Oh, smacked in the noggin with a 2x4 wrapped in velvet. Yeah, that's what it felt like.

Not if you are in the biz. It's more like 'can we predict when users will clean their ovens and give them coupons?' than 'I think therefore I should kill all humans'.

'I think therefore I should kill all humans'.

That's sometimes the logic that goes through my head when I get up in the morning.

Coupons are the first step, to lull us into complacence. Then one morning the Keurig stabs you.

We discovered there's a Hulu channel that's nothing but Bob Ross Joy of Painting episodes, and now that's all I want to do -- watch Bob Ross make happy little trees all day. It's so soothing.

First the machines lull us into passivity with their Bob Ross back catalog, and then they stab us.

Our wings are not tired.

Quick question: my son and GF are running up to Canada today exploring. Should they get some Canadian folding currency or just use their US bank credit/debit cards?

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

If they need cash, they should get it from a local ATM anyway, so the only thing I'd suggest is telling their banks they are going.

Oh, crap. This just made me realize I never renewed my passport.

Shit. Sam Shepard passed away. I don't want to tell TCG.

My bank has a handy page where I could fill out the dates I'd be in Las Vegas.

And I meant to get a passport this year. Not too late!
