Hot Car Cold Cure
If you are wrestling with a head cold, I stumbled across something that helped. I was stuck in traffic on a cold rainy day and accidently turned on the car’s defroster too high. The air temperature in the car must have gotten to about a hundred degrees. After a while it cleared out my sinuses and I felt great. Of course I probably contributed to air pollution but at least I could smell the smog.
Now I have to figure out if a gallon of gasoline is cheaper than a gallon of Nyquil.

Jan. 15, 2008 Macworld
What a day! It’s not over yet either. The crowds were huge! The staff bungled registration leaving people standing outside in the cold for far too long. Inside, Steve Jobs gave one of the longer keynotes with Randy Newman wrapping it up with very politcal song. Basically there a lots of new Apple products and services that seem to work together. Oh, if you work for a video store, it is time to update your resume. Read the rest of this entry »
