It feels great when you find someone the perfect gift. This item is no exception. When I saw this on Gizmodo yesterday, I knew immediately that I needed to write about it.
There’s a reader of the Diatribe (you know who you are) that would absolutely love this item — and yes, even more than water pillows.
It’s the personal grooming device known as the Goatee Saver (pictured below).

What is it, you ask? Why, it’s a device that’s designed to create a template around your goatee so that you do not accidentally trim part of it while shaving. It’s customizable and allows the goatee-wearer to get a clean, close shave while, at the same time protecting that precious goatee.
It’s adjustable to fit any size goatee — just bite down and shave! For a complete demonstration, check out the video on the product’s web site. It’s highly entertaining.
It’s amazing to think that two weeks have passed since the wedding — but it’s true. And to celebrate this two week anniversary, I received a call from our photographer informing us that our photos are ready to be viewed.

Fortunately, I’ve included the best photo of all right here for the world to enjoy!

Despite the download issues, the Firefox Download Record has been broken with 8 Million downloads in one day.
Go figure! Go Firefox!
What’s that ratty old thing you’re surfing the web with, there? Is that Firefox 2.0? Is that Internet Explorer? I think it’s time to upgrade and make some history.
Today marks the official Firefox 3 Download Day. The newest Mozilla-based web browser is available for public download today and I highly recommend upgrading. It’s significantly faster than most other browsers (especially for a PC) and it comes with a bunch of great new features.
I’ve been using it for about a month now and think it’s absolutely fantastic! But, like Lavar Burton, you don’t need to take my word for it — WebMonkey: Why you should Download Firefox 3 Right Now!.
I was following this pickup truck on my way home from the grocery store, completely baffled by his license plate. If anyone can figure out what it means, I’ll buy you a drink.
The plate read:

For what it’s worth, there was a Kansas Jayhawks License Plate Holder — if that provides any hints. Trying to decode it reminds me of the television game show of the 1980’s Bumper Stumpers on the USA Network.

Uh oh.. Debacle with the luggage… Let’s see what happens at Yul (French for montreal airport)
