I’d like to introduce Cookie!

Cookie is a 2 year old female and she is full of spunk. Our incumbent pug Winston is not sure what to make of interloper…

As luck would have it our furnace died on Friday night leaving us with no heat. I called a heating tech and he promptly condemned our 20 year old furnace because of corrosion around the heat exchanger that could potentially leak deadly
carbon monoxide into the house… Goody.

We are having a new furnace installed on Monday but until then its sweater and long johns time, this morning it was only 11C inside the house with a small spppaaaccceee hheeeaatteerr rruunniinngg aallll nniigghhtt iiittss sttiiill ffffrrreeezzziiiinnnngg

SnackShotz Dog Treat Launcher

Bonding with your dog is best done with food and play.

SnackShotz combines both. It launches proprietary dog biscuit discs across the room for your pup to retrieve.

See it it action (Windows Media) SnackShotz.com

Or you could just flick regular treats at your dog but what fun would that be?

D.I.Y. Dubya Talk

Dubya is not known to be the sharpest tool in the shed, being famous the world over for his verbal gaffes that will forever be his hallmark as the most retarded unqualified leader of the free world.

www.bushspeech.org makes full use of Dubya’s limited diction allowing you to arrange his words into fun little compositions.

It’s a riot. Gawd help us all and Gawd bless. www.bushspeech.org

Google Search Appliance Goodness

Like a ray of sunshine on a grey winter day, two bright yellow and very heavy Google search appliances finally arrived at our office just begging to be installed in our server farm.

Made from unobtainium and hermetically sealed for your protection, Google has practically welded the case shut to prevent any reverse engineering tampering.

They do brighten up the rack space quite nicely I must say.

Thanks Andre!

Ballpark Hot Dog Rotisserie

Now you can prepare yummy nitrate tubes at home just like they do at Wrigley field.

Hot on the heels of the Egg’n Muffin toaster comes the Ballpark Hot Dog Rotisserie.

For really authentic Ballpark taste the manufacturer recommends that you keep the hot dogs on the rotisserie for 30 days or more before you bite into one.

Yummy!

Happy New Year!

Man, I wish I knew about this yesterday…

7 steps to avoid a hangover:

1. Avoid alcohol. Of course, you probably wouldn’t be reading this if you had decided to avoid it completely. Just realize that excessive drinking of alcohol is what causes most hangovers. The next steps assume that you are planning on a night of drinking.
2. Eat a good dinner before you go out. Also, drink a glass or two of milk. The food will absorb some of the alcohol you are about to drink, and the milk will line your stomach, creating a protective layer.
3. Drink a glass of water after every few alcoholic drinks. Alcohol dehydrates your body–this causes the headaches and other aches you feel during a hangover.
4. Know your limits. Avoid getting into buying rounds among your friends, as this will just encourage you to drink more. Instead, just buy your own drinks at your own pace, or agree to a certain budget with your companions.
5. Drink another glass or two of water when you return home, and, if possible, have something else to eat. Again, the food absorbs the alcohol, and the water replaces that which the alcohol caused you to lose.
6. Take a multivitamin or liver salts before bed to replace the vitamins and minerals lost as a result of drinking alcohol. If you ate a good meal before going out, this step may be unnecessary. But better safe than sorry.
7. Take two aspirins before going to bed. This will eliminate the hangover headache in the morning. Be sure to take aspirin and not acetaminophen (Tylenol) or ibuprofen (Motrin) as they can react with the alcohol to cause liver and/or kidney problems.

Happy 2006! We wish you all health, wealth and eternal happiness!
