Black Friday: My First Time Ever Shopping on Black Friday!
I have never gotten up early to shop on Black Friday. The very idea seemed not only slightly offensive but also boring. Why fight thousands of people for a bargain I can likely find online? At least that is what I used to think. What changed my mind? Four dollar tracksuits and hoodies for my kids. I saw the ad last night, my bargain hunting mouth watered, and I decided that if I could outfit 3 kids in winter clothing that cheaply, I had to give it a try. At least once.
Was I in for a suprise! Not only were there MORE people than I expected, but as a “first timer” I was unprepared and ill equipped and fed for the trek. I found out many shoppers were drunk. At first I thought that was strange but as the morning wore on, I understood WHY people drink before Black Friday shopping. I hope they had designated drivers, because the way carts were crashing into my heels, feet, legs and body I feel like the song “Grandma Got Run Over By a Reindeer”, only in my case, the reindeer had a Wal-Mart sign on it.
Just promise not to laugh TOO hard when I spy Starbucks and actually break into a song of joy. It was cold, very cold, and meant to be funny.

July 17, 2008 by Erika · 6 Comments
Hot off the press tonight, it looks as though all hopes for any kind of truce between the triad of Yahoo, Icahn (who owns a 5% share of Yahoo) and Microsoft have been abandoned. Icahn filed the nominating papers to replace the current 9-member Yahoo Board with directors who will approve Microsoft’s bid. Get ready at the OK Corral, because the showdown for that battle is set for August 1st with a shareholder vote. Icahn has accused the current board of being more interested in their own jobs and interests rather than seeing the benefits of Microsoft’s offer for shareholders. Read more

Yahoo to Microsoft: Your Bid is a Load of Yahooey
April 8, 2008 by Erika · Leave a Comment
Feeling like a politely worded episode out of the 1960’s cult classic “Yippee, Yappee and Yahooey”, where three gallant heroes battle a fire breathing dragon among other villains, Yahoo has responded to Microsoft’s “unsolicited” bid to acquire Yahoo (as in takeover) with a battle of words. Microsoft Chief executive Steve Ballmer and Yahoo! CEO Jerry Yang are dueling in language as the heated letters between the two giants were released earlier today. Read more

March 4, 2008 by Erika · Leave a Comment
The future of nanotechnology screens that instantly access and translate all information presented to them, and the neurotechnology we already have makes a future where we “think” of what we want to know or access, and it instantly appears in front of us, through our nanoscreens like the one shown here, or other possibilities like glasses and virtual holopraphic screens that we can carry with us all the time.
