28 Nov 08 Black Friday
According to Wikipedia the term was coined fairly recently, but refers to the day after Thanksgiving, and serves as the unofficial start to the Christmas shopping season.
Myself, if I am working, which I often am, then that’s what I do! Otherwise, even if I have the day off, I avoid the stores if I can.
I dislike crowds, and all that pushing and shoving is not me at all. I also dislike having to stand in line for more than a few minutes. I’m very much an ‘in and out’ shopper once I do go to store.
I mostly shop online these days in any case, unless there is something I urgently need, or unless I want to get a ‘hands on’ look at a product first.
I’ll be the first to admit, I have no loyalty to any particular store, online outlet or brand. If I’m buying a bigger ticket item, I’ll take my time to carefully review the item I am after from a number of sources.
Right now, there isn’t anything I desperatly need, and I’m not one for spending money for the skae of it, even if I have it to spare. It’s not a bargain then, is it?
Today too, has seen a tragedy, that quite frankly didn’t surprise me, when a Long Island Wal-Mart worker was apparently trampled to death by hoardes of bargain hunters when he opened the doors of the store where he was working at 5.03 am this morning.

05 Mar 08 It Gets Busy Around Here
 So where have I been? It’s been quite busy here the last few days, even on the weekend. Something has to give sometimes, and as I spend all day in front of one of these beasts, sometimes, just sometimes, I have to kick back, and let it know who is master.
Yes, OK, so you are, oh wonderful box of bits, bytes, chips, nybbles, and silicon.
When you think back almost 40 years to when we landed on the moon, and the power of the computer in the lunar module, compared to what we have today…
Mind you, if Appolo had relied on Windows they’d have probably ended up on Mars or Venus instead. No, it’s ok, I won’t go off on an anti Microsoft rant today, although, I hear the latest in a whole pile of lame, buggy, insecure, non-compliant web browsers is about to hit the streets in beta form today… Internet Explorer 8. IE6 and 7 are still out there tormenting us web developers…. sigh.
The weather here today (yes, lets change the subject), is delightful for early March. I’ve got the doors wide open and fresh air through the whole condo.
It’s currently 66F outside and 77 in here. That suits me just fine for now, while I’m sitting here tickling my masters keys. Master? Don’t be silly! I could dismantle the network, sell the computers, and live quite happily without ever seeing one again. Of course I could! Couldn’t you?
