I’ve been having a love/hate relationship with my BMW lately. It may seem like a trivial issue, but for me it has turned into an obsessive frustration, that I finally had to put to rest today. When I purchased the car, I bought the iPhone USB Adapter, which is defined… Read More ""BMW's iPhone / iPod Blunder." Or, "We All Could Use an Extra Six Inches.""

"Google, Are You Geo-Targeting My Search?" Or, "Maybe Only People In California Buy Dog Stuff."
I’ve come to notice something very interesting on one of my eCommerce stores and I’m beginning to wonder if this is just a coincidence or something that can be attributed to Google. MyOutwardHound.com is a small, niche store that primarily sells the Outward Hound line of dog gear that includes… Read More ""Google, Are You Geo-Targeting My Search?"

"The Pellican Brief (Visit)." Or, "Mommy, what the hell is that?"
While shutterbugs in south Florida trying to snap photos of visiting celebs on Super Bowl Sunday, a large pellican enjoyed a few minutes of stardom as he made a unexpected appearance on the pool deck at the Boca Raton Resort & Club‘s beach club. After spending a minute in the… Read More ""The Pellican Brief (Visit)." Or, "Mommy, what the hell is that?""
"Bimbos & Monkeys." Or, "Interesting Sights of the Day."
On my way to the Lehigh Valley International Airport today, I got behind a truck bearing a name that immediately brought a smile to my face. In November I wrote about business names after seeing a furniture store named “Badcock & More.” In the same post, I talked about the… Read More ""Bimbos & Monkeys."

"It's A Great Piece of Hardware." Or, "Not My Thoughts on the iPad."
It takes a lot to get me excited over a new product. In fact, today is the first time I tried the “new” Domino’s pizza. Loved the marketing campaign where Domino’s admitted their product was bad and needed to reinvent themselves. Made me want to give it a try. The… Read More ""It's A Great Piece of Hardware."

"I Was Watching Dancing with the Stars." Or, "The Private Life of Jack and Diane."
I’m at Starbucks on 45th Street. I’m at McDonalds on Main Avenue. I’m at the Rental Car Center at LAX. These are examples of Tweets and Facebook posts from dedicated users who like to share their every second of being with their friends and fans. I used to be one… Read More ""I Was Watching Dancing with the Stars." Or, "The Private Life of Jack and Diane.""
"Lessons From A Valet." Or, "Always Check the Expiration Date."
I’m sitting in a hotel room in Jacksonville, FL going through my email listening to the person in the room next to me cough like someone who smokes a six-pack of Lucky Strikes a day. At the same time, I realize that the TV in my room has been on… Read More ""Lessons From A Valet." Or, "Always Check the Expiration Date.""
"Cadbury Mini Eggs Are My Weakness." Or, "1,080 Ounces of Heaven."
I’m not a chocolate fan. Now, now… I didn’t say I “hate” chocolate, or I “don’t like” chocolate… I’m just not a fan. Maybe my disdain for this confection comes from being exposed to such cheap drug-store brands like Russell-Stover or Whitman’s as a young lad. Or maybe it had… Read More ""Cadbury Mini Eggs Are My Weakness." Or, "1,080 Ounces of Heaven.""
"Movin' On Up." Or, "I Wonder How A. J. & Bobby Look in Orange Jumpsuits."
Nobody could say they didn’t see this one coming! The Citizens Voice newspaper is reporting that Lackawanna County Commissioner A. J. Munchak and former commissioner Robert “Bobby” Cordaro are just about ready to get papers in the mail from the feds. Munchak was interviewed by the feds Wednesday afternoon and… Read More ""Movin' On Up." Or, "I Wonder How A. J. & Bobby Look in Orange Jumpsuits.""
Another Black Eye for Luzerne County Justice
I can’t think up one of my two-title-titles for this post. I can’t even muster up enough words to express my angst for the justice system in Luzerne County. Shortly after 6pm this evening, The Times Leader and Citizens Voice newspapers broke yet another store of a judge gone bad.… Read More "Another Black Eye for Luzerne County Justice"
