Pa55w0rd5

Let me tell you about something that really bugs me: changing passwords. I really dislike it when "the man" makes me change my password. They say it is for security, I say it is so that they can stay in control. That way when I forget my new password I have to go back to them and ask them for a new one. They like that, I know they do, that is why they have me change my password. It obviously isn't for security. Because keeping things secure wouldn't require me to write down my password.
Now I actually do not write down my passwords... yet. The reason is because I rotate between four major and a fifth "trash" password. But that pattern is going to have to stop because today when I had to change my password I could not use my old password for my new password (hey it's worth a shot) or any of my last 24 (!!!) passwords. That is ridiculous, uncalled for, and as it has been said before, frankly that dog will not hunt.

IT guys you have been warned, let me keep my passwords that I remember and do not give out, or else I will be forced to remove the space bar from every computer that you reign with your iron fist of "security".

Colgate 360 -the toothbrush Jesus must have used

Now I do not often find dental hygiene as a reason for a blog post, but then again I have only had my teeth cleaner from the gods for only a couple of days. Of what do I speak of? Well the Colgate 360 of course. I received it for Christmas in my stocking and despite its outer appearance of just a normal toothbrush, it was a gift that only Santa* could have bestowed onto me.
Why is this specific bush for the teeth so good? Well for one it cleans the teeth in about a third of the time of a normal toothbrush, really, it does. And even though the toothbrush packs a punch in brushing power it does not feel like a plastic hotdog in your mouth, it is quite nimble, and very ergonomically designed. Finally the makers at Colgate have thrown in a special gift, a tongue cleaner on the back.
Let me tell you, if you are in the market to buy a new toothbrush, take a look at the Colgate 360, you too will find it a reason to celebrate it in blog post form.

Lunch at Target



I was shopping around town all day today and so I didn't get a chance to eat until later. I finally grabbed a late lunch at a Super Target. For less than $9 I got a very good Italian Sandwich, a large bag of honey mustard pretzels that I am still munching on now, and a four pack of pomegranate Izze to drink. It was a good lunch.
