Wow! Several McDonald’s [MCD] outlets have extended the fantabulous 99¢ Filet-o-Fish promotion, at least until the franchise management has had enough of it, or until supplies run ou
Quite a surprise, but perhaps a minor one: McDonald’s recently announced decent profits, based upon their feedback and sales on their new $1 Breakfast Menu, which builds upon [...]

Oh, all right, so maybe it’s not really a poem you’re reading now… Deal with it.
And speaking of coping: dealing with the repercussions of the Mega-Snowstorm of (February) 2010 seems to be quite a struggle for the majority of the Washington, DC region.

It seems that, unlike the previous Mega Blizzard of 2009 (or, to be more precise, Mega Blizzard of December 2009), this upcoming one has more people in a greater frenzy than before. This may be due to the greater emphasis on reporting it, and the noted severity.

Smack! Smack! Smack!
Ouch! That smarts!
Verizon [VZ] has now gotten two of  Palm’s [PALM] flagship devices that Sprint [S] has been touting, although some may say unsuccessfully due to the odd way that software developers and consumers have been treated– or at least very mixed– there’s that new question as to how Verizon will position these [...]

Maybe this ought to be called “the FUD Edition”, Part II… After one year, remember the first FUD Edition?
As we count down the minutes to the start of 2010, let’s review some of the things that have captivated us (for lack of a better term) over the course of 2009:

Apparently, several people have had issues with WordPress 2.9 since its FCS release just a few days ago.
In fact, this has caught on such attention that there has been mention by Jeff (at Weblog Tools Collection), Keith (also at Weblog Tools Collection), and at the WordPress development blog about a beta version of WordPress 2.9.1 [...]

Just in Time for 2009: A Snowstorm

in Meanderings

It’s been several years since a massive, crushing snowstorm hit the Washington, DC area, so I suppose you could say that it was long overdue.
Given the craziness of the Congressional struggle over healthcare benefits this week (which appears to be the political version of last-minute cramming for an exam, rather than steady, deliberative, organized studying) [...]

in Gaming, Meanderings

Neil at the AppleInsider blog reported yesterday that Apple [AAPL] has posted a job opening for a full-time employee with significant game development expertise to work on iPhone and iPod touch projects.
