I’ve been using craigslist to find various items for my new abode and came across the following post in the furniture section. It was removed pretty promptly, but I’ll duplicate it here for everyone’s amusement.
Shabby Chic Means Crap
Guest what every body, shabby chic means your junk is junkier than it should be. That is [...]
I moved into a new apartment this weekend which is my official excuse for the light posting over the last week. Some shopping was done to make the space more functional and a number of these items came with mailable product registration cards. The one that stands out as the most obnoxious is [...]

How is it that you cannot find work [...]
The purchase of a laptop bag or manpurse or whatever you like to call it is an important decision. I live and work out of these bags, so it’s essential I invest in the right one. The Jack Spade Field Bag ended up winning with the right mix of healthy aesthetics, functionality and [...]
It would seem Washington Mutual has seen fit to tell it’s employees how to vote in a company-wide email. This is disturbing to say the least. I believe a company should encourage it’s employees to get registered and be a part of the democratic process, but telling them how to vote is simply [...]
