Lenscrafters

We bought the most expensive lenses and we thought they required “less cleaning”. But we must have missed some instruction because these lenses are not easy to keep clean, and are quickly smudged. Even with the provided cleaning solution and special wipes, they are difficult to clean without leaving streaks.

Maybe what we got was something that makes them harder to scratch or something, but not easier to clean. However, we were given the impression we were getting easy to keep clean lenses. That is why we thought we were paying for the more expensive lenses. What ever the real issue is, the associate should have been more clear as to what we were actually getting in our lenses, and explained that the ones we were getting were not the easy to keep clean lenses. I love the frames, but wish I had the super cheap lenses out of my $9 eyebuydirect.com glasses.

(and if the lenses we received really are the “easy to clean” lenses, my suggestion is to shop elsewhere.

Stop Using Internet Explorer 6!!!

If you happen to be one of the 2.9% of the people in the USA still using IE 6, it is time to upgrade!!! Check out this chart, Internet Explorer 6 is not secure, not useful, not anything!

It is a bit humorous that Microsoft is having to start a campaign telling people to Stop using one of there products.

Search, Earn, Redeem

Tiffanie has started using this search engine called swagbucks, basically it pays you for using it to search. So if you start searching with it instead of Google you can earn rewards. For example Tiffanie has already earned enough swagbucks to redeem a $20 gift card for amazon.com. Their search engine is a “meta” engine so you actually get results from a mixture of other search engines, but the results include the top google results most of the time. We both of started just using it instead of google, and sure it won’t be a lot of money, but an extra $20 for not doing anything more than we already do? Sure, why not. Check it out here

Here is an interesting graph. It shows when I am online the most based on the number of searches I did on Google at each hour of the day.

Need to create a secret message?

Steven — Mon, 26 Oct 2009 18:43:49 +0000

Was curious what an encoded message would look like if you also included punctuation has encoder characters.

For example, by simply encoding the letter e as a space and the space as the letter e, we can get: St v neHans neiseth eg ki steguyeineth eworld.

Which is still slightly recognizable, but with the word sizes completely changed it makes it hard to know what it says: Steven Hansen is the geekiest guy in the world.
