Where Have I Been?

You may be wondering what have I been busy doing these months, not updating Not Made to Measure.

When Apple and I decided to struck a deal and allowed it to name its intelligent assistant (Siri) after me, I didn't realize that I would actually have to assist you users.  Check out this video and what its like to be Siri.

See... now you know why I haven't had the time to be back here.

The Know: Duct Tape Fashion

Duct tape.  Who would have thought something like duct tape would be the next new trend in fashion?  Originally, it was designed to keep moisture out of artillery castings during the war.  Its original color was olive drab.  Then, mechanics started to use the tape to fix cars and so begins the dull silver we know of today.  Now, when you walked into a Home Depot you can find duct tape in all colors of the rainbow.  Why, even Urban Outfitters sell duct tape.
