From wikipedia : A jobsworth is a person who uses his or her job description in a deliberately obstructive way, "a minor factotum whose only status comes from enforcing otherwise petty regulations". The term comes from the phrase "I can't

Don't believe anything you read today. I know better, but I still forgot the date and believed Daniel had sold his company . His post was very well done, but I still think my old April Fool's Joke was better. Back in 2005 it was more believable

LOL, the best use yet for our awesome shared family calendar(s): the answer to the age-old question.. "What's for dinner, Mom?" Tara created a new shared calendar called Menu and added "all-day" appointments (just because they

My daughter thinks it's funny when I talk about Gmail - she says it sounds like "super hero mail". I am of course ok with that. I've been using it more and more recently. I've been sucking in my personal email to Gmail for a month

Last summer, prompted by a neighbor who has the UPS guy at her front door even more than we do, my wife decided to get into "selling stuff online". It's not just beanie babies on eBay apparently. There's a lot to learn about - wholesalers,

It's the last day before the Christmas break, and an old colleague sent me a invite to linkup on spock.com - looks like another Plaxo knockoff at first glance. Having never visited this site before I thought I'd search for myself. This is what

I've posted about the ups and downs of Blockbuster before. This morning Mike points us to the latest pundit who says that Blockbuster will die within 2 years . I can't refute his findings, and if true it's pretty sad. Everyone needs competition,

I've gone full circle. I uninstalled Google Desktop Search back in August 2006 and installed the Windows version. Yesterday, I reversed that decision. I thought that GDS' problem with archived email was bad; what a joke that was. WDS was far,
