Don't Back Down

The Danger of Early Advertising »

I've seen loads of commercials recently for Diet Cherry Vanilla Dr. Pepper (as well as the regular version). I have to say that I'm intrigued. It looks quite good. I'm even tempted to try the diet version, though I really don't drink diet drinks. I just want to taste it. Yet we can't find it!

We've been to Bi-Lo, Food Lion and Wal-Mart (actually a couple of Wal-Marts, but not just for this product), and there is nothing! That's just wrong. They ought to have a disclaimer saying you can't find it. Now, when I'm actually running out to find this beverage, I can't get it. Pretty soon (perhaps already), I'm going to get tired of it and just stop looking.

New Category for Gadgets »

It was bugging me that I was lumping entries about my various gadgets in with just a bunch of other links. I know very well that it probably didn't bother anyone else, but I'm anal that way and you'll just need to deal with it. Sorry.

I ended up creating a new category, Gadgeteria, into which I will be posting all the information about any gadgets I may acquire for personal use. If it's just gadgetry in general, it will probably end up instead in Linkedelica. This is more to keep up with my own personal devices, and I can then look back over time and see how that selection has changed.

There are already a couple of entries, but I suspect that this will grow a bit in the very near future. Need to get caught up on a few different gadgets that I've been using and which I'd like to share with you.

Changes Underway Again »

Over the next few days (weeks, months, years), I'll be moving much of the technical stuff off of my blog and onto the company site. Nothing will change about the data (well, it might actually look decent), but it will be available at a different set of URLs. The blog will then become more personal and less technical, while the company's site will use the data as a basis for its own blog, which will naturally be much more technical (and, in turn, much less personal).

In the meantime, the only thing that's changing is the location of the download files. Don't be alarmed if you see that you are being redirected from cxliv.org to everitz.com. This is perfectly normal, and should be expected. Unless I broke something. Which perhaps should be expected too. If you notice any problems, please let me know. I'll try to keep you updated along the way and let you know what to expect.
