People Don’t Walk In The Suburbs

By , June 20th, 2006

As I mentioned earlier, I’ve decided to pass on getting a car for now which means when I go out, I either walk or ride my bike. I took a short walk to the bank today and it is quite obvious that people don’t walk in the suburbs. This is a huge change since there [...]

I had my first experience with an electronic check today which was a bit different than I remember things. I went to pay for some things I was purchasing and decided to pay for them with a check. Normally, they take your check, place it in the cash drawer and you’re off with your stuff, [...]

Comcast Hair Pulling

By , June 14th, 2006

Comcast Internet access is driving me crazy because their “simple set-up” has been anything but thus far. I went to pick up the modem and other stuff from a nearby office yesterday and spent over an hour there as they tried to figure out my order from the call center (it seems that the call [...]
