So my venerable old inkjet printer died today just as I was doing my taxes. So, I hoped in the car and went down to the future shop to pick up a new printer. And there it was a all in one color laser printer, the price . . . $299.00

It doesn't feel that it was that long ago that color laser printers were worth 5 figures and had a lower resolution, and a 4 ppm rate of printing.

Then I realized that I actually hadn't seen the inside of a bank in about 10 years because I do everything through the interweb. There used to be a perverse pleasure to going to the bank with cash and checks in hands to do deposits, make investment decisions with the help of a friendly manager and take out a weeks worth of money.

Man I'm suddenly older then my old man.

Oh yeah, and today's beebop electronic auto-tuning music is just awful.
