I’m interested in checking out Brizzly. I’ve been using Hootsuite but forgot about the extra mess they add at the top of the browser window. I do like the cloud-based management and multiple accounts though.

I think supplying a box of cheapo gloves next to the screen would be the cheapest solution. Kind of like those cheap nylon socks in the shoes stores, only now for your finger!

So funny that you just posted about this. A few days ago the fine folks at http://www.walkandroll.biz/ got in touch after they read my blog post on Walker Tennis Balls: http://whitneyhess.com/blog/2009/03/11/photo-of-the-day-walker-tennis-balls/. Such a hoot!

The skis definitely appear to be friction-reducing, while the tennis balls are for getting the in-between amount of grip and slide.

I got some walker gliders for the rear posts for my F-I-L a few weeks ago. What was great about them was that they were like little skis (made out of hard, slick & slide plastic). They have a clear advantage over the tennis balls, which tend to pull on things like carpets and will catch on rugs.

Yes, they were $20 and no, he’s not using the walker right now.

All condiments should come in Whataburger ketchup tubs…

I could see the marketing execs at Panda Express reacting to their logo: “I don’t think we should have a panda on the food containers, people will think we sell panda meat.” “Can we put the “www” infront of the web address, I don’t think people will know what it is.” “Why is the logo crooked? Can we center it on the box?” “These new packets, people just won’t understand how they work, can we put the words Open Here somewhere on the packet so they know that it opens?” “Why is that girl wearing a winter coat in the summer?”

sorry its one of those mornings

I use mine to keep pancakes warm, as well as biscuits, etc…

Best invention ever. You should design that slides open to hold different kinds. corn on the bottom, flour on the top, crepes in the middle for dessert. WIN
