How many of you still have a VCR? If it's gone to that great scrap heap in the sky, how many of you still have old VCR tapes?

I love it when someone we've never heard of has a birthday and Google makes a specialized front page on their website inspired by that person.

The Flash-Matic was the name of  the world’s first wireless TV remote control, and would change the way people watched TV. The television business lost one of its technological giants yesterday, as Eugene Polley died at the age of 96.

I think, maybe, I make gift-giving a little too tough on myself, sometimes, because I like to come up with just the right gift that probably never even occurred to the recipient, yet is the perfect thing. Thinking outside the "gift" box, I guess you could say.

This happens all the time. But how? I guess all the e-mail addresses of all the people in the world are in some great big bingo caller's ball somewhere. And every once in a while, they draw mine out. But I've got to hand it to whomever it is. At least he/she/it is clever.

I was in Walgreen's while ago. I heard Katy Perry's song, "Part of Me," three times--THREE times--during a 15 minute trip. For starters, I don't even care for Katy Perry. But, what if I did? That's a pretty good question.

Okay, so it's the off-season. I know. Hey, believe it or not, I'm a little grateful. I love college hoops when we're in the thick of the season. But I also need to have time to do things that need to be done. Can't happen when there's a game on. Still and all, this is my third favorite mobile app...
