Florists
Apparently the Sunday after Valentines day is not good for buying flowers. I tried to visit four florists -- all were closed at 1:30pm -- before giving up and heading to my favorite jeweler, Mandarin Gems.
As the helpful lady at the jeweler reminded me, I could have just gone to a grocery store. I never find those flowers to be quite as nice as what you can get at a proper florist.

The Cable Box That Ate Power
Before I return my never-used digital-cable box and save around $7 a month on my cable bill, I wanted to find out how much power it was using. I pulled out my trusty Kill-A-Watt and let it run. It draws around 13 watts. And appears to use about 10 KWH a month. At 13 cents a KWH that's $1.30.
My favorite part? It uses the same amount of electricity whether it is on or off.
