Dear Blog Readers,
We have become the kind of blogger we never wanted to be — the kind who has a "read our blog" button on our website but the newest post is months old. We blame Facebook for this — it's so much easier to write something there and we seem to have more followers there than we did here on the blog. Still, we can't quite bring ourselves to give it up altogether yet — so instead, we're posting this little note to explain our lack of current entries. Please do check out our facebook page, we think it's fun, if not quite as long form.
sincerely, the Joie de Blogger.

A Happy Squeaky Wheel

If you've been reading this blog for awhile you may remember our post from awhile ago titled "Inquiring Minds Want to Know." Those minds were wondering why a nicely designed water based clock would be in a box covered with cheesy pictures of bosomy girls. So, yesterday at the Gift Show I saw the company that makes the clocks, and noticed the clock was now packaged in a simple clear box. The company owner recognized read my name tag and said "I'm glad you came in, we wanted you to see this new box." (They had previously sent us stickers to cover over the aforementioned girls.) He told me he had changed the packaging in large part because of my complaint. That made me happy. Sometimes I feel like I'm always complaining about things... it's nice to know that people are listening at least some of the time. It gives me hope - maybe Chronicle Books will remove that picture of Tiger Woods from the "My Listography" book.
