You gotta love those wacky programmers over at Google. They now have a Map Service that is way better than MapQuest or Yahoo! Maps. If you click on Local Search and put something like "scrapbook" in the "What" box and "Denver, CO" in the "Where" box, it flags all related results for you on a large map. If you click on one of the result balloons, a pop-up with the Name, Phone, Address, Website (if applicable), and links for directions are right there. The navigation of the maps is a whole lot quicker than the other map sites, as well. This thing is totally awesome. Go check it out.

Well, I now know why I didn’t get hired at that scrapbook store I applied at before Christmas. I got a “Going Out of Business Sale” postcard in the mail a couple of days ago. I should feel sad about that like I am about All My Memories closing two of its three stores in the Denver area this month, but I’m not. I swore that if I wasn’t hired, I’d never shop there again. I didn’t think it would be under these circumstances. Oh, well. I guess either scrapbooking is not as big a fad as it once was, or these stores can’t compete with the likes of Archiver’s.

I didn't watch the SuperBowl this year. Marcus and I went out, instead. For the time being, AOL Sports has a site showing this year's ads. Glad I didn't stay home. The P.Diddy Diet Pepsi commercial was kind of funny, but overall, they were kind of lame.

UPDATE: The ads are also at ifilm.

MakeStickers.com is a site that offers premade bumper sticker designs (both 3" x 10" rectangle and 4" x 6" oval) and ability to design own. Prices seem resonable, also.
