It's Always Sunny in Fillydelphia

I’m not usually one to do fan art, but after “Fillydelphia” was mentioned in the My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic episode “Swarm of the Century,” I really wanted to create this poster.

The design is based on the promo and packaging material for It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia

Pritt Double Stick Permanent Adhesive is the Old Duck Brand Stuff

The Pritt Double Stick Adhesive Roller is the same product as the original Duck Easy Stick Adhesive Roller. Duck and Pritt used to be owned by the same company, but Duck was sold and, since Pritt owns the product, Duck had to come up with something new…

Adhesive Review: New Duck Easy Stick Roller

The original Duck Brand Easy Stick is my favorite adhesive. It was permanent, acid free, and perfect for taping stuff into my journal. The “New & Improved” Duck Easy Stick Adhesive Roller isn’t new or improved; it’s a completely different product and the adhesive is awful

Customer Service Isn’t a Priority

That’s actually a troubling trend. Good customer service should be a top priority, but many companies treat it like an afterthought.

I haven’t been impressed with their customer service in the past, but their customer service this time is really unhelpful.

Being User-Friendly Isn’t a Priority

… At least, it’s not for some websites.

I placed my first order at Papaya Clothing. It was a nightmare.

Friendly Neighborhood Malware

I got to remove malware from my friend’s computer recently. It was one of those evil infections that pretends to be an official anti-virus program notification. He didn’t even know how he got it at first.

14 Keys to Make Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Fantastic Movies

After all the problems with the last Harry Potter film, I worry about where Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows will end up. There are some scenes and details that aren’t necessary to further the plot but I think are important enough or interesting enough to warrant inclusion in the films.

If the movies contain these 14 key moments, the films will be that much closer to perfection.
