When Good Design is Too Good

James Dyson, the guy who failed 5000 times before coming up with his Advanced Dyson Cyclone™ technology, maybe a genius, or a carpet investor in disguise. The wife and I just picked up the DC17 and I must say, it's the best vacuum I have ever used, and being a former Kirby door to door salesman (yeah that sucked) I would know. My only beef, it's almost too powerful. I've managed to rip up yards of thread in my carpet and rugs get almost completely sucked up in the thing! You do not want to get close to the curtains with these babies, watch out for loose clothing, and keep an eye out for your cats tails.

Duck on a Surfboard

A compilation with Owen using Crayola's new Surge Markers and Paper, color pencil and crayon. Remember the days when an 8 color box of crayons and a pad of construction paper was all the rage and you could get both for about 3 ducks, I mean bucks!

Disc Golf Night @ Portland Pirates 11/29 7:00 pm

From the fellas at 10DOWN, nice disc!

"Disc Golf Night" at the Portland Pirates game on the Sat after Thanksgiving, 11/29 @ 7:00 pm. This is huge for disc golf! This is our chance to introduce nearly 5000 people to our sport. We'll have an information table in the lobby as you walk in, we've made t-shirts which are to be handed out in some fashion. We've made a video that will be played on the scoreboard and there will be some sort of demonstration on the ice during the first intermission.

The Pirates people have reserved a section for golfers, friends, and family and reduced tix to $13. It's really important that we have strong support in our section so I would love to have you there to make some noise. Unfortunately, you can't just go to the box office and get the special price or the correct section so if you're interested in attending, shoot me an e-mail and I'll grab tix for you.

Email Ben Dunlap for more info.

3G in Maine?

I just checked out at&t's coverage viewer and finally it appears as though 3G is now available. Only problem is the single is so weak it my iphone does not switch to the more robust 3G. I love my iphone but have been paying extra for 3G and it doesn't work, even when there site says it should. Come on at&t, what's the dealio?
