Please don't Voicemail my Google Chat
Tue, 11/13/2007 - 02:05
Please oh please, no matter how much time you 'think' it will save both of us don't leave a voice message to me on Google Chat. I love to use Google products and sure I get excited when new features come out but it doesn't mean that you have to use all of them. There is a reason why I have and use chat both on my laptop, desktop and Blackberry. There is a reason I have dozens of email addresses and yes there is a reason I only have ONE phone. Read more »
Bionic Woman Needs to Work Out
Thu, 11/08/2007 - 23:22
Okay maybe it's just me but I thought the Bionic Woman was like bionically strong or something. But after watching a few shows I think her software has a glitch. I say a glitch because that is the only way that I can rationalize what I see on the screen. You see one minute she can kick in this huge metal door or bend steel but then she has to kick and punch the same bad guy like 20 times. Do you sense some discontinuity? Read more »
Guy Rule - Guys do like to shop
Sat, 11/03/2007 - 01:06
The problem is a miscomunication. Shopping to a man means an entirely different thing than shoppng for a girl. Sure we hear it all of the time, men hate to shop. But actually that is simlpy not true. Men love to shop. We adore shopping. We crave the textile feel of new things in our fingertips. Confussed? Read more »
Guy Rule - Flowers don't just magically appear
Sat, 11/03/2007 - 01:01
If you want flowers (an organic gift that typically costs over $50 and 'dies' about 5 days later) you better tell us and give some directions. Sure we can assume, based on cultural references and the overwhelming desire for our own 'personal favors', that you might want flowers but face it... its just not something that makes sense. They die. Dead, wilted masses of organic waste that get thrown out a few days after purchase. Read more »
Blame it on Canada - Fair Use becomes DRM
Tue, 10/30/2007 - 12:58
Since 1997 Canada has had a unique legal approach to Music and Movie copyrights. Called the Copyright Act, the law allows Canadians to do whatever they want with the content they possess. Possession is ownership so it does not matter where you obtained the material. Sound illegal? Well its not. In fact at the time it was considered a 'win' for the media sellers because rather than tax the content the law tases, or places a 'levy', on the blank media that people used to use for recording their content. Also known as a 'private copying levy'. Read more »
Guy Rule - Once doesn't mean always
Sat, 10/27/2007 - 00:57
Guy Rule - Just because we do something once doesn't mean we have to always do it. Yes we do like being nice. In fact it is nice to be nice, but just because one day we take the time to do the dishes or fold the laundry does not mean that we have to do it every day going forward. It takes away the 'specialness' of the nice act when it automatically becomes an expectation. Read more »
Hilton's HHonor Points and American Airlines travel
Fri, 04/06/2007 - 14:30
So I have an account with Hilton's HHonors reward system and I am a Platinum Flier with American Airlines. Hilton offers what they call a 'double dip' system where they will give you points for your hotel stay AND also put free air miles into your frequent flier account. They are partnered with just about every major airline so finding yours is no big deal. Read more »
Starwood Hotels - Flier status matching program
Wed, 03/28/2007 - 10:12
Starwood Hotels will match your Airline Flier status to Gold. You have to be a little pushy as this is supposed to be an offer from the Airline and not the Hotel. But that sounds impossible to me. Here are some copies of the emails so you can try this offer yourself.
Dear World's Greatest Guy,
Thank you for your email reply. I welcome this opportunity to assist you further.
Where is my room?

I recently stayed at a Hilton property, Squaw Peak Resort, in Phoenix. I was disappointed by some very basic issues that the local managment seemed carelessness to over look. Namely, how to offer directions for the huge location. Here is a copy of the letter I sent regarding the issue.
Squaw Peak Resort
