Here is a three question quiz to see if you’ve got what it takes to be my former insurance agent. **Trick Question 1 – A Word Problem** Randy has five insurance policies. Randy informs his insurance agent that he will not be renewing his policies when they expire. How many policies should the insurance agent […]
According to [Jing](http://www.jingproject.com/), Simple is Beautiful. How about making your “free” software even simpler by **NOT** requiring me to sign up for an account to use it. Or, at least tell me, before I take the time to do it, that setting up an account _on an **unrelated** service_ is required. Don’t waste your time. […]
I keep reading in the news that [Yahoo!][1] is continuing to lose ground to [Google][2]. I can understand why. Today when my wife called to find showtimes for a theater, I remembered that [Yahoo! Movies][3] always used to have good information. So I filtered on her location, by the movie she wanted to see, and […]

While the [Citibank][0] Credit Card website does have a few good features (like being able to download PDFs of your statements), it does have one thing that I absolutely hate. Enough so that I complained about it to their customer service: > The “Select a Payment Date” portion of making an online payment is misleading […]
There was a new edict dropped in my work e-mail mailbox this morning: > As part of our strategy to reduce costs and protect the environment, all color Xerox multi-function devices at the site are now set by default to print in black and white. If we limit our printing to only those documents we […]
[This guy][2] is mad because his car (he bought used) is out of warranty and GM wants to charge him to fix it. I would try to point out the logical flaws in his argument, but he doesn’t provide any logic. The customer is not always right and you sir, are an idiot. _Response to […]
Microsoft Word has a way of making disk space magically disappear: 1. Start with an `89 KB` Word Document. 2. Insert an object, a `3675 KB` Visio Document. 3. End with a `22,380 KB` Word Document. Amazing!
