Thursday's Notes
  • Joe's personal computer took a dive this week. I've narrowed it down to the motherboard or processor. So, it appears that I'll be shopping for some components this weekend. The good news is that I've found the retailer: ZipZoomFly.com. They offer free 2nd day shipping and no sales tax!
  • The company where I work is opening a manufacturing plant in X'ian China. I tell you that because many of our employees have been spending a lot of time in China helping to "get it off the ground." One of the benefits is having access to products in China that are cheaper than the US. Today, I purchased a North Face Mountain Light Gore-Tex jacket with a fleece liner that retails in the US for about $350. I gave $50 for it! Remember when you used to visit foreign countries and bought Chiclets and a fake Rolex? Those days are over. Bring on the golf clubs and flat-panel TVs!
  • Whole bean Jamaica Blue Mountain coffee is touted as the best coffee in the world. Has anyone sampled it? I understand it's about $28 for 16 ounces. Though, it'll be tough to beat Starbuck's Breakfast Blend.
  • Is Sudoku crack for logicians?
