Amazoniversary

Three years ago this month I made my very first purchase from Amazon.com. They sent me a coupon for a $10 discount on any purchase over $50 to celebrate my Amazoniversary. Is this a cheesy marketing gimmick? Yes. Does it work? Yes. I probably won’t even use the coupon; it expires on January 31st. But

Fringe Barbies

Razors

<begin rant> Faces beware! I couldn’t find a true link to the evil razors, but this page describes the full Gillette product line. Watch out for the newest edition of the Custom Plus 10-pack of UltraGrip ™ Custom Blades ™. The LubraStrip ™ doesn’t lube anything. These things are horrible! I don’t know if I

Great Accessory

There must be thousands of rowers who are also computer geeks. Their

Oakley

It seems that Oakley is now at war with the Sunglass Hut. On their web site they’ve posted an impassioned plea asking consumers to not purchase shades at the retail chain. I really like Oakley, but I have to ask: Why the heck don’t they sell their product on-line? I would think that their target

I bought a soopah comfy blue hooded sweatshirt here this weekend and they threw in a hat for free! (I’m wearing it on the web cam right now.) The entire store smelled like grape Bubbilicious. How can you not buy something from a store that overwhelms you with grape flavor?

What Is This?

davidgagne.net is the personal weblog of me, David Vincent Gagne. I've been publishing here since 1999, which makes this one of the oldest continuously-updated websites on the Internet.

bartender.live

A few years ago I was trying to determine what cocktails I could make with the alcohol I had at home. I searched the App Store but couldn't find an app that would let me do that, so I built one.
