- My Twitter experiment is over.
- SisterGeeding is driving to NYC to start a new chapter in her life in a U-Haul. That should be a fun road trip, and if gas prices weren’t so darn high, WifeGeeding and I would take another road trip.
- I don’t think Megan Henderson of KDFW is aging very well.
- I find it interesting that Jayne Mansfield studied physics and drama at SMU. I bet the physics majors couldn’t be happier having a lady like that in class.
- A very unflattering picture of Madonna.
- Since I created a contact page more people have been contacting me. I get some intersting questions like how much money do I make with this website (I almost break even) and a few business propositions.
- Sometimes I wish fast food places would post what the people in front of me in the drive-through have ordered. I was in the drive-through at What-A-Burger Saturday night and the Suburban in front of me at the window didn’t move for about ten minutes which made wonder what the heck did they order?
- I slept past 10:30 a.m. on Saturday – that hasn’t happened in a very long time.
- I emailed my congressman about a particular issue and a week later in the mailbox I received a generic letter from him thanking me for my concern but it was over a different issue.
- WifeGeeding cleaned the pantry – there were a lot of items past the expiration date.

With Product Purchase, TiVo users can click over to Amazon on the TV screen using their remote control and purchase items discussed on a certain TV show.
Want a few of Oprah’s favorite things? Intrigued by a book mentioned on The Colbert Report? Click over to TiVo’s Universal Swivel Search function, find the items, and purchase them directly.
The service launches Tuesday and is available on broadband-connected Series 2, Series 3, and TiVo HD DVRs.
It will launch in conjunction with four specific TV shows: the Oprah Winfrey Show; The Colbert Report; The Ellen DeGeneres Show; and Burn Notice. But if a “product is seen or advertised on any TV show or network, and sold by Amazon.com it can be merchandised to viewers through TiVo,” Evan Young, director of broadband services for TiVo, said in a statement.
