Can't read this...does this help any?


I'm at work...working and I stumble upon a website that has an area where you can increase the size of the text if you're semi-blind. Small problem, if you can't read the text on the page how are you ever going to be able to find the "text enlarger" when it's smaller than the text on the page? Can't read this...does this help?

Random Thoughts...

Here's just a couple of things I noticed on the way home from work:

1. Just because you buy really nice wheels for your car doesn't make your beat up '98 Blazer cool.

2. Why do all the piece of crap, junker cars have the "You Suck at Driving", etc. bumper stickers. I saw one today that looked like it had caused a few accidents of its own.

That's it...I said a couple.

Invisible

Just a word of warning. Don't ever ride with me in my car. I've been close to getting into about 3 accidents in the past week. None of which were by any fault of my own. People have turned in front of me on 3 different occasions. All of which I had to lock up my brakes to avoid hitting them. The most recent was last night head home from work. I'm cruising along at 50 mph on a 50 mph road (freshly coated with loose gravel by the way) and some dumb teenage girl pulls out in front of me in a big white dodge (I know ironic isn't it...dodge) truck. The idiotic thing is that instead of going, "Oh, shoot I just turned in front of this guy I better step on the gas to make sure I get out of the way", she slammed on her brakes. So now she's stopped in the road directly in front of me. Luckily after sliding about 30 ft I stopped a few feet from the side of her truck. I wanted to jump out and bust her window in. I've never had to lock up my brakes before this past week. Apparently someone painted my car with invisible paint during the night. BEWARE!!!

I Got the Last One!!!

I'm a gadget geek. Anyone that knows me knows that. I got the first iPhone and absolutely loved it. The new one came out on the 11th and I wasn't going to get one, but listen to my reasoning: The new iPhone is faster, better looking, and...well...it's newer. It also only cost me $300 (as opposed to the $500 I spent on the first one). Well the thing is the older iPhone is still selling for about $500 on eBay. So I get to make $200 and get a newer, faster phone. Is that crazy of me? I got up at about 5:30 AM, stood in line for about 3 hours, and got one. They came out and asked people which phone they were going to get to try and gauge where the "direct fulfill" orders would start. I was right on the line. The guy told me that as long as no one changed their mind in front of me I'd probably get what I wanted. The store only got 10 16gb white, 10 16gb black, and 20 8gb black phones. They were only letting 1 person in per sales person and then locking the door. One person would leave, they'd unlock the door then let the next person in and lock the door behind them. I finally got to the front of the line and followed the sales person to their computer. There was a girl walking around with the phones in her arms dispensing them as needed. I could see one white box in the stack so when the sales person asked me what I wanted I pointed and she said, "you got the last one". I about went through the roof I was so happy. I not only got the last 16gb white iPhone, I got the last 16gb iPhone. I felt kinda bad because the guy behind me was apparently there a few hours before me but went out to breakfast...you snooze, you lose I guess. I've never waited in line for anything before, but I got to tell you it was pretty fun. Getting to know complete strangers, having them pretty much cheer for you when they found out I got the phone that I wanted. Good times.
