How about an oxymoron to close out an otherwise utterly boring (but beautiful, weather-wise) day?
I just completed an online evaluation (through an online survey company) of the Barnes & Noble web site... and the "reward" for completing the evaluation was a $10 Amazon.com gift certificate.
The only difference between the two is that B&N has brick-and-mortar stores. Amazon is strictly in cyberspace.
Heh. Well, it wasn't lost on me... and I'm $10 richer at Amazon.com. Wooo-hoo!
