Word Up! on You Tube

Somebody posted a review of my iPhone game, Word Up!, on YouTube.

Push Button For McCain

McCain apparently has a pervasive campaign where he’s managed to somehow get his name on tons of street-crossing button thingies in Sunnyvale, California.

Look closely at the picture below. “McCain” appears in two places.

“Push Button For McCain” these things read and if pushing these buttons does indeed register votes for McCain, then forget about ACORN - this would be an unprecedented level of voter fraud.

The California Academy of Sciences

Could be more aptly named “The San Francisco Museum of Crowds and Waiting”.

I’ve been here for an hour and a half and have so far only had a $35 lunch for two, waited in several lines (several for lunch and currently in one for a rainforest thingy), found out the planetarium is sold out for the rest of the day, and wrote a cranky blog post on my iPhone while waiting in line.

The Hollywood Principle

No, not this one.

Republicans have to stop saying that Hollywood is the worst thing in America - until they can stop saying that Ronald Reagan is the best thing that ever happened to America.

Hand dryer of power

I love it when a hand dryer creates waves in the skin on the back of my hands.

Zerorez

Yesterday, we had Zerorez come out and clean the carpet in our living room/dining room, office, and stairs. I had heard their commercials on KGO-AM-810 (Gene Burns does their spots often) and we were intrigued by their purported zero-residue cleaning method.

Everything looks very clean. We are especially happy that they got out a bunch of stains in the office that seem to have come from the casters on our office chair (today, we went to Staples and bought a chairmat to hopefully prevent that in the future).

They told us they could not clean an orange stain in the corner of the living room and I am not surprised. That came from me going a bit overboard a few months back with that spray can foam insulation stuff. I was trying to seal some little gaps that I thought were a little drafty and I underestimated the ability of this foam to expand an incredible amount and then attach itself to carpet fibers and then achieve diamond-like hardness. At the time, I tried various carpet cleaners and scrubbed until my arms were tired - I tried just about everything short of a flame thrower I think. So while it would’ve been nice if Zerorez were able to steam that bitch out, I’m not too surprised that they couldn’t and I give them credit for fessing up to it in the debriefing.

So we were pretty pleased with Zerorez.
