Ice Cream Scooper Is Better Than Pooper Scooper

The lawyer job market has been the subject of much discussion lately. Sometimes, I am happy that I am old and not just starting out. However, there are always opportunities for those with legal training. Just get out there and do it. (Thanks to plusser, Preston Clark, for the link)

Parrot Sunday - Bahamas Parrots

I have visited North Abaco on several occasions; and, without question, the beaches of Abaco are the most beautiful in the world. The retreat of the Bahamas Parrot population to North Abaco and South Inagua is a cautionary tale. 

Samsung Gear S - Beauty Is In The Eye Of The Beholder

Samsung Gear S review | Android Central. I have been reading the Gear S reviews, and they are all over the ballpark. I suppose this is as to be expected, since the device creates a whole new category of wearable. I have lived with mine for a week, and, in my opinion, it is quite useful. It is a big thing; and, you better be secure in your geekiness to wear it in public. However, it is cool beyond belief, and it does everything you might ask it to. It is far more than a smartphone accessory, although it performs that task admirably. You can do anything on it that you can do on a smartphone; of course, the small screen makes some tasks, like typing on a tiny keyboard or browsing the web, much more efficient on the phone. But, if you want slick, competent tech on your wrist, and you have a leading edge mentality, and you appreciate the benefits of being able to know everything that is going on by glancing at your wrist, this is the watch for you. 

Black Friday - Do It From Your Chair

TigerDirect.com | Black Friday 2014 Deals and Retail Ad. I am a tech addict. I freely confess my weakness. But, I have managed to make it somewhat socially acceptable by blogging about it, and pretending to be an expert. However, while I enjoy shopping therapy from time to time in a brick and mortar store full of fun stuff, I really hate Black Friday. I hate seeing the worst in human nature; the grasping, acquisitive, rude, shoving, maelstrom of human greed in all its ugliness. So, I am happy to report that you needn't become one of the great unwashed. Stay at home, cozy in your chair, and fire up the web browser. There are plenty of bargains to be had, on all sorts of stuff. You have some delayed gratification, in that the stuff needs to be shipped to you; but, look at it this way: you have the joy of finding a bargain, which will be repeated when it arrives. Now, get out there and shop.

A Thanksgiving Message From Savannah

When  I got to the office this morning, after I explained to the birds that, in this country, we don't eat parrots; but, that a feathered relative known as the Turkey was not so fortunate, I expected Savannah to commiserate. However, Savannah instead insisted that I share a message from her and her flock. So here it is...

Happy Thanksgiving From The Parrots

How to Stuff your Parrot on Thanksgiving |. No, no, Nanette. I am not talking about putting stuffing in a parrot. Unless feeding it to the parrot counts. I will be spending part of the day calming my flock's nerves, and reassuring them that not all feathered species are on the menu. Since the last place anyone wants to be is in the way of SWMBO preparing a Thanksgiving meal, I will be watching football and trying to keep from eating anything until the last minute. We all have much to be thankful for; and, not being eaten is at the top of my list. If you have good health, be thankful. If you don't, be thankful for more time to enjoy life. If you aren't enjoying your time here, find a way. Thank you, God, for allowing me another day to be thankful.

Google Nexus 6 - Second Best SmartPhone On The Planet

Google Nexus 6 unboxing: cutting loose the colossus (Video) | Pocketnow. Okay, I am biased in favor of my new Galaxy Note 4, which is the best smartphone on the planet. However, some of you like the Nexus line, and the new Nexus 6 is the biggest phablet on the planet, with the latest version of Android, without fluff and junk. This one is the one I would have purchased if the Note 4 weren't available. I don't like not having a removable battery; but, it is still a great phone.
