Their customer service is as good as you have ever heard, and probably better. I didn’t use this site until this year, and now have no hesitation in recommending it to anyone within listening distance (apart from the wife, obviously, as she has enough shoes already ;-)

“the Pentagon is unable to fully account for $8.7bn of funds it withdrew between 2004 and 2007, and of that amount it “could not provide documentation to substantiate how it spent $2.6bn””

- Sounds just like my check book. If I had of realized they were trying to get rid of so much money, I could have offered my services….

Islands - XX

Think I might have posted this before, but can’t remember. Brain is in a Monday morning woke up too early and couldn’t get back to sleep cloud. Anyway, the song is worth double posting anyway if I did.

I realize the AppleTV gets a bit of a hard time in the press, but I use mine (I’ve got two) loads, especially at the weekends. I don’t really bother much with the TV and movie bit - music and photos to the two main tvs in the house is what I need, and it works great.

I haven’t written much on here lately. Things have been a little crazy the last few weeks, specifically work-wise. I started travelling again for the first time since the little’un was born, and this is my second week in a row I’m away. I’m sure it’ll get a little easier as time goes on, but it’s pretty tough. At least this weeks trip is just a couple of nights.

In other news, I would highly recommend not submitting the same abstract to multiple industry magazines thinking you won’t get accepted by them all. I’m now on article number 2 of 3 on Spatial Business Intelligence for Utilities, and although I could probably wax elegantly for hours on end on the subject with a drink or two in my hand, writing articles with the same title that are different is pretty tough. That and combined with the fact my writing skills have dissipated at a rapid rate since my essay writing days in college, I’ve had a few sleepless nights in the run up to my first draft being due (which is tomorrow, and this post is me procrastinating again at 9.55pm Eastern….). Better get back to it.

thedailywhat:

Culture Shock of the Day: Vaseline India has launched a “skin-lightening” Facebook app aimed at men, which invites users to “transform your face on Facebook with Vaseline Men.”

From AFP:

In 2005, Indian cosmetics giant Emani launched the first skin-whitening cream for men, called “Fair and Handsome”, 27 years after the first cream for women.

Since then a half dozen foreign brands have piled into the market for men, including Garnier, L’Oreal and Nivea, which promote the seemingly magical lightening qualities of their products in ubiquitous advertising.

In 2009, a poll of nearly 12,000 people by online dating site Shaadi.com, revealed that skin tone was considered the most important criteria when choosing a partner in three northern Indian states.
