The below is an email I sent to Creative through their website. I would encourage anyone who has purchased a Creative product that contains a similar cancer warning in the manual to send them a similar communication.
I just purchased a Creative Zen V Plus, and was shocked to see the warning about cancer from touching the cables because they contain some lead. Why in... Read More
I spent this weekend in the company of my girlfriend for the most part. We saw Lisa Gerrard at the Moore on Thursday night, which was a good show. Ran into a former coworker and snowboard friend at the show too. Her seat was right behind mine, so we got caught up a little before the show started. Cool to see her again.
So on a trip to the san juans a few weeks back, we had stopped to eat at this little boardwalk cafe on Orcas island while we waited for the ferry, after looking at all the other little shops and finding nothing appetizing, including this place.
See, this was April 1st. It turned out the ferry schedule I had expired on March 31, so all... Read More
Work has been hectic. I'll be going in tomorrow, mostly because I asked other people to volunteer to, and so I can buy them lunch and snacks. Definitely want to get out of this mode of crunch time at the end of projects, but it's a gradual process to change old patterns so deeply rooted in... Read More
No, figure she still did, approached it platonically. She tells me as we are parting she doesn't, which explained some of the mutual odd reactions to parts of the conversation
I've been friends with this girl, we'll call here Anna, for a while. Tried the casual dating thing briefly, didn't work. Stayed friends, and foolishly continued to develop very strong feelings for her, and finally figure out we just aren't relationship compatible by any stretch. Finally blows up in my head this past weekend, emotional breakdown. I decide to stay away from Anna for a... Read More
The topic of Global Warming has for a while now held religious zealot status, on both ends of the spectrum. People still seem to want to argue about whether humans are the cause of it, and how big of an impact we are actually having. Whatever, I don't care. It's irrelevant to debate that for the most part. It seems... Read More
I know I owe the IRS money this year on my taxes. To add insult to injury, I have to fill in 12 different forms and worksheets to figure out exactly how much I owe them. Even more enjoyable, every time I look back over the forms, there's something else I missed that makes me do the whole damn thing over again, and 30 minutes... Read More
I think I must be hitting some kind of midlife crisis or something, because I really want one of these. Mostly because it's slightly less unaffordable than one of these.
The reality is I'll probably be buying one of these, which is better for me anyway.
I got a promotion and accompanying raise today. Completely unexpected. They rarely do promotions and raises outside of the annual mid-year reviews, so I'm pretty stoked to get this now.
I had some B&J's Chunky Monkey to celebrate
Oh, and all you other single folks in Seattle should definitely check out The Stranger's Valentine's Bash, cause it's damn good unwholesome fun!
