What Is That Smell?

Wednesday, March 19th, 2008

I went away for a week and when I returned my office smelled funny. Something died in here funny. Now since I do not leave food laying around in there and no one else uses the office I am concerned. The office is a mess and I hope as I clean it out I’ll find what ever it is. But at the same time I am worried about what it might me. You can’t just close off and abandon a room though.

I’ll let you know what if anything I find because I am sure you are all dyeing to know.

Deals That Don’t Add Value

Thursday, January 31st, 2008

I have been looking at this card shuffler online. It’s a little pricey at around $500 but compared to the casino grade ones which go for around $17,000 it looks like a good deal. Yes, you can get cheap card shufflers for around $10-15 but they’re really not worth it. Trust me is is pretty much easier to shuffle by hand than use one of them. I’ve got one of those an it’s too much trouble to use.

So anyway, the $500 shuffler comes with added value! That’s right! You guessed it – it comes with two decks of cards. Now who in their right mind would spend $500 for a card shuffler and not already have a good collection of playing cards? I guess there is an off chance that someone might get one of these and not have a deck of cards to try it with but really that is a stretch.

I’ve gotten things (a carrying case with chips in it for example) that came with *bonus* two decks of playing cards before and those cards get put right to the side. Bah, big bonus.

I think it is about the appearance of giving something extra combined with perhaps some advertising for the company that makes the cards. Anyone have any other examples?

The Car For Me

Generally I don’t care much about cars but I think I want one of these. Or maybe one of these. Dean Kamen is getting a Tesla BTW. Why am I not surprised? :-)
