Great Car Charger for Ipod use in car and at home

I bought this ipod charger recently, and I've found it very useful in both my car and at my house. I can plug my ipod into it while I'm driving, and it charges my ipod up. Then, when I get to my house or office, I can take the charger with me and use it on any standard household electrical outlet.

There are a bunch of other cool ipod cases, chargers, remotes, and more here.

Pretty Interesting Basic Shopping Cart Design

Talk about Niche marketing, these guys (or gals) do it well.

Real basic design, but seems to be pretty functional.
I certainly like the cart progress buttons at the top.

Much better than,

You ever have chunks of time missing, where you can't remember what happened?

Man, I can't remember what I did for the last few hours. I looked at when I posted the previous post, and it says 3:32 PM. I just posted it, and looked at my cellphone. Something like 2 and 2/3 hours have passed since I posted. What happened to all that time? Am I losing my mind?

Or, are my blogger.com time settings off. When I have time I'll check.

habitual use of commas

I, as you know, have a problem using commas too frequently, as a way of enclosing thoughts in parentheticals. But, I typically just do it on accident, since I'm writing as I type, with very little editing. Hey, I don't get paid to type. Actually, you should probably get paid to read this, since it is wasting your time.

Can you apply the patriot act to those applying the patriot act. Er, rather do any laws apply to them?

Newsflash (uh, not really)

Justice: FBI misused Patriot Act powers

"Attorney General Alberto Gonzales, who oversees the FBI, described the problems cited in the report as unacceptable and left open the possibility of criminal charges. He ordered further investigation."- From the Yahoo news Article here

Uh, surely we got something in our bag of tricks to secretly monitor the activities of those who are secretly monitoring the activities of us.

Whatever......just as long as the soylent green keeps coming.

Also, on a lighter note, this next sentence from the article sux from an informational perspective,

"Fine's annual review is required by Congress, over the objections of the Bush administration."

1. Who exactly objected. Better to state, over the objection of X.
where X = something that could be confirmed.

Stating one specific person's objection is more informative than broadly mentioning the objections of many. I suggest the following as a better sentence, "Fine's annual review is required by Congress, over the objection of Gonzales (or whomever made the most strenous objection)." Fewer letters and more informative, and the blame isn't with some intangible "Administration."
Or, just this,
"Fine's annual review is required by Congress, to which the Bush Administration objects."
(see how I did that?)


2. Why are the objections pertinent? Are we to infer that Congress overruled the objection, or that in some way there was a battle amongst ideas. The Executive branch has no authority over Congress, and objections are irrelevent. Actually, the president not having ANY power to directly influence these types of situations is the core of our political system. Good thing the Pres doesn't have line item veto power, else the audit provision wouldn't be there.

3. If you have two items in a list you are suppossed to have three, but I really don't. So,
I'll close with, is the article any worse off with out this sentence in it?
"Fine's annual review is required by Congress, over the objections of the Bush administration."

Still Day One

It is in the nature of the scorpion to sting the frog, so I post again, testing features. By the way, buy stuff from this place, or just tell me what sucks about the site. Your dreams will multiply, either way.

Day One

Day One....Set up a blogger account. Add me to the others, I am now a sheep. My sheep voice is loud though, so watch out.
