I love getting and sending snail mail, but I’m the worst person in the world about actually getting what I need to send in the mail.  I have to make out my bills the day I get them, otherwise they occasionally get lost in the shuffle.  Even if they don’t get lost in the mess, if I don’t have stamps handy?  They might go a week without getting sent out and during the holidays?  Forget it!  A running joke is that my Christmas cards usually arrive on Valentine’s Day.  Thankfully, Google is going to help me out this holiday season by sending one free post card to the person of my choosing, provided they live within the United States.  (No Christmas cards for Nessie this year.)

Not only is Google printing the card and adding your personalized greeting to it, they’re even covering the cost of the stamp!  They have six designs to choose from.  If you’re having trouble picking just one, then you can send one via Google, and print out the others to mail yourself.  Either way, Google (technically Gmail) is bound and determined to help you save money this holiday season.

There’s a condition unique to the human condition called default bias.  Generally, when presented with two options, the default option and a different option, most people choose the default.  Even when it’s wrong, this dithering tends to go to the default choice.  That’s why people stare blankly at hundreds of channels, then just stay with […]

As the Elvis estate could tell you, being dead is a great business deal.  Michael Jackson’s estate is living proof of that, as his heirs, controllers, and various business managers have negotiated the biggest record deal in history for the singer, who died only 9 months ago in mid-preparation for a string of comeback concerts. […]

It’s no secret that the Internet has changed how we do everything since it took hold of the world.  There’s a reason that improving the Internet is one of the FCC’s top goals.  That’s not hyperbole; from shopping to music, reading to communication, the Internet has changed everything and here are the 15 websites responsible […]

Actually, it’s not just perfume.  City workers at three different buildings in Detroit are banned from using or wearing the following:  “colognes, aftershave lotions, perfumes, deodorants, body/face lotions … (and) the use of scented candles, perfume samples from magazines, spray or solid air fresheners.”  This is part of a settlement agreement between the city and […]

While Buzz Aldrin has landed a good career post-space flight by landing on Dancing With The Stars, and John Glenn was in Congress between stints as the first man to orbit the earth and the oldest astronaut, respectively, not all astronauts are so lucky. It’s a tight job market, which is why Bigelow Aerospace is […]

If you’ve ever had a rough day, stumbled home after a bad commute, and immediately been snuggled up to by a pet, you’re not alone.  The benefits of pet ownership on emotional well being are well known, but not as well known are just how valuable those relationships are to the pet owners.  Dogs are […]
