Friday
Around the world (or at least a good portion of the greater SLC Metro Area) in a daze.

But the evening was good. Friday night coffee with the usual suspects. I finally did some color work on the e-card-to-be. I should finish it tomorrow… God willing and the creek don’t rise. Coffee was followed up with dinner. And there was SportsCenter, and it was good. Selah.

Stray Toasters

  • I heard Little Drummer Boy/Peace on Earth by Bing and Bowie today. That’s my sign that it is officially the Christmas season. And, I’ll be in North Carolina in four days…
  • Utah drivers. ::: braincramp :::
  • My feelings about customer service are fairly well-known. Today, I had examples of:
    • Poor customer service (attitude)
    • Half-assed customer service (“We can’t handle this; but if you go to (this place), they can.” But NO explanation of “why” and the place that they sent us to was a subsidiary of this place.)
    • Good customer service. Actually, I’d even say that it was exceptional. (“Let me see if we can do this”… “Yes, we can”… Explanation of issues… AND… Suggestions of alternatives.)
  • Prismacolor pencils. (Thanks, !)
  • New Batman: The Animated Series and Batman Beyond DVD/videos to be released in March.
  • Gravis Multiplayer game pads for Linux
  • Dumpster-Diving for Your Identity

Namaste.
