// May 8th, 2008 // No Comments » // Cycling, Sad But True

It’s stories like this (and the fact there have been four bicycle/car accidents in Raleigh-Durham area in the last couple weeks) that makes Amanda nervous every time I go for a bike ride.

Guy's Xbox & Other Gadgets Stolen, Gets Harrassed on Xbox Live

// March 23rd, 2008 // No Comments » // Sad But True

So this is sad. A guy’s house gets broken into and his Xbox 360, Powerbook. etc. gets stolen. The police are absolutely worthless, but the guy does some legwork on his own.

Wow, You’re a Moron!

Time Warner's Pricing Paradox

// January 27th, 2008 // No Comments » // Internet / Web, Sad But True, Tech

Time Warner Road Runner High Speed OnlineIs there really anyone out there (besides Time Warner) who thinks this is a step in the right direction? As we get more and more streaming and large file download services from the likes of TiVo, Amazon, Netflix and Apple (iTunes – both rentals and purchases of standard and high def) among others, Time Warner’s paying for the bandwidth you use will only result in castration of these services and mass exodus away from Time Warner’s services. I really hope their idea dies a horrible and quick death.

Shoddy / Leaning Fence Homeowner Associations are setup for neighborhoods and subdivisions to protect property values. It keeps morons without any taste from doing stupid things on their property, like never mowing their grass, or having a cell phone tower in their backyard.

You pay a fee (usually monthly or annually) to pay for the administration of the HOA by a third party. But man, is our current one ever fucking worthless!

A few months ago, we had our first meeting with the HOA rep. Dude was totally unprepared and unfamiliar with our community. He had been handed the community from someone else in their company. People asked some basic questions and he didn’t have answers and didn’t communicate that he’d get answers in any timely fashion (he never really did).

Oh man, this is funny, but so sad and true at the same time. I wish we had half the days off that they do. Plus, I wish America were paying my gas bill.
