I’ve been eagerly awaiting my 120GB harddrive to upgrade my TiVo. Today’s the day it’s scheduled to arrive from FedEx Ground. I track the thing all day.. no activity.. get home around 4:30. My roommate has been here all day. We got a UPS package, but nothing FedEx. We’re both here til 5:30 then go out to dinner. I get back at 7 or so and track it. It says it’s been delivered.. at 5:17pm.

It was signed for by “RMASS” whoever that is. So I go to look at the signature and it’s just a scribble. Delivery street address is correct, but it says it was delivered to Morrisville, NC 27560. I live in Durham, NC. My ZIP code is 27713. What the heck? I was all ready to operate on my TiVo tonight. :(

Man, I’d love to drop RoadRunner for this:

Nice, the Impreza’s MSRP only went up $100. No biggie. But then again, there really isn’t any new options or styling, so a jump in MSRP really shouldn’t have been expected:

Hmm, how’s you like to get junk mail like this?

This is a pretty article about the continuing development of non-lethal weapons, that instead cause pain, discomfort, stunning, etc.
Pretty cool. I always love to read about new technology in development.
