A recent Ask Yahoo question was, “Is using a turn signal while changing lanes the law or just common courtesy?

I’ve made an interesting discovery. Lots of the free web stats providers use the same software on the backend. I’ve used 4 different ones and they all looked the same upon logging in. The problem is that they are very unreliable. One of them changed to a fee service, the others [...]

I woke up at the leisurely hour of 12:30pm and had a filling pancake breakfast so I would have enough energy to go mountain biking with my roommate. As we were about to leave I discovered a voice mail on my cell phone which said that my CBR was all ready to go [...]

I think I’ve got things working how I want them to be. Now I just have some things I want to add. I got the title for my CBRF3 today, but it’s still in the seller’s name. Apparently the bank didn’t transfer it like he asked them to. I went for [...]
