Another New Year Resolution: Write More

One of my resolutions for this year is to write more. Not just write more posts, but write by hand more.  Since I have a job where I type on the computer all day, my penmanship has been going downhill ever since college.  I recently bought a fountain pen to inspire me to write by [...]

Sigg Recall = New Bottles

I’m not one for excess packaging. Usually, the fewer pieces of cardboard or plastic I have to throw out, the better. But I was impressed with the packaging my new Sigg bottles came in. I had sent some old bottles (with the old BPA lining) in even though it was after the end date of [...]

OCD Tool: PackageTrackr

I don’t know about you, but whenever I order anything online, I have to track its shipping status every hour.  Now we all got along fine before all this hi-tech package tracking came about, but now that it’s here, I can’t stop looking at it.  It’s as if the package will get lost if I [...]
