Quirky News

Ebay falsely stops an auctioneer from selling highway sign replicas. I've seen the guy advertise on Fark for a couple of months, so it was a surprise to see something I had seen before pop up in totally unrelated news!

Mowers

08.28.2003

I found out that my excitement with the leaking lawn mower gas tank isn't localized to just me. Murray has issued a recall of over 90,000 mowers dues to 950 reports of leaking tanks. What does this mean to me? Well, first of all it should be getting fixed for free! Second of all, there's now a shortage of the damn tanks, so there's no telling when it'll get fixed!

Meanwhile, the grass still grows.....

Camtoon <strike>Tue</strike> Wednesday

08.27.2003

Only a day late, but the 50th camtoon celebration is up.

One of the things I learned while making this one was how to make a pie chart in Excel. I hardly ever use Excel, but thanks to the internet I can find out what ever I need to know instead of going out and flipping through a book at Barnes & Noble.

Deadlines Deadlines Deadlines

08.26.2003

I've got a project at work that's got a deadline of Wednesday. Maybe it can be pushed off until Friday.

Either way, I don't think it's going to make it.

That's my poor excuse for lack of a camtoon today. If it helps any, the next scheduled camtoon is to be the 50th episode spectacular!

Stoopid deadlines.

Bwaa Haa Haa Haa!

After complaining about everything Friday, I found the worst website ever! Why is it the worst website ever?

• It's for a web design company (they're linked to from the Nissan Dealership page (those bastards!).
• It doesn't work. It looks like a template from Microsoft, because a lot of the links try to go to Microsoft.
• It's been this way for almost a year, according to the last modified date on the page.

Now I'm continuing to feel much better about myself.
