Reading Time: < 1 minSometimes little things can make a big difference.

The experience was great . […]

Micro Center is heading downhill
Reading Time: 2 minI’ve always been a pretty big fan of Micro Center. Their prices are decent, and their selection is excellent — especially for small parts that places like Best Buy would never carry.

Did you want your fries to be warm?
Reading Time: < 1 minMy wife and I received free tickets to a concert a few weeks back, so we got a babysitter and went out on a nice little date. We weren’t hungry, but thought a stop at Steak ‘n Shake might be fun. We ordered a couple shakes, a coke, and an order of cheese fries to […]

The sidebar can include quick-search boxes for sites you often search. As often as I’m searching our church site, I thought it’d be great […]
Banzai Wild Waves Water Park is apparently a huge rip-off
Reading Time: < 1 minThe picture to the right says it all. The consumerist has a post today showing the actual size of the product vs. the image shown on the box. I know that all of those things are exaggerated a little bit, but this is crazy! We buy these kinds of things from time to time, but […]
How will “Chrome” affect your church site?
Reading Time: < 1 minAs you may have heard, Google is releasing a new browser tomorrow called Chrome. Based on what’s been revealed so far, it should be excellent, though we won’t know for sure until we get our hands on it.

Why is Home Depot closing stores?
Reading Time: 2 minI had an interesting experience at Home Depot this evening — it was like the good old days again.
