Walking into Best Buy wearing a bright blue shirt. On Christmas Eve, no less. This could get interesting. 😯
As it turned out, it didn’t. Either people weren’t quite so desperate and panicked as they often are that close to Christmas, and paid more attention, or the shirt has faded past the point of confusion. In the past, I have had people walk up to me and ask questions about pricing, where to find things, etc.
I never thought I’d see Tori Amos show up in a Marvel Comics comedy video starring M.O.D.O.K. — or that when someone started singing Christmas songs, it would be the Hulk.

I saw a car this morning with the license plate “ZU SHNL.” It took me a minute to realize it was “zu schnell” – German for “Too fast!” (It was a Mazda.)
As near as I can tell, all they sell are iPod/iPhone accessories. But they’re right across from the Apple Store.
Usability question: Is it better for a form to auto-detect the credit card type from its number, or have the user select it as an error check?
(Consensus on Twitter and Facebook was to have the user select it.)
After a week of playing with Chrome as my main browser, I’m back to Firefox. Chrome’s fast, but sometimes too much like Breathe-o-Smart.
Me: Why won’t you show me the full (relatively long) URL of this link?
Chrome: You won’t want to look at the full URL with Chrome!
Me: But what if I do?
Chrome: Trust me, you won’t. You’ll never need a URL again.
Me: But what if I need to look at it just this once?
Chrome: Well, I suppose you could actually follow the link. Or copy it and paste it into a text editor. If you really must have the URL. Not that you’d want to, of course.
Me: Why should I have to do that just to look at a URL? *headdesk*
