A good deed is its own reward for Accordion Guy in a sweet story about karma, Craigslist, two sweet girls in love, and of course, playing Fatboy Slim songs on an accordion. Accordion Guy and Very Well Red (aka Mrs. Accordion) respond to an ad “Be A Part Of Our Wedding”. Read how it all unfolds here: Accordion Guy: A Craigslist Wedding

I’ve fallen for the voyeuristic charms of Seen Reading. The Toronto-based site’s premise:
- 1. I see you reading.
2. I guesstimate where you are in the book.
3. I trip on over to the bookstore and make a note of the text.
4. I let my imagination rip.
5. Readers become celebrities.
6. People get giddy and buy more books.

Impulsive Buy is always good for a laugh with reviews of new products, mostly things that haven’t (and shouldn’t) make it up here to Canada. Among the hits lately:
- Clamato Energy Drink
“as appealing as combing the armpit hairs of a juiced up Eastern European female bodybuilder with a voice that sounds like James Earl Jones.”
- Jalapeño SPAM – a review that reminds me of Simpson’s episode where Homer Simpson eats insanity peppers and goes on a vision quest.
- Dawn Simple Pleasures Dish Soap, with an air freshener in the base
“I could see the Dawn Simple Pleasures as a bachelor’s dream, covering the stank caused by a few weeks worth of dishes in the sink. Of course, the bachelor’s rule of dishwashing is, “If it don’t stink, just leave it in the sink.”

I'm a total Mac Whore. There are four iPods in the apartment, an Airport Extreme and and an iBook. Come the fall the iBook will be gone and I'm getting a MacBook Pro and I've convinced my wife that Windows sucks and she wants a MacBook for herself.
Mac Whore + real salary for the first time in my life = Trouble
I'm very guilty of #7.
Townie: I'm not a complete Mac Whore, but I'm willing to shill for product in return. So that would make me a wannabe Mac Whore.
I'm devoted to my iPod and iTunes. I'm ready to make the jump from PC to Mac, so the next computer will likely be a Mac laptop or desktop. The Apple Store would also be the first "Lottery Win" stop.
I had the chance to try out that iPod Hi Fi ($400 boom box sized speaker) and was impressed by the quality of sound. And I noticed some stereos are coming with iPod ports/docks, and we're starting to see some bluetooth compatible stereos from Sony.
So many shiny gadgets. Damn you Steve Jobs.
Jenelle: I think #7 is quite a brilliant way to keep people coming back. It's got me hooked.
