A few months back I wrote about my online ordering experience with Pizza Hut and how pleased I was with the entire process. Well, I figured it was time to give one of the other pizza big boys a shot. This time around it was Domino's. Once again, I thought the entire online ordering experience was a snap. I might even go as far to say that Domino's did a better job at upselling me on things such as breadsticks or Cinna Stix. Not that I needed any extra convincing to order the Cinna Stix. The one downside to ordering… Continue reading...
My son received a pretty cool Lego set for his birthday. He also received about 15 other gifts, including a couple more Lego sets, which made it difficult to keep track of them all. As any good 7 year old would do, my son managed to lose the building instructions to his new Lego set. Well, at least that's the story I'm sticking with. There's actually about a 20% chance that I or my wife threw them away when cleaning up after his birthday party. So there my son sat with a pile of Legos, the box they came in… Continue reading...

I almost always consider technology an improvement to my life. But sometimes it can be downright annoying. Take the Olympics for example. Because of the time difference between Indianapolis and Beijing, many of the events have already been completed before they air on the U.S. networks. 20 years ago, this wasn't a big deal. You just made sure you didn't watch the news so that you could pretend any event you were watching was actually live. Fast forward to 2008. In order to not get the results spoiled for any event I am interested in watching I have to ignore… Continue reading...
