Hopefully that bely buckle will ship this week.

Someone hand me a Philips-head screwdriver. I want to take apart my foot.

dfbills.com posted a tutorial for how to get an image and html/css into your iPhone signature.  It worked perfectly me for me the first try. Brilliant!

Here’s how I know FedEx Kinko’s is struggling, from a quick stop there the other day: none of the self serve printers were working; I couldn’t find someone who worked there for about three minutes; customers were literally yelling “hello, hello” and walking around behind the counter trying the machines; when an employee did appear, she had no idea how to put toner into the copiers; and of course, there was the candy rack at the check-out counter. I kid you not.

That’s right, Kinko’s is trying to win the big money by enticing you to make an impulse candy purchase at check-out time – that, folks, is what the MBA types call value-add. “I know, let’s sell candy at the counter! That’ll bring in the extra revenue we’re losing by being incompetent!”

Expect thoughts about comic books, Apple (and AAPL) and computers, design, and business. Sometimes combined.
