Since I announced that extra $$ from the Amazon links would be going to Prevent Child Abuse, I’ve had 47 people click through to Amazon from here, which is quite higher than normal, but not a single one of them actually ordered anything. You do all realize that you have to actually buy something for some of the $$ to go to charity, right? 😉

I don’t have any orders for the One Man IT Dept. Store either, but I also don’t know how many of you clicked through there. Cafepress is starting their holiday sale, so you might want to take a look before I decide to close it down due to lack of interest. (Cafepress came out awhile ago and stated that they might start taking down stores with no sales for a long time, assuming that they were no longer in use. I expect that mine might fall into that category at some point, so if you want something, you should probably get cracking!)

On the other hand, maybe I should be talking to someone at Dell about getting a cut from Kevin’s Axim X5 purchase…

    I’ve been busy, as you can probably tell from my not posting at all yesterday, but something that I’ve been thinking a lot about is the “mystery” of technology work. I’m reminded of something my driver’s education instructor told me many, many years ago. He said the goal of good driving was never to make…
