The Keurig K-50 one cup coffee maker. This thing saved my life. The coffee is just the way I like it, one cup at a time. It needs to dispense a little more at a time (only 8 oz. cups) and it's a bit expensive per cup. But, it's cheaper than Starbucks and you don't have to make a full pot or conduct an elaborate measurement exercise to get a cup of Joe @ 4 in the avo.

My wife's Nissan Murano. It costs $15K less than the competing Cadillac and drives better. It costs $15K less than the competing BMW and drives as well. Solidly built in downtown Japan, with good ergonomics and a retuned 350ZX engine, this car makes me cry every time I have to get into my built-under-contract-by-Ford-ha-ha 2001 Quest. |

Verizon Wireless. I've had Sprint PCS and AT&T Wireless and been very frustrated. Verizon Wireless is the only phone I use. Period. Personal and business. Good coverage. What else is there?

TiVo. The funny part is, I don't own one. My bro and I gave one to our Pop and he likes it so much, it's one of my favorite things. I use a product called Snapstream, which kinda does what TiVo does, but on computers. Since all but one of the TVs I watch are computers, I prefer it this way. But, I will probably get TiVo for the "normal" TV for Nancy to catch her shows with.

Labradors and Labrador mixes. Good dog. Good dog.

The beach. Why people put up with all the So Cal crap and then live in some city like Irvine, which is basically an overgrown freeway median, is beyond me. With the waves and their beauty comes a built in air conditioning and freshening system that keeps the air cool and breathable.

The TV show "The West Wing." Sure, it portrays a liberal utopia, but if liberals had half as much decency as the toons on this show, they'd actually be worth consideration for my vote. But, real life libs fixate on pork and abortion, so I sit back and watch life in a parallel universe, where politicians actually think (even if speech writers can tell elected officials and cabinet members to kiss their butts and whatnot, which would get them smoked IRL). Too bad more TV couldn't assume the average audience member had an IQ of 100+.

100 Years of Solitude by Gabriel Garcia Marquez. To try to explain it or summarize it would ruin it. Read it.

Australia. Fun country, nice people, good weather. Beer selection kinda sucks, seriously, but it's fun to listen to people whilst you quaff their over-carbonated brews.

HP widescreen notebooks. It's amazing how far a buck goes on computers these days. Dell sucks ("Thank you for calling Dell Technical Support, my name is Apu, have you tried restarting your computer?". This HP has, among other things, a normal keyboard and a number pad.

Propecia. My hairline is doing better than the day I was married. Drive to Tijuana for the bootleg, half price stuff. Got a bro-in-law and another friend for whom it's worked, too. Hair actually grows back.

The 350z Roadster. Smooth power, corners on rails, impresses the... err... my wife and kid? |
