Although it’s been hard staying up and I pay for it in the mornngs, it’s been fun watching U2 on Letterman this week, and I’m getting an idea on how they will perform their new material in concert.
Yup, I’m an oddball U2 fan that prefers the newer stuff more than the older stuff.
Who knew that Phil Collins is a big fan of all things the Alamo? Article
I often eat breakfast and lunch with headphones on while I listen to the radio or something online. Usually I wear those wrap around headphones. They basically fit around the back of the head, so it doesn’t mess up my hair, and I don’t have to actually place anything in my ear. I’m not much for sound quality as I mainly listen to AM radio, and I don’t need to cancel any outside noise since I work in a fairly quiet area. Well, recently those headphones had a short, so I purchased a new pair of ear buds headphones, something like these that actually fit very snugly in the ear. I found these headphones makes eating quite hard as the sound of chewing is amplified.
I’ve been really wanting a particular mouse that normally sells for about $100, but I have a hard time justifying buying a mouse for that price. For my line of work, this particular mouse would come in handy for the applications I have to work with – I’m all about efficiency. So you can imagine my delight when I found a mouse on Overstock.com that was selling for $43, I price I can somewhat justify for a mouse. The mouse came in the mail yesterday, and they sent me the wrong one. The one they sent me didn’t have a thumb scroll. Blerg. So I called Overstock and told the rep that I was sent the wrong mouse and he provided me with the procedures on how or return and get a refund. I then asked him how could I go about getting the product I actually ordered, that is, perform an exchange. He basically told me that wasn’t an option, but did tell me I could try to purchase the product again to see if the correct item ships.
