Devin just sent this to me via StumbleUpon: “Mad Libs” Style Form Increases Conversion 25-40%. I think those examples look totally neat and I want to try out a mad lib-style form or two on 3till7. Maybe the comments form and contact me form.

Also, it seems as though the left hand doesn’t know what the right is doing at Toys R Us: I got an email promptly yesterday morning saying that the PS3 120GB I ordered is backordered, despite 1) their web site saying at the time I placed the order that they were in stock and 2) not trusting the web site, I called and spoke to a person at Toys R Us who again assured me that yes, the 120GB PS3 was in stock and there should be no delay in my order. *rolls eyes* Seems like they should update their inventory list more often. I canceled the order and will wait to spend my money elsewhere. I’ve called my local Best Buys for the past few days but no luck so far; I will prevail!

My landlord seems interested in keeping me around. I’ve been going back and forth with her for the past few days about the rent increase and she had the maintenance guy come out yesterday to fix my patio door. I still don’t have a latch and the guy said he doesn’t know where he’d find one. It’s a modern door, it just doesn’t have a latch because the previous tenant was an asshole or something. Anyway, he fixed the seal on it so it no longer functions as a big heat-sucking hole in my wall, and he installed one of those frame-mounted bars that lifts up so you can open the door. I’m still using the trusty length of wood and my non-mounted metal bar to keep the door shut firmly, hoping for a better seal/more safety.
