But at least I'm not alone.

Apparently Forbes has assembled a list of America's Ten Most Miserable Cities after computing a "Misery Index" for 150 "metropolitan areas." I am shocked (shocked!) (except not at all) to see that Michigan boasts two of the ten cities: Flint (#3) and Detroit (#1). Only California placed more cities on the list, with three, but none are as miserable ( Read more... )

The other day I downloaded the Adblock Plus addon for Firefox, and it is pretty spectacular. There are no ads anywhere when I surf the internet anymore ( Read more... )

One of my favorite websites had an article yesterday about a flavor of Pepsi that is only available in Japan: Ice Cucumber Pepsi. I find this hilariously disgusting, as the editors over at The Consumerist do apparently as well, filing it under their "ew" tag.

Well, business-related jobs were four of my top ten on the Strong Interest Inventory...

LaSalle Bank, which used to be Standard Federal Bank, which bought Michigan National Bank, has now been purchased by Bank of America, which, to be honest, sort of scares me, if only because my favorite consumer websites are always going on and on about how much ( Read more... )

So apparently it's a difficult thing to list all 50 states in 10 minutes? Haha, well, maybe kind of. It took me seven minutes and eight seconds to get all fifty, while it only took me about four minutes to get forty-nine of 'em. Oops. And then I realize that the one I forgot is one of the eight states I've actually been to. Oops some more ( Read more... )

Two things.

This ridiculously optimistic article on the fate of Veronica Mars is nifty. Also, the fact that Veronica Mars will be available for viewing on cwtv.com is a dual-edged blade. I mean, awesome, but I already waste too much time on the internet ( Read more... )
