Apple just introduced new laptops this past week.  But unfortunately they just aren’t there yet.  Foolishly Apple is  omitting some things that really should be there for people. And sometimes I think they must be looking at some competitors and deciding purposely not do what others are doing even if those ideas are good. To […]

It was that time again for me.  Renew my plates.  I used to go downtown and do it.  Then I remembered that even though the lady at the desk and the ladies at the window are usually nice (when I’m prepared), everything else in between, the metered parking downtown on shitty one-way streets, the long […]

A couple people at work were talking about the actor Charlie Sheen, because this past week he did a radio interview where he basically states his stance on the 911 attacks. This stance being that there are too many unanswered questions. Buildings came down too fast perhaps.

In the news again is a vote about renovating the stadiums here in Kansas City. I’ve been living with this crap my whole life, being from St. Louis and all the stadium BS that has gone on there. Now here in KC, they want to spend 700 million or more on a stadium overhaul which […]
