http://www.ups.com/content/ca/en/shipping/cost/zones/customs_clearance.html I’m contemplating a printer purchase from the US, and as usual, the seller will only ship via UPS. This is a shame, for as any Canadian who has inadvertently had something shipped UPS knows, the shipping charges you were quoted always wind up being grossly underestimated. UPS likes to charge “brokerage fees” whenever it […]

http://www.foxstore.com/detail.html?item=2286&u=1149937995&fsid=274dea7c4de46d421c457218f7dced03 Being a big fan of DVD commentaries and movies in general, I resent the idea of “special edition” DVDs that are released long after the spartan first-release, but for a movie as good as Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid, I’m willing to make an exception…
Creating Passionate Users: REAL motivation posters
http://headrush.typepad.com/creating_passionate_users/2006/01/real_motivation.html A grudging thumbs-up – this article is not great, but the last line redeems the rest of the chaff. Our office is big on slogans, but short on follow up and follow through; we’re the perfect proof of this: Motivation–especially when it comes to a deep concern for the users–does not come from saying […]
The Green Head – Once Bitten Cookie Cutters
http://www.thegreenhead.com/cool-stuff/2005/11/once-bitten-cookie-cutter-ultimate.php I’m buying one of these to display prominently the next time I make cookies and really take bites of out them. Consider yourselves warned. Thanks to Kan for linking to it…
She Will Have Her Way – The Songs of Tim &Neil Finn Various Artists – Music CD – ABC Shop
http://shop.abc.net.au/browse/product.asp?productid=367386 Stumbled across this the other day, which was a nice surprise. I think Crowded House flew under a lot of radars, which is a shame – well-written pop is a rare commodity. Now, here’s a collection of Antipodean songstresses giving their take on the Neil Finn catalog. I’m not so sure I like the […]

This eBay auction offers an unusual bonus: Hand singed by Al Hirschfeld. Perhaps this is a litho from his black(ened) period?
Oct 7, 2005 Squeezing Americans Dry Richard Benson 321gold . . . Inc
http://www.321gold.com/editorials/benson/benson100705.html I appreciate the concern this writer shows for Americans who are struggling, but as usual with most US fiscal situations, you’ve got to wonder if they’re still in the “giving a man a fish” mode, rather than “teaching a man to fish” . Worse yet, for consumers making credit card payments, the US Treasury […]

http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/9865068/site/newsweek/ I’ve quoted a part of this fantastic article here, but the real kicker is the last paragraph. If nothing else, humour me and read that. This has been the Bush pattern. Treasury Secretary Paul O’Neill presciently says a second tax cut is unaffordable if we want to fight in Iraq–he’s fired. Bush’s economic adviser […]
