1st Great Idea of 2013

You know how they have "undocumented" workers hanging outside of Home Depot and Lowe's? They are there to help you with what you just purchased inside the store.

We could really use this for places that sell computers, printers, and anything technical.

Outside of Best Buy, Fry's, or even Target, instead of guys in jeans and T-shirts, there could be freelance geeks, dressed in rogue Geek Squad white button-down shirt and black tie, ready for hiring on the spot. You negotiate a price, drive them to your home and let them put everything together for you.

Then later, when your 2-year-old computer gets a particularly tricky virus, you can return to the store's parking lot and bring home a geek to fix your latest problems.

How great would that be?

Last Minute Random Thoughts

I was wondering, "Where is Waldo?" It occurs to me I have never met or heard of anyone actually named Waldo. Did that name fall out of favor, or was it always rare?

Great vocabulary words for today: deft, flourish. Both are also fun to say!

See you in 2013!
