Several months ago I was looking for a laptop. I saw some Macbook Pros on Craigslist that looked good and emailed about them. As it turns out, most Mac laptops on Craigslist are scam ads. I usually just ignore the emails from scammers but occasionally I like to have fun.

Ed. Note: This is the inaugural post of new writer, Craig Agranoff, who will be joining us to fill for my slack time.
I have always found it peculiar why people use Craigslist. Don’t get me wrong — I have used it myself to sell things in the past, but I have consistently found it irritating to post an item and keep it visible long enough without having to worry about re-posting it.

My final assignment was a visit to a photo lab down on Hollywood and La Brea, to pick up a blown-up copy of a newspaper clipping from my war-reporting days.

Filed under: ComputersIt's been a terrible decade or so for print newspapers around the world. As more and more people go online to get their news, fewer need a (non-free) printed version cluttering up their mailboxes.

As each day goes by, fewer and fewer people are making it in to their offices around town. We, however, are working right up until 5 p.m. tomorrow. That somehow seems un-American. What's not? Selling your cheating husband's awesome dragon lamp and Japanese weapons, that's what.
