Haha, you’ve got to be kidding me. A pet carrier in front of your belly? “Order now! Now you too can be at the receiving end of jokes all over your community!”

I mean, this thing is probably imitating a baby sling, but unlike babies, animals can actually walk.

Which reminds me of a pet peeve of mine (how punny, I know): doggie strollers. Chances are, if you take your dog on walks more than, say, twice a year, and unless your dog is disabled or very, very old, it will easily be able to walk further than you. Even if not: Stop being so egocentric to take your dog on trips that exceed its stamina. Depriving a dog of the pleasure of running around and sniffing to its heart’s content just so you can treat it like a baby is just sad.

So what’s up with that?

Unlike 100 days ago, today’s mail-in rebate (of a whopping 5 dollars) came with as this ancient technology known as a “check”. On the upside, my bank let me use one of these elaborate workarounds for incredibly outdated systems: Scanning and uploading the check to the website.

If it worked out, rebate plus gas savings should add up to almost two coffees! Woah!

Those Caltrain Baby Bullet trains look mighty sleek there — if they run. After the recent budget woes threatened to keep most of these “babies” in the depot, some recently-found funding will at least keep them running for another year. Then what? Only time will tell

I am proud to report this is how I cut the plants in my “yard” — though, really only the kinds of plants that can easily survive on their owns. The ones that need daily care have a tendency to die quickly under my “supervision” (and it’s not even summer yet!)… so, sadly, the “green thumb” is sadly not a characteristic I can claim for myself.

At times, when colleagues are on vacation, it happens that one cannot stand the sheer emptiness of their seat any longer. At such times, certain components floating (literally) around the office can be used to make a life-size, completely realistic and legit copy of said colleague. Dr. Frankenstein would be nothing short of proud.

When I saw these motorcycle cops approaching, I half expected someone important to follow along in a limo — but no. Just a bunch of “San Jose’s finest” merrlily riding along, shamelessly grinching the innocent bystanders out of a possible celebrity sighting .

Some call it French toast. For others, it’s the world’s best-hidden Easter eggs. You be the judge.

Happy Easter!

As I’ve mentioned before, I’m a home improvement store nerd Today we had something to buy there again, so we took the opportunity to window shop for tiles we’re not going to buy
