Look Into the Past For Clues

Posted by Chief Oddball on Wednesday, January 25th, 2006 in Randomness, Site

Hey, you know, I think I’m starting to really appreciate “This Week Last Year.” That is, the little segment on this site’s sidebar where I cull all the posts I wrote during the same week of the previous year. Yesterday I posted a follow-up to 2004’s “Oddball Digest Edition.” Today, I saw [...]

GTO on rooftop parking deck

It was a terrific weekend. Saturday I spent most of the day working, but on Sunday I got to spend some quality time both with my car and with Apple. For the first part of the day, while Apple [...]

They Don’t Like It; I Don’t Care

Posted by Chief Oddball on Sunday, January 22nd, 2006 in Cars, GTO, GarageBlog, Road Rage

Ever since Apple and I climbed aboard the GTO and drove off into the sunset on Thursday afternoon, people everywhere have been staring at the car. On the way home from Orlando, we both noticed the constant glances it was getting from everyone from work truck drivers to teens in third-gen F-bodies. The [...]

Becoming a Google AdWords Guru

How to Become an INTARWEB Marketing Masta Blasta in 24 Hours! If my life were broken up into chapters, that’s what the one I just started writing would be called. (The previous chapter, Goatamania, would require its own separate volume.) The company I work for runs a very large and very expensive [...]
