, but he got TOO skinny and didn’t like doing it during the hot humid Texas summers.

On the other hand, Monty is NOT getting this.  It’s called the Super Catcher and it attaches via a harness to your dog’s ass and catches his poop so you don’t have to scoop it yourself.

You can blame corporate America

AppleInsider | Apple to impose 802.11n unlocking fee on Intel Mac owners

I’m no SarOx expert or anything.  In fact, I only know the most basic things about the law.  But this is absolute crap.  And if Apple has to charge a nominal fee, why $5?  Why not $1?  So ridiculous.  I blame Enron, WorldCom, etc. for all those problems which led to Sarbannes-Oxley.
