Link of the Day [12.05.08]

I haven’t started shopping for the holiday season. It seems we’ve made a pack to only by the kids a present, and also to buy siblings, but none for anyone else. That’s like a really sad Christmas. This economy is making us all into Scrooges. I have to strike some people from my list. Maybe you?

I’m probably gonna use the new Amazon iPhone app to do my Christmas shopping. Or maybe not as I hope to get all I need before the end of next week.

Quote of the Day [12.04.08]

“Marley was dead: to begin with. There is no doubt whatever about that. The register of his burial was signed by the clergyman, the clerk, the undertaker, and the chief mourner. Scrooge signed it: and Scrooge’s name was good upon ’Change, for anything he chose to put his hand to. Old Marley was as dead as a door-nail.”

A Christmas Carol, Charles Dickens

My cousin, Bob, has gone car free. He's riding a bike. That's the way
to commute. Who needs the hassle of owning a car? Who wants to save
money? Be more healthy? Fossile fuels are for sucks.Someone in Hawaii is pushing for electric cars. That's an even crazier
idea. He should be pushing for more bikes. I can't imagine a more
perfect place for a cycle culture. Sunny and warm every day. The
islands are pretty small: you can take a bus around Oahu, so the
distances are not very far. You can always hop off and go for a swim if
you're sweating too much. A more casual attitude. Frick. That's
pretty awesome now that I come to think about it.Hmm. This link of the day post went off on a tangent. I guess it
happens when you're scrambling for posts in the morning over coffee.http://www.nytimes.com/2008/12/03/technology/start-ups/03hawaii.html?par
