Friday night I finished work on my latest website… I linked to it from all my other sites but never got around to announcing it here on the blog. So here it is:
College Logo Watches, as you might guess from the name, sells watches featuring the logos of major colleges and universities… about 100 of them total. They have watches in all sizes and styles, from cheap plastic kids’ watches to beautiful executive models.
There’s a new blogger in town… check out Buck’s Blog. Buck lives in Cordova and works Downtown, and started a new blog recently. I’m especially proud of his blog because he took a lot of advice from my How to start a blog series of articles. Looking forward to keeping up with Buck via his blog in the future.
I found a fun new toy to play with recently. For a while now, I’ve had a widget called Earthquake Watch installed on my Google homepage:
I check it every day to keep up with earthquakes around the world. However, recently I clicked on the + and – buttons in the upper left corner, and realized what I had – it’s a miniature version of Google Maps, right there on my homepage! So I’ve had fun the past week zooming in on different parts of the world. This morning I’ve been zooming in on Kamchatka, which is the peninsula at the far northeastern end of Russia. Looks like there are plenty of volcanoes on the peninsula, and you can zoom in pretty close on them. Pretty interesting stuff. Fun to play with when you get bored at work.
I think the Procter & Gamble company is going a bit overboard with some of their commercials. This weekend I was watching the Olympics, and one of those Charmin commercials came on with the big bear and the little bear. The little bear had apparently used inferior-grade toilet paper, and as a result the big bear had to wipe dingleberries off its butt. Did we really need to see that? We get it, Charmin is superior toilet paper, we really don’t need the visual demonstration. Too bad they can’t bring Mr. Whipple back from the dead – now those were some great commercials.
All right. Time to head to work. Tonight the Rapscallions dominate trivia at the Saucer, 7 PM.
