fedex is better than ups links
so, i needed something here quickly and the vendor offered to ship via ups next day. it was delayed in southern california due to “inclement weather” whereas i got something from fedex today taking the same route. wtf? i’ve tried to give ups a chance to get more of our business but they suck at stuff like this. anyway, now that’s off my chest, enjoy these stories while you stay dry under a roof somewhere:
-> i knew san francisco was a little crooked with lombard street, hilly landscape and weird people, but this photographic evidence proves it [theoriens.com]
-> the guy in the picture above could be charging his cell phone or ipod while he walks if he uses one of these new devices [cnet news]
-> very interesting way to compare the world’s religions [religionfacts.org]
-> maybe dubai’s punishment for making women wear a burqa and walk behind the men is that now they are facing one of the biggest financial meltdowns in history [denver post photoblog]
-> considering people’s attention spans these days, it’s miraculous that they spend the time to write such lengthy notes and leave them on people’s windshields [theangered.com]
-> the zeppelin ‘eureka’ is based in the bay area and you can rent it out for small groups and take a zep tour. here are some great hi-res pics (example below) from a recent trip [comcast.com]
