No, I was not blessed with the glorious name that is Colton, or the mannerisms that go with it.

After several thousand posts here, I have finally made my mark.

In reply to 4cylndrfury:

Reminds me of the recurring twitter rant from the first season of Dinner With Racers. Ryan would bash people for using #nobigdeal while posting a pic of something that was a big deal.

My wife just made a steak dinner with mushrooms, rice, and cooked carrots. It was delicious to the last bite, but the steak was medium instead of medium rare.

Why are my micro-USB cables all suffering failed connectors all of a sudden? I'm having cheap cables fail, and I'm having expensive cables fail. What is the deal?

You too? Currently my phone only likes being charged by the cord that came with my tablet. Not the identical appearing cord that came with my Blue Fuel light (that charges the tablet just fine), or the 2-way power-only cord that I used to use to charge the phone for the past three or four years.

Yes, so many cords. I've been leaning on Qi for my Nexus 6, since it's the most picky of them all. Sabrent cords have been reasonable. I've had the expensive Anker Powerline+ cords go funny on me.

A coworker gave me some special cookies, but it's a work night. :(

My smartwatch sucks. It's maybe the fourth try I've given to smartwatches. They're all stupid. I think it'd be great to get alerts and perform simple interactions, but nothing works in Android Wear. I can do five or six searches on my phone in the time it takes to get a simple weather check done on the watch. If it worked as well as in the commercials, it'd be great. I'd ask questions or give commands, and get meaningful responses in a second or three. Instead, because every query it can't answer goes to a web search I can view on my phone (never a desired result - when would I want to do the data entry for a web search on my watch, but view results on my phone?) I have dozens of searches for "no, I meant tomorrow" "that's not what I said" and "Nevermind." This in spite of documentation that suggests I can say such things to revise my query.

My watch, by the way, would like everyone to know that Nevermind is a studio album by Nirvana.

sucks for you Mike, my Asus Zenwatch2 works great. I just wish it would charge faster. I sometimes have to wait a whole hour to get back to looking at my tiny screen because taking my bigger screen out of my pocket just seems like too much work.

Oh, that it can look up!

I can only afford 1 car

My 100 dollar set of brand new falkens wont be here til Monday.

I forgot to refill my Brita so now my water is warm.

And I am getting another trailer-load of stuff on Saturday.

Work day too, duuuuude.

I am unsure that turning the seat warmer on in the passenger seat had any positive benefit in keeping the pizza from getting too cold during the drive home.

In reply to Mike:

Are you sure it's the cables and not the port on your phone? I was going through micro USB cables every couple months, but in the year I've been using a device using USB C, I'm still in my original cheap Amazon cords.

I have found the cloth feeling cords last a lot longer than just regular wire cords, $20 each at best buy or 2 for $11 on Amazon.

In reply to Jay_W: probably not. If your seat heaters are anything like mine, they don't actually turn on unless there is a humanist weight on them. Pizza is probably too light. It's a nice idea though.

I actually had to go and check. Indeedydo, the seat warmer will warm the seat regardless of occupancy. But I still have doubts about it keeping a pizza warmer than otherwise.

I picked up a Zenwatch2 last week. It is awesome.
