I’m not sure what people think of when they hear that I run a small printing and mailing business, but I’m pretty sure the mental image does not involve me holding a hair dryer over the output of an envelope printer, which is what I’m doing now, so that the ink on these glossy mailers dries before the next one comes out.

The strangest thing happened this morning in my Sunday School class: a Dartmouth professor passed me a note via a school headmaster during a group discussion…
My photo printer (used to print CDs and business envelopes) is getting low on ink (all six cartridges).
- $78.47 - Cost of six ink cartridges, including shipping
- $95.75 - Cost of just buying a whole new printer
To boot, I’ll get 50 printable DVDs as a bonus offer if I buy the new printer… It’s a different model, but the only difference is that the new one wouldn’t have the built-in memory card reader (which I don’t need).
Anyone want a used Epson R300 photo/CD printer? I’ll sell it for $10. Or just buy me dinner, or something. You’ll get whatever ink’s left in it, plus the benefit of having the six-in-one memory card reader (probably about a $20 value for the reader alone).
I just got a call at home from a telemarketer (trying to sell me web site hosting, of all things). That’s unusual. Especially since it’s illegal when you’re on the National Do Not Call registry.
If you haven’t already done so, it’s worth visiting http://www.donotcall.gov and adding your number(s) to the registry. Unless, of course, you like getting telemarketing calls, since it does seem to be effective for the most part.
When it’s not, there’s a very easy way to file a complaint.
I overheard the following “battle cry” recently:
You think that’s weak? I’ll show you weak!
Probably not what was intended…
