All About Jake

Las Vegas

If you happen to be in Las Vegas next week, look me up. I’ll be staying at the Venitian’s Palazzo in a Concierge Suite (pictured). When work’s done for the day, you might find me in the Concerge Lounge for open bar, or more likely at a craps table somewhere. This is my first trip to Vegas, and I’m looking forward to it. I’ll be sure to post more next week.

You get what you pay for?

I’ve had good luck with refurbished consumer electronics. This time, I guess my luck ran out. I bought this 32″ LCD for my kitchen wall. It works great… for about a minute or two. After it heats up, the picture goes funny. Oh well. Guess this one’s going back.

For the record, its a 32″ Westinghouse LCD, refurbished from Woot.com. At the time of writing, I haven’t heard back from Woot on how they’ll remedy the situation.

I think Biden looks better this way-- but I'd rather the TV work.

I broke my strict no-social network policy recently and joined Facebook. I’ve linked this blog to my profile. This post serves as a test of that link.

Let’s start over. My name is Jake and this is my website. You’ll find some older content in the pages linked to the right.

My blogging track record is poor at best. Odds are updates will be sporadic at best. I don’t have much to say I guess; nobody is likely listening anyway.
