I’m seeking someone who knows Excel for a very important project for a very special person — and I don’t mean simple formulas, I need someone who’s very familiar with combo boxes, VLOOKUP, HLOOKUP, INDEX, MATCH, INDIRECT and all those functions in order to build an interface to easily sort through many records. After many [...]

Kids can be pretty cruel when it comes to namecalling their overweight peers such as “High Cholesterol Guy” and “Morbidly Obese Dude” — but uhh… yeah, I mean seriously — if you let your kid get to be 254 lbs, you’re really asking for it. This kid is 7 years old. SEVEN YEARS OLD.

This past weekend I saw another preview for the movie “Premonition” with Sandra Bullock, the “Groundhog Day” thriller-mystery thing. Movie trailers in the 70s were about giving you a taste without giving too much away. The trailer I saw gave away the ENTIRE EFFING MOVIE.
Obviously, it’s given that she wakes up one morning and [...]

Times Select, the paid subscription of the NYTimes is available for FREE to anyone with an “edu” email address (only applies to students and teachers) — if you’re gonna try to cheat the system and have an “alumni.yourschool.edu” email address, don’t even bother — I tried it.

Top Golf is a one-of-a-kind driving range located just a couple miles down the [...]
