1. Someone younger than you compliments you on your iTunes playlist.
2. A reverse IP lookup says that someone really interesting is reading your web site.
3. A tourist asks for directions, and you know the Secret Local Method of getting there.
4. Making an exceptionally brilliant call or an exceptionally astute laydown.
5. Finishing the IKEA furniture without any extra grommets, flimflams or whatchamadoodles lying around.
6. The shareware you downloaded yesterday for “someday” testing purposes turns out to be perfect for today’s 3:30 PM crisis.
7. Figuring out a great method of transmogrifying your EyeTV movies onto your new Palm, which provides both portable entertainment and excuse to buy a faster transmogrifier.
8. It’s 4 AM, a mile to the 7-11, and a serious nicotine craving is setting in, and you find one more cig in the “empty” pack of smokes you left lying around yesterday.
