Link of the Day [9.26.2014]

On my trips out to Wisconsin, I bring home a block of cheese or two. The first time was two years ago. I bought the cheese at the airport in Milwaukee. This year on the trips up I bought cheese at this store. At the airport in Green Bay, they shake me down thinking this cheese is a block of C4. In reality, this cheese is the bomb. Pardon me while I go make a grilled cheese sandwich with 7 year old sharp cheddar.

Your Cart Is Empty

it would help

Received an email from Zappos this morning that they had 1 pair of shoes that I wanted in stock. So I clicked the link to purchase. When I put it into my shopping cart, it said that they did not have it in stock any more. Yet, it still said that there was a pair in my size left. Ha!

So here they are mocking me. Making me want to reach into my iPad and straggle them. Come on. If it’s there it’s there. But don’t tell me it is when it isn’t. I mean you’re computer could’ve stopped and told me there was none left before I tried to add it to the cart.

Computers can calculate a lot of things.

I keep visiting online umbrella shops looking for a nice one. Most likely, I’ve already posted a link about umbrellas. Today’s link has some real cool umbrellas for a somewhat expensive yet decent price: expensive because an umbrella costing over a hundred dollars is ridiculous and decent because there are even more expensive ones out there. These are relatively good. I’m hoping that they are. I may buy one.

Why do I want an umbrella?

Bring on the rain!

Joining Derek Lee, Mark Reynolds, and JJ Hardy in Camden Yards this upcoming baseball season is BrowserMetrics, your humble narrator. I'm just as excited for the upcoming season as the other guys. I just made the commitment by re-upping my season tickets. I'm almost in the same spot, but now 2 rows closer.Whaa?! I thought I wanted to be further back in order to catch more foul balls. But then they told me that I could sit two rows closer and all those plans went out the window. Maybe, sitting closer to the ball person will help me increase my chances of receiving a loose ball here and there. Or maybe Nick Markakis can throw one my way. Now how does this change my predicament of needing someone to come with? And how about when it is three or four people? Darn, I'm wondering if I can keep up as well…Any takers on games?

Thanks for all the input to my upgrade question. I got plenty of responses, all good and helpful.

The order of options went as follows: 1) new laptop 2) iPad 3) iPhone.

We’re gonna go with the laptop. It upgrades her to the 2010s and positions her for the future of computing. Later maybe an iPad is in the future. The iPhone would be a step too far for her. She barely uses her phone already.

I can’t wait for this new machine.
