John Deere Makes a Video Game



American Farmer".... The Game! A game where you can hire and fire workers, choose which crops you're going to grow and "Purchase and control authentic John Deere branded equipment". I can see the christmas scene now. "Well they didn't have Bonestorm but the man at the store said this game is very popular."

I'm waiting for the expansion pack where you can plant sorghum and spelt.

Found in the bargin bin (obviously) of Game Stop.

Like a Canary in a Coal Mine



Note to all store managers. When the olive oil in your store starts to freeze in the bottles on the store shelves it may be time to turn up the heat a little.

Random Snow Shoveling



What do you do when your job of snow shoveling gets boring? You randomly shovel around the snow back and forth till you get tired and leave. I was watching this for about 10 min.

NYC Subway Logic Puzzle



So, I guess that means that you can buy an unlimited card as long as you can use exact change and no bills, no coins, no credit cards, and no debit cards? Does the machine take checks?

Maybe they can just display "Out Of Order" like other machines on the first screen instead of making me click through two screens to get this logic puzzle.

We reserve the right to be altruistic.



TIAA CREF wants you to know that their motto is "Financial Planning For the Greater Good". Apparently, part of serving the greater good is reserving certain rights for themselves, so they registered it. Altruism comes with certain restrictions.

Drawing of the week (#109: Del Folksy-Beard)



So, I haven't drawn a hobo in a long time. Actually, I haven't drawn anything in a long time so I decided to draw something. As usual I really didn't start out to draw something specific but this guy turned out looking like a hobo so I thumbed through the 700 hoboes at e-hobo.com and picked a name that suited him.
