October 29, 2006 Sales Reps for Printers Are Out of Control
Sales Reps for Printers Are Out of Control. “The reality is that almost every printer sales rep is a low-rung, soul-sucking mouth-breather who will sell his left testicle just to take you out to lunch to talk about their ‘state-of-the-art’ printing facilities.”

October 23, 2006 Happy Birthday iPod
In this introduction video to the iPod, Jonathon Ive (Apple’s product design genius) says, “Our goal was to design the very, very best MP3 player we could … to design something that could become an icon — and we’ll see whether or not that’s the case or not.”
Yeah, they knew what they were doing. Happy Birthday, iPod. You’ve become an icon.

October 19, 2006 Fourbucks Desktop
After the recent (and subtle) price increase at Starbucks, my drink now comes to $3.90. Factor in the occasional toffee almond bar, and I’m spending an average of $5 every time I have a coffee craving in the middle of the day. What’s worse, lately, since we’ve run out of coffee for my barista machine at home1, I’ve been visiting the big SB in the mornings as well.
So it’s with an aching wallet and bruised checking account that I whipped up this desktop picture — designed to sit as a reminder that, yes, gasoline for your body costs more than gasoline for your car.
At the risk of lawsuit and/or not-friendliness from the coffee corp itself, I now offer it to you, the world. Why? Because I care.
Enjoy.

Gurode accepts Haynesworth’s apology but still doesn’t understand. That’s right kids. You can’t stomp on someone’s head with football cleats and expect them to understand your reasons. (Gurode is a great guy for not pressing charges or filing a lawsuit. Cowboy fans have a right to be proud.)
