Twitter, get some resources

A couple of weeks after I read about Facebook getting $$$ to buy 50,000 more servers, I found it amusing to see this image on Twitter:


Come on already, Twitter. Everyone can see your resources aren't sufficient. Get with the program and buy some servers already.

US City and State CSV File

I've seen requests for this type of file on a few forums. Well, I just happen to have a pretty large list of those cities and states at my disposal, so I'm posting it on HTMLMonitor.com for anyone to download. If you want any more data to go with it, just let me know. Otherwise, enjoy. US City and State CSV File

Wal-Mart's pricing is different online

Image
As I was browsing Wal-Mart.com for a monitor today, I noticed they had one for less than most of the other online sites I usually check out. I decided that since this wasn't an "Online Only" listing that I'd head over and pick one up. I didn't have much trouble finding it in the store (they don't have much selection, so it's easy to spot it), then I went to the checkout. I was grabbing the one below: I wasn't thinking about it much as I approached the register, but when the lady scanned the box and it came up as $192, I wasn't pleased. $22.12 extra just for shopping in the store?

It took me a few days to get through my RSS feeds to see that he had done it, so here goes. 5 things you (probably) didn't know about me. 1. I never finished college. Much like Jaan, I didn't finish. In fact, I took 2 semesters of Chemical Engineering from UNL right out of high school, didn't really take a 3rd, then went through most of the management training at Radio Shack before going off and really getting into computers. I took some classes at Metropolitan Community College for web stuff later, although I just ended up helping other students (and the teachers) most of the time. 2. I play tennis. I started in grade school, didn't take it as serious as I should have in high school, didn't play in college at all, and took some years off. Last year I started up again and now play a couple of nights per week on an organized league. 3. I've built ToolBarn.com and ToolPartsDirect.com mostly on my own. ...
