Are you happy at work?
Maybe Web Watch should ask the question a different way: does your job make you happy? Are you happy to GO to work?
Or are you happy to have any job at all, regardless of what it is?

Have you ever been to the Super Bowl?
The answer is probably going to be “likely not”, due to a number of reasons – not the least of which is how much money it can cost to purchase a single Super Bowl game ticket.
Web Watch must have been busy back in 2008, as we totally missed that 2008 was the YEAR OF THE POTATO.
Funny thing about websites dedicated to a singular year’s event: those sites never really get updated. Yet they persist forever with slightly outdated information on them, just waiting for someone to stumble upon them and gaze upon their glory.
Web Watch was on a trip recently, and as we often do, we found ourselves chatting with others in the airport.
And we sometimes find ourselves inquiring about people’s destinations and plans. You know, to live vicariously through others ont their adventures.
One couple, for example, was on a month-long tour of Australia and New Zealand, and they were travelling lightly through the airport – as they shipped their luggage overseas to meet them at their hotel upon arrival (it was less expensive overall than flying with the oversized/overweight bags, and they already had confirmation that their bags were waiting for them).
Another person was going to spend a week in San Diego on business, and he was travelling with just his oversized computer bag. He claimed that he had everything he needed in the one case for a week; he prefers to travel with as little complication as possible.
Whenever you’re looking to buy a new house, you take into account all sort of things that are important:
- is the neighborhood safe?
- are the neighbors seemingly social in the manner you would enjoy?
- are the homes and yards kept up?
- have the home prices appreciated properly, or were they overpriced and all underwater?
- what’s the ratio of rentals to ownership?
- how long is the commute to work? to the local grocery store?
and more…
But there is one thing that many people don’t consider when they’re looking to get into a new home:
Are you ashamed of where you live, not because of the neighborhood, but because of the name of your city?
How would you like to live in either Blue Ball or Intercourse, Pennsylvania? Cumming, Georgia? Stoner, Colorado? (well, that last one may be more appropriate now than previously, but still…)
Of course you can see a full list of EMBARASSING CITY NAMES at any number of places online…
Have you heard about THE DELI MAN?
It’s a film currently in development that focuses on ZIGGY GRUBER, the owner of KENNEY AND ZIGGY’S DELICATESSAN in Houston.
That’s right, Houston Texas has Jewish delis. Who knew?

How to convert pee to electricity
With natural disasters and other causes leading to disruptions of the nation’s power grid, more and more homeowners are looking at alternative ways to power their homes when the electricity goes out.
Some people that Web Watch knows have decided to install gas or diesel-powered generators at their homes, or otherwise have a large backup battery available to keep the lights and computer network going for more than a day or two. Web Watch does support having alternative backup power available in some circumstances, but does wonder whether rushing into such a purchase is a prudent choice, rather than making a calculated decision as to whether you NEED to have such emergency power available to your household or not.
