I just discovered my buddy Bruce has a website. Check it on out. There's some funny poop in there. I recommend his letter to Dell and his letter to Compaq. He says what we're all thinking.

Nothing says "happy holidays" like this slap-happy keyboard. File this one under "some people have too much time on their hands."

Chris from NotMyDesk.com is a funny dude. Check out his essay called "A Walk in the Park". And if you like that, "Lab Rat" is really funny too.
He also recommended these cool optical illusions. Monday, December 09, 2002
Fun game! Flash Flash Revolution. It's like Dance Dance Revolution, except you flash people. No just kidding. It's like Dance Dance Revolution except that your only risk of injury is carpal tunnel syndrome, and it's not nearly as embarrassing. My only complaint is that even at the lowest quality setting a lot of my keystrokes didn't register, and therefore the game ended too fast. (And I've had way too much video game experience to write it off to poor hand-eye coordination.)

Remember when I mentioned how at work we can tell when people are looking at certain pages of our website, and start chatting with them? Well we can also tell what site brought them there, and if it was a search (e.g. Google), then we can tell what they were looking for. So we can say something like "Welcome to our website, {company name}, can we help you with any information on {this topic}?"
Now we are considering making this into a product and selling it. Think of how many companies would love the ability to talk to their site visitors... this could be HUGE. And immediately I thought (and said) "If this gets as huge as it could, this will be the next big thing that people hate about the internet, joining the ranks of spam and popups." And then my coworker said "Well, by then we'll be sipping champagne on the beach and lighting cigars with hundred-dollar bills." Cool... my first encounter with business ethics. So what should we call the product?
Why is it that hot air will fog up glass, yet hot air blowing from your car's defroster does the opposite?
This morning in Davis Square there was a guy ringing a bell and saying "Happy Hannukah Lewinsky" over and over again. There are so many reasons that is not funny, but he just kept saying it over and over again... nothing else.
Since I've been delinquent, instead of just one post containing a variety of random thoughts, I'll stretch it out and create an illusion of prolific blogging. Probably makes commenting easier too.

Here's a fun Jetpack game. Looks good, sounds good. I died on level 7. Now I have to get back to work.
Sorry about the bloglessness, but... y'know. Thanksgiving... MP3 player... laziness... |
