White Mountain Creamery (5/5)
While driving up Nicholson Lane late a few nights ago, I had a late evening ice cream craving. I remembered a great place just over the hill and to the right. I made the move. It was gone. Not closed. Empty. Out of business!
A sad day in ice cream history for sure. (via Shawn H. on Yelp)

Taipei Tokyo Cafe 1 (3/5)
As a sushi review, only three stars. Convenience would be four. The “Chinese” food? four stars also, but I almost always get the sushi. It’s not the best sushi. They mass make the rolls as the lunch hour progresses because of the half price lunch roll deal (best sushi deal in town). It’s a step above grocery store sushi (Whole Foods) but nothing like Uni, Tako or Sushi Ko. No, it’s not great. The place itself is pretty ghetto also. But the price and the location make it a top pick among many for lunch. I’ve occasionally had dinner there. They have a few newer, much nicer locations but they all seem very different and this is the only one I have visited regularly (because of the convenience of the location for me). If it’s lunchtime during the week and you are on a budget, but want sushi, this is the only place and you will be happy. (via Shawn H. on Yelp)

Dry Clean Expo (4/5)
You can tell these people care about what they’re doing. That’s important to me when people are taking care of the clothes I wear. I’ve been using Dry Clean Expo almost exclusively for almost five years now. The few times I have tried other cleaners that seemed more convenient have all been short lived due to poor service or lack of concern over damaged or improperly cleaned items.
I vote with my wallet and my vote goes to Dry Clean Expo!
Now, if you need repairs, they are a little expensive. But I need to break my lazy habits and use the needle and thread once in a while anyway!

James Randi’s Encyclopedia Online
James Randi’s Encyclopedia Online
James Randi is a total Internet God! He has placed his entire Encyclopedia of Claims, Frauds and Hoaxes online! You can see it here:
Anyone who has ever enjoyed the stories of con men who convinced people that they were supernatural would love this encyclopedia. Of course, if you would rather own it, you can still purchase it here:
As a child, I loved to read stories about ghosts and escape artists. It doesn’t take someone very long before they start recognizing the name of James Randi in that field. He is the ultimate skeptic. Enjoy!

The Penny Pyramid
We dare you to build a larger and better penny pyramid than this one…
We have all suffered from this affliction at one point or another. The subconscious act of simply dumping one pennies into a jar or other black hole type containers! In this site you will find economic reasons, constructive fun, and charitable options in ridding this uncontrollable urge. The “Penny Pyramid Project” is also here to promote and educate that the penny continues to be a very important denomination and that there are ways to responsibly collect, build, and donate this commonly hoarded coin.

Behavior Bosses Hate Most
I’m way behind in posting a link to this but David Chase’s article on The 10 Employee Behaviors that Bosses Hate Most is very, very, good. Any one of these can drive you right up the wall. [Yes, bosses are far from perfect but rest assured that their craziness will be covered in another post.]
