Valentines Day is really one of the more useless holidays on the calendar. Every year it sneaks up on millions of unsuspecting men who have forgotten that it’s approaching.
So men… what would you do to make sure you never had to find a way to celebrate this holiday ever again? Gentlemen, I am here to rescue you.
Langage Farms has a number of cows that need names. If you e-mail them with the name of your lover and the reason why you think one of their cows should be named after her, you will be entered into a draw. The first ten names chosen will win a gift certificate at the store, and have a cow named in their honour.
The cow will receive an ear tag with her name on it, and your sweetheart will receive a photo of the cow.
Langage intends to repeat the promotion on Mother’s Day.
I hurled like a cuckoo clock last night — every hour ON the hour — and don’t feel much better today.
I did find this video though, that I thought was very informative. I’m not ready to resort to my mother’s home remedy just yet and was interested to find it’s not on the list.
C’mon you guys. Are you really going to vote for this guy?
Obama or Clinton (take your pick) could embarrass this guy right out of the country on election day.
It’s pretty sad when this is the best the Republican can come up with when the Democrats have powerhouse candidates coming from all angles. Oh how the tables have turned.
The only way I can see the Republicans taking the White House is if McCain and Huckabee find a way to reconcile their differences and run on the same ticket. Conversely though (even though its less likely to happen) if Obama and Clinton did the same thing… it would be the biggest Republican embarrassment in American history.
Firstly, to those who are wondering, I am once again connected to the Internet, and mostly moved.
Secondly, to those who were wondering why the site has been so slow for the past three or four weeks, that was stupidity on my part. The problem has been rectumfied. We shall not speak of it again, except to say: Yes Justin… you were right.
Sorry, I can’t find the video, I closed the browser window long ago, but I found the most brilliant idea on Youtube that I wanted to share with what few other Mac users I have on this site.
Up until now one of my greatest sources of frustration with The Dock is that there isn’t enough real estate on it. This is balanced by the fact that I rarely use three-quarters of the applications I have, but when I need to access them I need to access them, and going through the Finder to the Applications folder is time-consuming.
I had previously experimented with putting groups of applications in their own stacks on the Dock, but this Australian fellow on YouTube hit the nail right on the head. Why not just drag the whole freaking Applications folder right to the dock? It makes perfect sense. I can put the “most used” applications on the Dock, and the stuff I use once or twice or three times a month is still within two-clicks reach.
We all know that “the name you want” is never available on Yahoo or Gmail or Hotmail. The hallmark of those services seems to be e-mail addresses with huge strings of numbers and weird spellings in them.But what if you could have yourfirstname@ instead? Well, you probably could if the domain was @poweredbycoffee.net.
I had a (very) short chat with my e-mail provider this morning. And the number of e-mail accounts I can host has been bumped to a ridiculously high number I will probably never use. Those of you who have used Gmail will be right at home on this system because it’s identical. You even have the option of using POP3 or IMAP if you wish. Google’s phenomenal spam filtering is also included.
I like to think I have a somewhat cool domain name, even if it’s a little on the long side. Trust me, your fingers get used to it after a while.
