HOBO failure
Holy crap, has HOBO International failed us this time. I literally did a triple take a few weeks ago when I stumbled upon this display at Nordstrom — trust me, the photo doesn’t do it justice, because these bags will SCAR YOUR RETINAE.

Piece of Mind
So there’s this stupid little head shop in Fremont and Lake City called Piece of Mind. Now you MIGHT think that’s a cute little pun, but let’s examine things closer.

And when all was said and done and downloaded and… Continue reading Will automatic Desktop Shortcuts EVER die?

Redmond, Capitol of Innovation
I was running errands in Redmond the other day on my lunch break, and I drove by what has to be the most pathetically-named city park in the history of pathetically-named city parks: (To be fair, there are indeed grass lawns throughout this park.)
